Well met!
Firstly, I in awe of the knowledge and experience of many of the posters on this site. I am playing 2 characters, a Warrior and a Ranger, and am still "polishing the mirror" with them. I also have certain quirky requirements for my builds. I have tested a number of variations, and now I ask that you put your Wonder Caps on and help me with the following:
A general query: What are the skill bars on the henchies; how do I find out?
Now the crux: I am obsessed with creating the best warrior for PvE (PvP, someday) with the following skills: Sun & Moon Slash, Rage of the Ntouka. Have Sentinal's chest, rest Glads, Strength helm, superior absorption, major vigor, strength and sword, rune of vitae, attunement (I think) Strength 15, weapon 14 or 13, 13, 10 secondary. Was using Tiger stance, barborous slash, gash, standing slash, lions comfort and a sig, with the aforementioned S&M and RotN. With Sentinal armor, S&M and RotN required, what would you do (love creative use of secondaries)? Thanks!

Hi there, To know what skills henchmen use go to www.guildwiki.org and type their name in the search box.
This should have been posted in Questions and Answers section by the way.

I don't think there is such thing as the best build for pve or pvp. In pvp there are some popular builds, or flavors of the month. In pve, it really depends where you are, what is it you are going to fight. Wiki (link above) is your very best friend. Before you enter an area, check there, you will find information on what foes you will encounter, what skills they use, what bosses if any - you might want to cap.
There is a build section here in guru you might want to explore.
Wiki used to have one, but it's now gone... yet you can find many of the builds here http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/User:Erathiel/Builds
Another good place to get some creative builds is http://gw.gamependium.com/tools/builds/
Great thread Warriors Solo-fest 2005
and here http://gwshack.us/
enjoy!!

2 things I dont like that much in your build: it is rather a spike build than a pressure build. And quite a few monsters are not affected by bleeding, deep wound. Plus, last I read, there seemed to be a bug on some Sentinel armors (which annoy me as my 15K kurzick is Sentinel), but I have not followed much on this and am using my Gladiator armor (which I have almost always used anyway). More details: http://guildwars.incgamers.com/forum...d.php?t=450764
I only PVE and prefer to do pretty much constant damage. I use the following:
For Great Justice
Enraging Charge
Galrath Slash
Silverwing Slash
Dragon Slash
The first 2 skills charge your adrenaline quite fast, you can then spam attacks like crazy as long as For Great Justice is active. Once it is inactive, you can get another nice boost through Enraging Charge, which has recharged by that time. At Swordmanship 14, you get 5 adrenaline from Dragon Slash. I only put 9 in Strength, which still gives 3 adrenaline from Enraging Charge when you hit. Granted, the pressure is less while For Great Justice is recharging, but it is still nice. And all that is pure damage and thus affects more creatures than condition dependant builds.

Forum members are not trying to be difficult but builds vary greatly. As stated, what works well in one area is not good in another area. Also, It depends on your personal playstyle.
The "find one build and stick with it" mentality is widespread among warriors, who mainly only change a build if they change weapon type. But changes that will make your character more efficient in a certain area are important. Being able to take down a mob in a shorter time can mean success instead of failure in a quest/mission, if it means being able to avoid an approaching mob until your group has recovered.
Love your enthusiasm.
