I decided to mess around with a warrior for a bit, and the first thing that poped into my mind was a W/D with veil of thorns and armor of santicity (I think thats right.) A Warriors high armor + shield (going swordsmanship) + earth prayers might reduce a LOT of incoming damage since the armor only works agaisnt foes with a condition, while veil causing cripple to any foes that hit you.

Would that be an OK character? (As soon as I figure out how to do those skill picture things I'll post skills I was thinking of using)

My initial thought when I saw the latest update was "ebon dust aura + that chorrs axe I just farmed"

vow of strength anyone? that looks a good skill too... you cant use attack skills (just like some of the stances that give you IAS) but you basically are doing the damage of the skill "power attack" PLUS some on every attack you make.

regardless, i agree that earth prayers (or wind prayers) would be awesome for many melee characters as a secondary (assassin/dervish with Onslaught? )
