I'm about to start Hard Mode on my warrior and I'm stuck trying to decide which heroes would be best for me to bring. I've been using Discord Heroes, because I went through most of normal mode with a friend and he was running the assassin's promise build, but now that I'm about to begin going into Hard Mode alone, I can't decide if I should stay with my discord heroes, or switch over to Sabway, or even something else.
My warrior can practically run anything worthwhile when it comes to builds, but I've been sitting with Earth Shaker, since it's so damn manly, and fun. Would it be better for me to switch to Sabway, or even an odd combination of Sabway and Racthoh's dervish necro, to pump some massive physical damage?
So, what hero builds would be ideal to run for my warrior? Thanks.
Heroes for my warrior in Hard Mode?

Since a war and a sin is almost the same.. then I'm sure the hero builds I got does the same job for you as it does for me.
[RC monk;OwUUMyW9YIOzEKyddlUP6BZgpPA]
[VoR mesmer;OQhkAkC6wJqjbDjlBuA5AuWG8iB]
[SS necro;OAVEI2I2eMlH8JYHkAu7kDkBVVB]
Even though that's what I use it might not be what you need, but oh well

I would say switch over to Sabway since a warrior does not have enough energy to keep up with Discordway. I don't think you need Racthoh's Dervish Necro since [[Barbs] and [[Mark of Pain] should be enough. The problem with Sabway is that it lacks hex removal and interrupts. Take care of those and you should be good.

The above barsets are confusing. You're using SS and VoR, but you have 7 interrupts across all people and the OP is using a Warrior which hints to either Earth Shaker or Brawling Headbutt, but s/he did note ES. Oh, and it's more efficient to just run a BHA hero / Technobabble for your interrupting needs. Also, the only conditions worth worrying about in PvE are blind, daze, weakness and (rarely) cripple. Foul Feast is more than enough.
For a Warrior I highly recommend the usage of Racway, although if you want a bit of originality I suggest an N/Rt Healer, Wounding Striker and an Orders Dervish, or Necromancer in areas with hurtful hexes.

I would switch to sabway, and maybe change the WoR healer, for a n/mo blood/prot Hybrid with orders.

That the OP is using ES ATM doesn't mean he will stay that way all the time and I just posted what I USE. And for the necro.. you could just lock on some other enemy while the war goes on another target and about foul feast, necro isn't always available to remove my conditions at once, not that the monk is.. but 2 of them helps.
That really doesn't justify the usage of your elite slot. [[draw conditions] does pretty much the same job if need be, and frees your elite slot for Word of Healing. Also, heroes don't use RoF well at all unless you're prepared to micro 100% of the time.

Mmm, Discordway imo.

Seriously Tyla.. don't you got anything else to do? All I posted was a suggestion, but fair enough I'll continue... geez
I'll again clear up the new things you came up with.... I'm well aware of that interrupts kinda messes up the effect of SS and VoR, but VoR is AoE so it usually hits more targets anyway, and SS is just put on the target I call. Does Power Return and empathy give energy? No? thought so.. the mesmer has certain energy problems.. that's the reason for everything in that bar... And last time I checked.. RC actually heals the target.. I might be mistaken (most unlikely).. for the RoF.. ye probably.. heroes fails at that.. but meh.. didn't worry too much about it.

Question is: are you still running around with the same friend in Hard Mode? If so, run Discord Way with him. It works fine in most places.
However, if you intend to solo, Sabway is probably the better way to go. It's slower than Discord Way, but it's a lot safer (not to mention you can just run into a group of enemies, afk for a minute before coming back). As to the build ZeAliX posted. The things I'd swap out is Restore Condition for Divert Hexes since conditions don't get piled onto you like hexes do. That and there's other skills that can rid conditions much easier (and more efficient than rid hexes). The Mesmer I'd probably replace with a Signet Mesmer but that's personal preference. Minion Master over Spiteful Spirit for sure though, not because Spiteful Spirit isn't good, but because the micromanagement minion master heroes have can probably aid him a lot more since he's just starting Hard Mode.

Playin' a warrior myself in HM, often with a monk human.
-SAB-way is always a great build. -Going physical-way with orders, MM and Barrage or sumthin' is usually effective as well -I've played some ele-way (unsteady + SH + prot) to great effect And there are probably a lot of other builds that work. However, what I mostly feel is that watching the enemies, do not agro to much, target right and kill as fast as possible are the most important things. I'd suggest to use some of the builds listed here and see for yourself what works for you. beserk

So I'd most definitely go for a Orders guy. As I have said in the Raccy-thread, I'd go with a necro though. Something like:

You're still heavily cutting the efficiency of VoR and SS. Eitehr take a shit ton of interrupts and take things that will not be heavily counteracted with them or don't take a shit ton of interrupts and take things that will be counteracted with them.|
They aren't that great at interrupting anyway, so it's all good. The reason for all the interrupt is just for the mesmer to not be casting that much spells that takes long time (and the energy ofc), since I want splinter almost all the time.
I don't really understand this. Your taking interrupts which you admit as not effective in order to prevent your hero from casting useful skills? Why not take a well rounded bar so your hero will always be doing something useful? Quote:
And since when was pointing out flaws in suggestions a bad thing to do? When people ask for advice you shouldn't post bad advice, and if you do people will correct you. Look at your builds and look at the skills. Look at how efficiently the players, or AI in this case can handle it.
