A new build I found really useful

Concept:
The concept is to deal the same damage as a Dragonslasher, yet damaging dangerous foes with Pain Inverter (as obviously suggested in the title build).

Attributes/Title Ranks:
Swordsmanship: 12 + 1 (helm, can use sup runes)
Strength: 10 + 1
Tacs: 8
Asura title: 3+ would be good ( I have R4 asura)

Optional Attributes/Title Ranks (used when appropriate PVE skills are used):
Dwarf: Any

Skills:
[ Optional ]
[ Optional ]
Dragon Slash
Flail
Enraging Charge
"For Great Justice!"
Pain Inverter
Insert res/any skill here (I use Rebirth for HM, cap sigs for NM)

Skills to go in Optional:
An attack skill
Great Dwarf Armor (useful on Destroyers)
Basically any skill you want ^_^

Strategy:
Basically works like a Dragonslasher, except you have one new dangerous asset in your arsenal: Pain Inverter. Since the skill damages [insert target foe here] every time it deals damage, this is a new, innotative skill to use in HM on dangerous and lethal bosses to basically kill themselves if you can keep the enchantment up.

just do your best with this build.

Just a final word... please give me constructive critisism as to how I can galvanise* this build.

*By the way, galvanise means to strengthen, or to add strength to.

You don't need tactics at all.

It's probably for a his shield. Make sure you look at his profession.

This is the warrior forum, is it not?

You don't have any Tactic skills, so why bring them? 8 Tactics isn't enough for the shield requirement for the average warrior.

Sorry, you can't really call it a new build just by adding a single PvE skill. And Pain Inverter is a hex, not an enchantment btw.

If you're not going to bring any other adrenaline attacks then take [skill]Enduring Harmony[/skill] since your secondary is open.....

And a PvE Warrior without Watch Yourself or Save Yourself = fail...

If PvE needed those skills, why are there so many Mending Wammos out there saying 'OMG I'm so pro I beat Prophecies!!!1!one!!!

Just that your party takes more damage. Besides, you want damage, you're a warrior :S

why?> just...why?

Much moreso a caster fitting skill.
Made much less effective if the foe is attacking the warrior.
One usage just took half the warrior's energy.
Takes 1+ second out of their time, from building up adrenline for damage or other utility skills.

There are way, WAY more fitting PvE skills for a warrior to use up his energy on, such as all teh norn skills...

Just sayin, no real reason to use this on a warrior, seriously.
cheers.

Actually Pain Inverter is a fantastic skill for any player who enjoys the company of H/H. Maybe it's better suited for casters but it's obviously player only. One second is one attack, it doesn't make a difference in the long run of PvE. When a good player uses it on the right foes it's quite literally a kill spell. Target hard mode foe of your choice, press 2, and move onto the next target because it will be dead in seconds. If you use it on a foe trying to hit through your 100 AL armor you're missing the entire point of the skill.

Pain Inverter isn't bad, but I can't see why I'd run it over Brawling Headbutt, Save Yourselves, or Drunken Master.

You don't need a speed boost most of the time once you're in combat so Drunken Master is often inferior to flail, a single KD is useful but hardly gamebreaking, and I never leave home without the "SY!". Builds that don't have heavy adrenaline gain and only have the rank for a three second SY might pass it up easily. I guess it's just a matter of the situation you're playing in.

Flail detracts from your adrenaline pool and makes running between enemies slower, so you mow down mobs slower. Drunken Master does neither. Mainly I just love IAS + speed buff in one skill, plus I have ales lying around, though it's pretty good even without ales.

Since we're talking about a DSlash build, SY is easy enough to put in. Same thing with Brawling Headbutt. Keeping an enemy on its butt while giving out +100 armor is too good to pass up.
