Headbutt + Plague touch =D

Headbutt [E] u do big dmg, but u suffer from dazed for 10 sec.../doh.
BUT W8 PLAUGE TOUCH!! =D

Anybody got a full Headbutt build?

This will be good at killing casters, so here goes at making a build on top of my head.

Rush
Bull's Strike
Headbutt
Plague Touch
Defence of choice
Attack of choice
Healing Siggy
(rez)

I think the Dazed condition deserves some extra speed attacks to make sure everything that happens in that 10 seconds is interupted. Unfortunatly, Headbut+Plague Touch = 20e. Normally, I would go with a sword build or hammer build (just because swords have better non-elite skills, and hammer has KD). I don't know much about hammers and hammers do not look good to my eyes. But in this case, I think an Axe build would work really well too:

Headbutt
Plague Touch
Critical Chop or Bull's Strike
Dismember
Flail or Axe Rake
Lion's Comfort
Rush or Enraging Charge
Rez Sig


Stats:
Axe 16
Strength: 13
rest in tactics.

Why axe? why no other +damage skills? This build is designed to get in, and disrupt a caster like mad.

I just thought of a good sword build though...

Headbutt
Plague Touch
Protector's Strike
Barbarous Strike
Gash
Lion's Comfort
Enraging Charge
Rez Sig


Stats:
Sword 16
Strength: 13
rest in tactics.

Idea here is to charge up Barbarous and Gash before you headbutt. YOu are covering the daze with both bleeding and deep wounds.

I'd rather do it like this:

#1: Headbutt [elite]
#2: Sever Atery
#3: Gash
#4: Heal Sig
#5: Plague Touch
#6: Tiger Stance / Frenzy(if using in PvP)
#7: "Watch yourself"/ Sprint or Rush (if using in PvP)
#8: Rez Sig

Swordmanship: 12 + 3 + 1
Strength: 8 + 1
Tactics: 10 + 1

Use Headbutt and Plague Touch for damage and use Sever and Gash to cover dazed...

I've used
1)Headbutt
2)Plague touch
3)Desperation blow
4)Drunken blow
5)Balanced stance
6)Rush
7)Healing Signet
8)Rez sig

Strength: 10+1
Axe Mastery:11+3+1
Tactics:10+1


gives conditions like a plague rat. only problem ive had is energy management.

I allready suspected that many people would notice this far too obvious combo.

Headbutt + Plague touch = end of caster. Sure it costs 20 energy together but with glads and zealous mod you recover quick enough from this.

You have 2 balanced stances in that skillset

I tried the HB+PT combo as well, but that 20e combo really makes it difficult to do anything else. You're also going to need an IAS, which is another 5e. You could use Rush instead of Sprint, but it won't work with Final Thrust if you use sword.

I'd say axe or sword works best with HB, since they have faster attack speed for interrupting and KDs from hammer aren't important since your goal is to interrupt the spells they cast, thus shutting them down and burning through their energy. If they are KDed, they are not casting and the dazed condition is pointless.

last time I checked, headbutt was 15 energy, and plague touch was 5.

so, you wanna use your entire energy pool (assuming no +energy stuff) on a combo? just for dazed? I'd sonner bring skull crack... and I really don't like skull crack.

well, with glads armor u have 26? energy.
add a +5 energy sword 2 it and you have 11 energy left

Ok ive made a good 1 ^^ Useing axe

Headbutt [E]
Dismember
/doh erm the axe attack that gives crippled if foe has Deep wound ^^
Lions Comfort
Flail
Sprint
Plauge touch
and Rez of choice

I love this build ^^
