Just out of curiousity, and knowing some of the verterans on this site, what would be a good warrior build for Koss? I have some skills in mine, like Hundred Blades, but I'm curious to see what I could really do. Thanks in advance.

[Quivering Plague;OQQSEZKT+FAG8NSgaC8VGWCAA]

[Cleaving Comfort;OQASEZJPPloiSBqwXNs/VBA]

[Hero Earthshaker;OQASE5JTiFYf7ghF8VGWAAYcA]

[Dragonslash Hero;OQASEZKPkvp2iDAwXNs/VBA]

[Triple Chop Hero;OQASEZJPgPlSUBqwXNs/VBA]

How do you fit 2 PvE skills on a hero?

Oh, and the D-Slasher lacks FGJ.

A rez sig casts faster so it's good for in the middle of a fight. If everyone has a hard rez, you'll either need to pull out or have someone doing nothing for 6+ seconds while they're being rezzed.

[build prof=W/Rt name="Koss" box axe=12+1+1 str=12+1 resto=3]["For Great Justice!"][Triple Chop][Dismember][Executioner's Strike][Agonizing Chop][Flail][Enraging Charge][Death Pact Signet][/build]

And give yourself or a hero [[Splinter Weapon] to cast on him for lulz.

Also, as said, Res Sigs actually let the res'ed person do something useful in 3 seconds. Hard rez is for Me/Mo's.

[Blazing Spear][Cruel Spear][Wild Throw][Disrupting Throw][Flail][Rush]["For Great Justice!"][Signet Of Return] You do realize heroes don't cancel out their stances. For example they will wait for Flail to end to activate Rush and then wait another 15 sec for rush to end before going to Flail if they are attacking. So having 3 stances on some hero builds there is .. meh ...

If you want to use Flail you need a non-stance speed buff or none at all. Something along these lines (though Flame Djinn was nerfed, it used to cancel out the Flail slow effect)

[pew][pew][pew][Utility][Flail][Glyph of Lesser Energy][Flame Djinn's Haste][Conjure Flame]

Works great on a hammer warrior for exmaple ...

ALSO can someone ever confirm that heroes use [Lion's Comfort] when they have [Resurrection signet] equipped? I can honestly say I've never seen them use that skill to heal. I give my warrior heroes [Endure Pain] since it works for a change...

I lol'd at the above post to be quite honest with you. You know that the Godmode D-Slasher only has Enraging for use on quick adrenaline and occasionally for a cancel, right?

Warrior. Should. Never. Ever. Use. A. Non-conjure. ELEMENTALIST SPELL!!!

Maybe gale if you are living in the past. But for warrior hero, this:

[stunning strike][barbed spear][blazing spear][disrupting throw][flail][enraging charge][for great justice][resurrection signet]

Replace Dis. T with other energy-based spear attack. Energy is not used much so you can afford it.

Why would you use a spear in a warrior build when you can use a sword or hammer? :S

I don't see the point in putting res on a frontline char. I'd switch the res out for another skill.

Melee heroes have issues with attacking properly (ie. not running around like headless monkeys) and not overaggroing.

I would drop Lion's Comfort for ["For Great Justice!"]. And that actually looks like a build that might work.

Azizul - Why Dragon Sword to power not-worthy-of-spamming-skills? Better take something like Galrath Slash, Twin Sun & Moon and other high-adrenaline strong attacks. Plus mark of fury is kinda meh.

Sever-Gash is a perfectly fine alternative for a DSlash.

It's pretty viable in pve, too.

This works well enough for me. Not too original, but I like Gfte.
