E/W Builds out thier?

Hi All!

Are thier any good E/W builds for proficies? I've looked on the boards,but,
can't seem to find any. Thanks for any & all info!

Not really, the only thing I can think of that I'd want from /W is shields up, and maybe a defensive stance in RA. You can make a fine enough build with just your ele skills, though, and changing your secondary is pretty easy.

You can't find any because... There aren't any.
Eles with warrior weapons deal poor damage, and are woefully squishy (tieing in an element leads to an either/or situation - Earth Magic has no Conjure to up DPS, and the other lines don'y have any decent defensive skills)
And Tactics are of little use to an Ele, as Ward vs Melee and Blinding Flash > Watch Yourself! and Defensive Stance, simply put. Well... maybe a stance for screwing Assassins in RA if your a Fire ele...

In short, there is very little the Warrior class has to offer an Ele, thus few E/W builds are seen.

Balanced Stance is useful in some Prophecies-only farming builds.

That's the only time I've gone E/W.

The OP didnt specify PvP or PvE, so ill post this one. http://www.pvxbuilds.com/index.php?t...ic_Aura_Farmer

A friend of mine developed that back in the day, and I made the page for him.

But then again, he did say prophecies only....

I used this build just for the fun of it and ended up doing the Defend Droks titan quest. (With henchmans of course)

Conjour Flames
Hundred Blades
Sever Artery
Gash
Savage Slash
Watch Yourself
Mark of Rodgort
Rez Signet or whatever suits your liking

If you had all 3 chapters i find this build very easy to use and its also good in pvp with some changes

Conjour Flames
Hundred Blades
Sun and Moon Slash (factions)
Hamstring
Watch Yourself
Immolate
Glowing Gaze (nightfall)
Rez signet

or if you don't like using rez, take either Flame djinn storm (NF) or savage slash or Healing Signet

^^ Of course, that build would fail miserably in PvP... ^^
No IAS = terrible dps
No speed buff = no way to catch fleeing foes (no, not Hamstring... if it gets removed, or if your target is prot'd... what are ya gonna do?)
No Deep Wound = yeah.
Oh, and Hundred Blades is weak. Even Conjure warriors don't run it.

Also, it lends very little utility or the spiking capability of an actual warrior to the team... Please, it is not a 'good' build, you'd do far more damage with Immolate/Mind Blast then you'd still have a whole 6 skills to play with.

EDIT: Mind *Blast*, not Burn... burn sucks

I've run shields up and balanced stance in HA, but that was more out of necessity rather than it actually being a good build for general usage.

well the only e/w build i run is a troll/minotaur farming build. and its mostly war skills lol. and im not too sure if the skills are all prophecies.

I've heard of people running E/W with hammer and air KD skills for fun, but I don't believe there are really any legitamate uses for a warrior secondary on an ele beyond some wierd niche build in PvP or some bizarre farming build in PvE.

Built one for fun, she does OK, I just like trying out weird things like this. I also play Magic:TG, i have alot of weird decks there too. Kinda my style.
[card]Blinding Flash[/card] [card]Shock[/card] [card]Belly Smash[/card] [card]Teinai's Wind[/card] [card]Crushing Blow[/card] [card]Elemental Attunement[/card] [card]Aura of Restoration[/card] [card]Healing Signet[/card]

Really its only good against melee characters who are up close in your face. Its still fun to watch. Im sure i could make it better, but well i have too much A.D.D. to concentrate on just one char for too long

Well, we have the E/W UW farm, but it's not recommended...

Magnetic Aura Farmer

I came back to the game recently and have been using my E/W heavily the last week or so. And I think I've found a decent balance of skills (although I'm still only level 19 and seem to have very few skills so it may change more).

10+2 Air Magic, 5 Earth Magic, 5+2 Energy Storage, 10 Hammer Mastery, 2 Tactics

Mighty Blow
Lightning Strike
Lightning Javelin
Whirlwind
Crushing Blow
Bonetti's Defence
Armor of Earth
Aura of Restoration

The important part is to ALWAYS have the aura on, self healing with each spell is a must. If you seem to be drawing agro, use armor of earth (maybe Kinetic Armor, this build is still a work in progress) and if you're surrounded, use a whirlwind following up with a crushing blow to deal extra damage and weaken them. Mighty blow is still a maybe, it takes a while to build up the adrenaline for it. For some long range damage, alternate between strike and javelin, using the recharge time to close the gap between the target a bit. If you find yourself low on energy and running out of armor of earth, bonetti's is an absolute lifesaver. It lasts for 6 seconds and can potentially recharge you to full in that time. If you've already got a meatshield then I suppose that can be swapped for a rez or a signet of capture.

Once I've got some max armor, I'm planning to add brawler's insignia to all of the pieces - this gives an extra 10 AL per piece, boosting you up to a ranger's base armor.

Even though I'm not at the endgame yet, without total full equipment and all the insignia and runes I want, it's still rather good at dealing damage, can take a bit of tanking (don't go without a competent healer if you're planning that) and seems to do well at staying alive.

If I do go E/W, which is very rare, I/I'd only do it to take self defence skills such as [card]Shield Bash[/card] and/or [card]Deadly Riposte[/card], along with my other regular skills.

Equipped with a shield and sword of course.

the only reason to go /W is the defense stances(probably one or two). Still sucks, imho.

I came across this video a while ago

the build seems to do a lot of damage..but lacks a little on the defensive side..

I am pretty sure the skills are

shock
res sig
frenzy
Protector's Strike
Crushing Blow
Lightning Orb
glyph*
elite skill*

I cant really figure out the glyph or elite skill

Edit:
