res sig:

The Point of this build is to Keep Primal Rage up with tiger stance to produce a very high dps. one of the keys to this build is to always keep primal rage and tiger stance up. you can keep primal rage up and tiger stance by using Renewing Smash whenever possible.

Attack Rate: 0.85

Average Attack Damage: 64.34

Average DPS: 54.88

i don't know how to add in the conjure flame damage so ill just say it adds another +9 damage to the build.

Tell me your thoughts good and bad.

Plz tell me at the end of post
one of these ratings
Good: Decent: Maybe: Bad:

Primal Rage is trash. Because of this, any build built around Primal Rage is trash... And since your build is built around Primal Rage...

Oh, a quick refresher course in Guild Wars Game Mechanics 101: Stances don't stack.

Sorry, your build is pretty bad.

1. Like the other guy said, stances don't stack.

2. I suggest testing builds before posting them. Test them in isle of the nameless.

3. Primal rage can have some uses I think. But it is a STR skill so it probably only benefits primary warriors.

3.1. It gives you a high additional chance to score critical hits. So at 16 weapon mastery and 13str you should get like 49%+the standard 20+% which should give you around 70% or higher chance to have a critical hit.

3.2. You're using it on hammers which is smart because of the high max damage of 35 you'll have some nice crits in there. Any weapon with high highest damage should be ok with primal rage

3.3. Critical damage gets lowered by armour so you'll only be killing casters though... not sure

3.4. Primal rage disables all your other skills so precasting something like judges insight or iway will probably give you even more damage at an IAS

3.5. Buuuut, I'd use some other elite I think

ya i posted when i was not able to test it, and i don't know when ill be able to.
and i still can't figure out how i over looked to stance thing lol..

I'd also not use it outside of pve. Disabled skills and being a stance means that unless you got a charge warrior around, you won't land more than one hit before they kite you...
