yes thats assuming the player is dumb enough to use wildblow when they are fully charged..... generally wildblow isnt something you spam every few seconds

Recently in PvE i've been running dismember/cleave over evisc. I find it to be more efficient as you dont realy need a more compressed deep wound+dmg for a spike in pve, and the adren costs are more forgiving in an environment where you want to use your dmg skills more often. Thats the reason dragon slash builds are so good, spamming large damage while fueling adrenal skills such as SY and brawlers.

Hello,
I just tried this build today. My dps went up a bit. With a Shon's Reaver, I used:
Warrior/Elementalist
Conjure Flame
Berzerker Stance
Cyclone Axe
Eviscerate
Brawling Headbutt
Shield Stance
Healing Signet
Resurrection Signet
14: Axe
9: Tactics
7: Strength
6: Fire Magic
I kind of like the build, but I do miss having a condition removal.

Berserker Stance and Shield Stance are terrible skills.
[skill=text]flail[/skill] over Berserker, and [skill=text]"watch yourself!"[/skill] over Shield Stance and you're much stronger.

Yah, I'd definately plug flail in, but I don't have Nightfall yet.

Flurry with a Zealous weapon, then, or Drunken Master if your rank is high. Berserker Stance is just bad.

Flurry with Zealous is all well and good.

Yes, I missed that, and Cyclone Axe as well. Won't ever work.

Is it that hard to bring Melonni with Wild blow? It gives you room to put a good skill you can use whenever while you also have another powerful source of DPS
I'm

The best way to use an axe is to use both adrenal skills along with energy skills with a speed buff, so u can let out the energy skills straight away and let the adrenalin build up, then let them out

Still no comments on my build from page 1???
Well I guess if nobody wants to test it out they just won't understand how much fun it is

most people using axe already realized that using triple chop for AoE beats the pants off of Dslash for DPS. why would we go back to single target DPS?
blue.rellik
Because you're not always going to be hitting lots of targets and DSlash is the most reliable adrenaline-engine for a warrior?
Coloneh
you will not always be hitting multiple targets in PvP. in PvE you are very rarely only adjacent to only one foe. if you find yourself taking enemies 1v1 instead of 1v3-6 you fail at grouping/pulling.

So you can honestly say that every single time you engaged a group of enemies, you always managed to have the front-liners and back-liners around you? Please, what other stories do you have?

I don't bother, tbh.
The back-liners have a tendency to clump by themselves, I go and slaughter them with Triple/Cyclone/Whirlwind easy enough. The enemy physicals just break themselves on layers of defense - TNTF!, SY!, wards, Aegis, and Enfeebling Blood. They become harmless, I blow up the casters, then we pick off the physicals.

Enemy groups tend to get progressively weaker as members die, remember. Killing a group tends to be easier after a death or two.

Add to that you should be using some selective targeting, ie thier monks/rits/eles/mesmer/necros before you go after the paragons/rangers/wars/ect. The AI will kite in hard mode so your chasing down a solo target most of the time so your AoE attacks are wasted.

One of the reasons I kind of look at hardmode as if it's a pseudo PvP.
You need snares, more thoughts into your builds, less thoughts on "enemy be dumb, he go here, I smash" etc. Being Kited in PvE using all AoE type skills REALLY sucks. Eviscerate + Axe Rake + Flail = your friend... xb0vv
distracting blow has saved me so many times in pve. I mostly have to interupt a big aoe spell or something in order to save my stupid henchies. I never leave it out.
Heres my axe build atm: Distracting blow Triple chop Dismember Executioners Watch yourself Shields up heal sig res
Crom The Pale
While in the past I have almost always had an interupt on my war I have really fallen in love with the speed and efficiency of Mesmer Heros with a couple interupts on thier skill bars.
If you fear to use your mes then concider a Ranger with broad head arrow combined with a war using an IAS you get some extreme interupts. |
