Hi everyone, I'd just like to ask whether for you it's Ursan or D-slasher. A lot of people use Ursan because it's more convinient but i was wondering if I need it because i use DSLASHER.

Ok the link to my video is...

OK, that's not the real site... but this is...

If you have norn rank 7+ then definitely go for ursan. If you have a really good D-Slash spam build than you can go ahead and use that when you get bored with ursan.

D-Slash has superior DPS and utility.

+100 AL to all of your other party members instantly charged. Instantly charged 1 enemy KD. Highest single target DPS in the game.

This is the warrior build forum, and Ursan Blessing is not a warrior skill. Use D-Slash. Any profession can put Ursan on their bar.

I'm just wondering because both of them are great builds *unfortunately* and I couldn't decide. Ah well, thanks for helping.

ERF SHAKUUURRR (That's a bastardization of earth shaker) hits really really hard...Superior Aggro control and positioning is rewarded with lots of aoe damage.

[Earth Shaker][Whirlwind Attack][Flail][Crude Swing][Enraging Charge][Save Yourselves][For Great Justice]

Last slot is whatever you want it to be. If it can be kd'd so it shall stay down! Where monsters can't be kd'd I usually revert to a triple chop build.

Edit: I just realized I didn't answer OP, D-slash cause it's a build. Ursan button mashing is degenerative(it probably does lower your IQ) and makes you ill suited to do more than what a monkey can be taught to do. Personally I don't use either that often.

Ursan isn’t a build, it’s the 1,2, and 3 keys on your keyboard. Godmode is a build, it makes use of the thing you have in your head, called a brain. In short Godmode > ursan because it requires thinking.

This is Guild Wars, not chess.

The skills on my bar aren't of much concern to me. I know how to put together a decent build and execute it. However, the other seven people in my party are cause for skepticism, as I likely am for them.

This is why Ursan is so ubiquitous; it's next to impossible to screw up. Even if the numbers were adjusted to more closely resemble "real" pve builds, people would still use it because it is familiar and predictable.

Ursan gets boring very fast and is not as effective as Dslaher. The rare times I run UB is when I am in a zone with massive blind+blocking. Otherwise it is the inferior build.

Dragon Slash deals additional damage, and while "FGJ!" is up, it deals roughly 80DPS consistently and doesn't rely on chains.

If you were comparing an Ursanway team to a single Dragonslash Warrior I think you just further proven my point.

Seriously, use D-Slash as it will focus the aggro on you and make your party uberly resilient, and in HM that's good.
