PvE Sword Warrior Build

I have always been struggling with warrior builds since I only have Prophecies and EotN. Can anyone show me some good general PvE sword warrior builds (with any core secondary profession) made with only Prohpecies and EotN skills (note: I don't have Flail, so I assume that I must use Frenzy)? Thanks in advance.

[dragon][fgj][frenzy] spam dragon over and over or [crippling slash] both can be found in eotn and i believe a reasonable crip slash build can be made from just campaigns you have




edit: once i can get in game i can give you a full build but those 2 are something to build around

You can create effective Sword builds with only Proph skills, but you might be better off with Axe.

That being said, here is a sword build

[frenzy][sever artery][gash][power attack][final thrust][rush][for great justice][Resurrection Signet]

Res could be swapped for Healing Signet and Power attack for [Desperation Blow] - I like to have at least one energy attack for use when adren is low or if you need a follow up attack after Final Thrust.

he does NOT have Factions or Nightfall so he can NOT cap either Dragon Slash or Crippling Slash!!!

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure u can't use them even if u capture them unless u have Factions and Nightfall. At least that's what I've been told.

But then why is [dragon slash] labeled as a Factions skill and [crippling slash] labeled as a Nightfall skill?

You could Probably use Hundred Blades (idk how to make it show the icon thing)...thats about the only sword elite you could use w/o factions/nf.Personally id just use axes.

You could make a sword build but the chances are you won't have any elite unless you insists on using Hundred Blades.

[Hundred Blades][Sever Artery][Gash][Body Blow][Savage slash][Frenzy][Rush][Conjure frost]

12+1+1 Swordsmanship
9+1 Strength
9 Water Magic (or whatever element your sword is)

Use an elemental sword if you want to deal more decent damage with a conjure. You could also bring [For Great Justice] instead of [Savage slash] as it works quite well with [Hundred Blades].

I'd have to agree with this. Without Nightfall or Factions, I'd scrap a sword build in all honesty and go down a [Eviscerate] based axe build. A good solid axe elite from Prophecies.

Why do most of these PVE builds have frenzy in them? nobody else thinks thats a bad idea? I would use a tank build and let my heroes do the damage
