I am having trouble deciding between the two, both have there bonuses, but which really shines above the other, I will be using an axe with this build, farm/PvE with this build, and also do some ABing occasionaly. So what would be the suggested secondary (I know I can change my secondary, later if I dont like it) and what Build/Attributes would/should I aim for, and is there any modifications I would have to do so I can switch between AB/PvE/Farming??? Also when you post a build add why you like it.

w/mo is only good for farming I say. In pvp I go w/n and take plague touch, people don't expect it to much. You could also go /mo and take mending touch but I prefer plague touch, besides that I don't think theirs any other necro skill you would like to take. Most of them have high ene cost so It might not help on war. Also in pvp id suggest being a kd hammer, take devastating hammer and some other skills.

Well... what builds did you have in mind when you say they each have their bonuses? What bonuses, specifically?

Well what bonuses that I am talking about is which classes skills would best benefit me in a PvE/Farming/AB setting? Also The W/N Looks nice, also I won't be just another wammo if I go W/N But I will be using an axe for pve/farming and most likely look into using a hammer for AB. So what is a good PvE/Farming Build for a Axe W/N and what skills would I have to swap out to be good at AB? Also stats and weapon types such as ebon axe of fortitude or whatever lol... Also Armor penetration to me sounds nice...

I wasn't really saying it in a way that its a good thing, but I wrote it in a way that I do understand what you mean i'll fix that or something. Any how

He said [skill]Mending Touch[/skill]
Not [skill]Mending[/skill]
Lol....

You have to be in adjacent range to use it, which will never happen if you get hit with Cripple or any snare. And it only removes 1 condition; if someone sticks blind or weakness or cripple on you, they will most likely have it covered with another unimportant condition.

Rexsis Kai your just like me. And Marverick I do agree on what you say, even though mending touch is better in the overall perspective, plague touch allows you to to send the condition back to the foe. Also since your a warrior getting up close to the foe is the only wanna your going to able to do any damage, so thats where plague touch fits in lol.

If you're willing to use a sword, a grenths balance/riposte/d.riposte farms many things.

Lol.... Read what I quoted very, very carefully then try to find it in his post. He edited it after I posted But yeah, in retrospect he clearly didn't mean it the way it sounded. Sorry for misunderstanding, Isaac.

I would go w/mo. imo mending touch + perma rez beats plauge touch.

Unless you do prophecies then you're not going to farm much until you get to the secondary changing place.

The only reason to go /mo is for a renewable res. /E for conjure so you deal more damage. /N for plague touch which you don't really need. etcetc.

I'd go /E and beat large chunks of the campaigns with a conjure. Last time I needed a selfheal on my warrior was 2 years ago.

When farming your secondary becomes more important. But I wonder why you would need to farm in the first place =/

Lol for pve I would go W/Mo for pvp i go w/n for plauge touch. It's one way to mess with touchers who are really stupid, which is most touchers I see.

Get a monk in PVP and no need for plague touch. For PVE, w/e still works fine.

I do mostly RA since my alliance bites ass so we never even TA. And in RA you don't always get a monk.

For condition removal, W/Mo is a far stronger option.
Mending Touch owns Plague Touch, and there's Holy Veil, Purge signet, etc. Or go /A, Signet of Malice is strong too. And you get Dash and Disrupting Dagger and Death's Charge...

/N doesn't offer the same calibre of utility as /Mo.

Then of course there's prevention > cure.

Ah guys, what about Virulence? It might be an elite, but if you transfer a condition over and use Virulence, you can laugh your ass off at the enemy.

At the cost of giving up Dragon Slash or Cripslash?
Fun, but crap by comparison.

virulence stopped being good when factions came out. if you only have prophecies though, its a much better choice than hundred blades or HH.

I mean I know it has nothing on Dragon Slash... but I still like to put it on heroes sometimes.


Anyway.... my recommendation for secondary: Assassin.

HB is bad because it does no bonus damage, and swords have a low base damage. I would rather spread disease and crap all over the place than see a bunch of 15's pop up.
