its not bad, generally speaking as PVE is, well PVE, but no rez may be a setback for groups.

Drop Heal as One, it's a waste of a slot - especially on a warrior bar, you're cutting down the damage you do severely.

Bring something like [skill]Triple Chop[/skill] or [skill]Eviscerate[/skill], even [skill]Cleave[/skill] would be better.

You also need an IAS, your best bet would be just to bring [skill]Tiger's Fury[/skill] since is works well with your pet (personally I'd take it out, but whatever). And if you really need that pet res, just use Comfort Animal.

Take out Axe Twist for [skill]Executioner's Strike[/skill]. I'd drop down the strength to put up your axe attribute, too.

Lion's Comfort. That rocks now, but honestly - in standard PvE, provided your monks aren't incredibly terrible (which isn't asking much) you shouldn't need that self heal, and can just put in another skill to make the BIG DAMAGE that warriors should be making.

Buy a max damage weapon. 15-22 is Sword max damage, and Axes go to 6-28 (I think, not been on my Warrior much lately D: ). Furious is a rather weak mod, Zealous or Vampiric > them. Sundering is alright on an Axe, but overall Vampiric does more damage. Sundering is best for PvP with spikes.

You've wasted your elite slot and brought a pet, however -- your elite skill should be an Attack.

W/A has Shadowsteps, W/E has Shock, Grasping Earth, Conjure X. They are much better choices.

Just to build on the Furious/Vampiric thing (as mentioned by the above poster), think about the overall benefit you'll get over 10 hits.

With Furious, you'll get 1 more adr, with vampiric, you'll get 30 more damage.

Vampiric > Furious.

Zealous is good, I personally don't use them, I don't run energy-heavy builds, if you find a need for them keep it with you and swap to it when your energy gets low.

I'd drop Heal as One for a useful elite. You don't really need self-heal either if you work with a semi-competent healer

You could save yourself a lot of trouble with Vigorous Spirit. 3 skills just to have a pet follow you around and get a marginal heal every 8 seconds, nah. Heal Sig would be better if you're just trying to get a timed spot-heal. VS is a cheap but very effective heal-over-time, and casts fast and recharges fast in case it gets removed. Even for as much as people knock wammos, Vigorous Spirit, Live Vicariously (maintained), an IAS (you REALLY need to get nightfall for access to Flail), 4 attack skills and a rez (Res Chant is awesome in PVE) is a very solid build. Sometimes I run Eviscerate, Agonizing Chop, Disrupting Chop, and Body Blow / Executioner's Strike. It's a really hard hitting combo, especially against spellcasters. Deep Wound almost always triggers the AI to try to heal, and following it up with interrupts ruins their day.

If you must go W/R, I'd go with Tiger's Fury as recommended, but I'd still drop the pet. You'll also need a Zealous weapon to keep up the energy needed to sustain TF for any decent amount of time. But other than some very specific farming builds, I don't go W/R for any reason. Some people just like to show off their pets, but I prefer to use my skill bar to max my game.

For a warrior LV and VS are great fire-and-forget spells, because they heal you while you're doing what you're supposed to be doing... beating stuff upside the head. It takes pressure off the monks because Using any type of healing skill for an elite on a warrior is bad.

Eventually this thread will have your build turned into a standard Evis/E Strike Axe/Strength build. If you're playing to have fun and want to keep your pet, ask in the Ranger forum which 2 skills in addition to Charm Animal you should use, then ask here which 4 Axe skills would be best and state that the other 4 slots are for rez and your secondary. You'll never get a good response on a forum that mixes a non R/? with Beast Mastery.

I understand where your coming from. Here is what I would suggest you change to optimize this build, assuming you really wish to keep the pet.

Heal as one is a good self heal, and resses your pet so keep it, unless your in a party with live people, then you can drop it for an elite axe attack(Eviserate) and put comfort animal on your bar to res your pet(or drop pet)
Axe Twist replaced with an IAS (Tigers Stance would be good)
Sundering Chop replace with Otyugh's Cry, this will make up for your pet being Dire and give it unblockable attacks.

Now thats all based on you keeping your pet, if you drop the pet you can get a much better build (dealing much higher damage with Dragon Slash).

I sometimes like to run a war/ranger in pve just for the fun of it, but it is a less effective build.

Your attribute spread seems funky. It looks almost as if you're running dual superior runes, which is a bad idea. I would avoid major and superior runes as much as possible.

If you want the pet, fixing that build is as simple as tossing penetrating chop or axe twist and adding an IAS, probably flail. Hell, I'd probably toss both of those skills, they're somewhat weak and will drain adrenaline from the skills you want to be using.

If you don't care about the pet, I'd go triple chop.

[skill]triple chop[/skill][skill]cyclone axe[/skill][skill]dismember[/skill][skill]disrupting chop[/skill][skill]flail[/skill][skill]rush[/skill][skill]lion's comfort[/skill][skill]resurrection signet[/skill]

Is the base, fun tweaks include adding Save Yourselves!, splinter weapon, a conjure, or anything really in the last three slots.

Disrupting chop can be swapped for another adrenal axe skill. Make sure you have a zealous axe.

take out Rush for Enraging Charge
I'd take out another skill either distracting chop or cyclone axe for Counterattack ... for pve anyways

Ive been trying out this build now...

fiery shadow axe of fortitude
exalted aegis
fire=10
str=13
axe=13

frenzy
rush
eviscerate
penetrating chop
penetrating blow
executioner's strike
disrupting chop
conjure flame


wut do u think? Penetrating Chop/Blow are never good, they just don't deal enough damage to justify thier cost. If your looking for spike dmg then Eviscerate + Executioners+Power attack would fit your build well. Toss in a res signet for if your monks go down, and if your running hench monks they will most certainly die at some point.

If you are looking for more of a DPS axe build then may I suggest this one.

[skill]"For Great Justice!"[/skill][skill]Tiger Stance[/skill][skill]Whirling Axe[/skill][skill]Dismember[/skill][skill]Executioner's Strike[/skill][skill]Conjure Flame[/skill][skill]Rush[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

I would also suggest changing your attribute to:

Axe Mastery 14 (11 +1 head piece +2 major rune)
Strength 11 (10 +1 minor rune)
Fire Magic 10

If you're using Rush you really should consider Frenzy instead.

And there's TChop, Cyclone Axe, Whirlwind Attack, and Deep Wound.

One SY, wether it is para or warrior pwnz but theres on reason to take one for dmg. I know how much you luv your precious melees tyla, you cant admit caster wins sometimes.

SY is a bonus, Paragons already do insane damage with a Spear while keeping defensive capabilities, much like the SY Godmode Warrior, except it's more permanent on a Paragon and Godmode Warriors have a KD.

By the way, did you read the bit about Ritualists? Splinter Weapon and Ancestors' Rage are extremely powerful skills, and you'll be an idiot to say otherwise.

And Deep Wound is the strongest condition in the game apart from Daze, which only applies to PvE.

Plus it's already been proven that Warriors do the most raw DPS in the game. Taking an Elementalist (For damage) over a Ritualist with Splinter Weapon and Ancestors' Rage and melee. Along with support. Party heals, unremovable buffs, +100 armour to the party with extreme DPS...

My points was that single target warrior is not the best dmg dealer in pve.

Random AoE damage in a physical party isn't effective tho.

Eles are big damage-dealers in PvE.
Untill, you know, you fight Destroyers or hit hard-mode.
