Exactly what is considered an "attack skill"? This skill looks interesting, but I'd like to know just how far I can take it.

If it says "Melee Attack" "Attack" "Bow Attack" or whatever else that has "Attack" in its skills type.

Although I think it discludes Pet Attacks because Tiger's Fury disables them.

Dang. Oh well, I'll see what I can do with it. Can anyone recommend some other nice warrior elites? I hear the Bull's Charge or whatever one sucks.

With Flourish you can deliver 2 by 2 combo very quick if you manage your skills good - like you can do around 200 dmg in 5 seconds alone - double Final thrusts or victory thrills - sounds good!

I dont think it recharges adernaline attacks, although i may be wrong, can anyone confirm or disprove this?

It doesn't recharge Adreneline skills, people complain about it all the time.

Yeah, you can't double final thrust, it just recharges energy attacks... in past BWEs there were some fun combos, but most were removed, so, while useful, it's rarely the best elite in any given situation.

Yeah, it's pretty useful as a R/W
Seeking Blade + Pure Strike + Wild Blow + Thrill of Victory then flourish and do it again. It can pull out some decent dps

Mmm thanks guys.. so much for that. I don't worry that much about energy due to Balthazar's Spirit, and, *gasp*, actually tanking. Forgot to say I was thinking about this for PvE purposes. How cool would it be to flourish symbol of wrath over and over? Shielding hands also comes to mind...

Does flourish recharge stuff like Shield bash or Warrior's Cunning, these are all listed as "skills"

Flourish lets sword warriors do more damage than a hammer could in little time
Bring pure strike / seeking blade / power attack / flourish X2

Use in that order, major dmg output (str must be >9)
