Curse

well i was just in a semicrap pickup group (made it past the underworld though) and we went to broken tower....

well, we let the two other teams start attacking each other, and there was a blue/yellow convergence on the altar. So we thought we'd join in

.

I got right in the middle, and threw a crude swing off. Woah! half my screen (ok maybe slight exaggeration) suddenly became full of numbers (about 12 people must have been hit with it). I also noticed my elite skill, "Earth Shaker" had been charged immediately.. So I hit earth shaker, and then crude swing again... and then i hit earth shaker, and then i hit crude swing (literally, nonstop). it was AWESOME! My mana was always full (even though crude swing uses 5 mana) because i was using a Zealous Hammer Haft (gave me about 12 mana per hit i guess)... I then started to bring aftershock into the equation.. (this was helped a bit beacuse the other team were a ranger build with quickening zephyr) so basically, my attacks were like this:
crude swing - earthshaker - aftershock - crude swing -earthshaker - aftershock
.. couldnt stop myself laughing all this time! was so perfect

Well, we stayed alive, and mass killed, but we managed to let our hero die, and thus lost

.. would have loved to have tried it on HoH altar...

anyway, just wanted to share (hope they dont nerf crude swing ;D )

edit: cliffs:
1) Zealous Hammer Haft
2) Quickening Zephyr
2) Crude Swing
3) Earth Shaker
4) Aftershock
5)...
6) PWNAGE!

Crude Swing is interruptable. Which means a nice ele AoE on the alter, which happens very often, will stop your build.

But otherwise...glad you found an effective build.

Easily interrupted skills are only interrupted by attacks. Spells will do nufink.

Crude Swing? Earth Shaker? lol? Sounds like one of those situational builds where if everything isn't perfect it crashes and burns.

Actually, if you think about it, it's quite a powerful build.

Who's going to be physically attacking another warrior? I thought warrior's were mostly "ignored"...

Since spells won't interrupt it and warriors aren't 'supposed' to be targeted, I'd say you've found yourself a VERY dangerous build up in here. Use For Great Justice! So you only have to hit half as many people.

I'd call this the Earth God build...

Also, if you're afraid of retaliation, I'd say, just stop using Aftershock and just spam Earth Shaker with Crude. If you've got stonefists, the enemy is in PURE knocklock till death do they part...

This would ONLY work in a KotH arena for obvious reasons.
