Please I need some feedback on A swordsman W/E build.
Strength 12
Swordmanship 13
Tactics 7
Fire 8
Skills:
Hundred Blades -E
Desperation Blow
Final Thrust
Pure Strike
Tenai's Heat(26 Fdmg Per sec for 5 secs)
Inferno(86 Fdmg)
Glyph of lesser energy(with 5 energy you can do both fire spells for free)
Healing Signet
The Character has 565 health 25 energy
Thanks in advance...
Rate W/E build

Is this for PvE or PvP?
Anyway I'd ditch the ele-crap. If you want to cast, roll an ele. Also you should consider a rez.
Desperation Blow without a way to counter the KD? eww
Put Swordmanship to 16, that way you'll do much more dmg than using Inferno & Tenai's Heat.
If you need a nice Warrior Build, just look around here (*cough* Dragon Slash >>> 100 Blades
)

Thanks in advance... It's a bad build.
Your faults are - you will do more damage with Warrior attack skills than with ele skills. So drop all the fire magic crap.
You have no rez. BRING A REZ.
Hundred Blades is one of the worste elites in the game. Chosse a much more viable sword elite like Dragon Slash
Your attributes are bad. Max out your weapon mastery, raise tactics up to 11 for your heal sig and str to 9. You could take lions comfort if needed so you could have higher strength.

This build is...well, horrible.

Sucks.
Take as a general rule that you don't use spells from your secondary on a warrior. There are a few exeptions to this (namely [skill]shock[/skill] and [skill]mending touch[/skill], or maybe [skill]plague touch[/skill]), but certainly not [skill]searing heat[/skill] and [skill]Inferno[/skill]
Why is your strength so high? Strength's passive effect is the worst in the game. It seriously does nothing. Don't take high strength unless you have strength skills that need it. You don't, so those points are better invested in tactics for a stronger [skill]Healing Signet[/skill]
[skill]Desperation Blow[/skill] sucks if you don't use [skill]Steady Stance[/skill] or [skill]Balanced Stance[/skill], and [skill]Hundred Blades[/skill] sucks no matter what. Just look at [skill]sun and moon slash[/skill] and you know [skill]dragon slash[/skill] is a better elite.

Firstly, I'd like to point out that Hundred Blades was never intended to be an elite skill. It was just made that way so it couldn't be used with [card]Illusionary Weaponry[/card].
Secondly, when making a build for general PvE, keep in mind the following;
- Warriors are DPS machines 99% of the time
- Minimum of 4 attacks, including an elite. IMO if you're a sword Warrior and you aren't running Dragon Slash (keep in mind I'm talking about general PvE), then you need to rethink things
- Only use 1-2 secondary skills, but make sure they are utility skills. Damage skills are not worth it. Useful utility skills include Mending Touch and Plague Touch
- Swordsmanship should be at 16
Well, that's about it, that I can think of anyway.

I hardly ever run dragon slash, hundred blades FTW!
If the build works , go with it. As long as its fun use it!
I myself have mucked around with fire storm on my warrior for PvE, a monk cant heal if hes running out of a fire storm.
Thats my views.

Your better off making an earth build... If people asked for your skill bar in 5 man fow in euro servers... You'd be kicked...
raven evo

I don't recall the OP saying this build is used for 5 man FoW runs.

Illusionary Weaponry + Hundred Blades is not a scary prospect. Is that really the reason ?
Flashy
Hundred Blades is an great elite... just combine it with the right skills...
Splinter Weapon? OMG U hit target twice + Adjacent target twice + adjacent targets take twice Splinter Weapon(50 dmg each splinter hit)... and guess what!!! since u hit Adjacent foe the primary target also takes twice Splinter Weapon... u know what happens if you hit 3 targets at the same time
that 200 damage Splinter weapon + about ±50 each sword hit...
Something like that
but you need to have a splinter weapon rit with you ^^ and need to let players ball up (pretty easy in AB on Warrior shrine) 
It really depends and I hate people that says: this elite sucks this 1 is better... Skills arn't elites for nothing you know

HB is also amazing for adrenaline gain, 3 foes infront of you *whack* 6 adrenaline straight away no **10 adrenaline!** build up by which time all the enemies are dead.

Also if hundred blades is not a true elite why did they make it *the* end skill to cap in prophecies?

Hundred blades became a elite during beta testing because of all the whiners who complained that sword didnt have any elites. Cyclone axe isnt elite and its a compareable skill.
also strength isnt completely worthless, i usually run at least 9 str but prefer 10.
I agree with splatter if u want to play with fire then Starburst is a nice elite, maybe toss in conjure flame for extra dps and your good to go.

ugh... build really isn't that great, sry. If you want a nice warrior sword build, do not use hundred blades. Period. Some much better skills are quivering blade+plage sending, or sun and moon slash+dragon slash. Also, it is great to have a skill that increases the rate at which you attack while playing a warrior, such as flail. Anyways, these are just my thoughts, and you should reall do whatever you think works best for you.

12 sword mastery with no IAS and a +5e sword ≠ High damage output. Oh, and RA wins really mean nothing.
Katari
Yeah, I read that you claimed you were doing good damage with 12 sword mastery, a sword with no damage mod, and no IAS stance. I also doubt you'd have mentioned using it in RA if you didn't feel it was effective there.

HB is NOT a sucky elite...combined with Live Vicariously and Vigorous spirit you can really get some good self healing going without loosing much damage. It is also great for gaining adrenaline when using a 10/10 adrenaline mod.
As for your build, you really want to re think it. As others have said you usually bring utility skills for your secondary such as condition removal, knockdowns, stances, etc. Also max out your weapon attribute, you will do more damage with that than from the ele skills. BRING A REZ. Also try to stick to single target attacks as much as possible, do to the AI mechanics.

amidst all the 'elitism' attitudes.... (which I must agree with)
you can actually do pretty good mob damage with ...conjure flame...hundred blades...inferno.... you just need some good healers on your team...as this takes up your healing spot... (and your energy pool) that is if profecies is your only chapter... if thats the case Hb is pretty much your only sword elite...
do what works now...and in a few months you'll see what these others are talking about...

jesh
Inferno can do ok on a warrior, just as long as you don't bother with tactics.
12+3+1 Swordsmanship
8+1 Strength
10 Fire
Conjure Flame
Dragon Slash {E}
Sun and Moon Slash
Res Sig
Inferno
Flail
Enraging Charge
"For Great Justice!"/Standing Slash
I do agree that using weapon spells such as Splinter Weapon are a better option than Fire Magic. Also.. Liquid Flame is probably a better offensive fire spell than Inferno. Maybe even Breath of Fire.
