Hi all,I been playing GW since around August.I have to say GW is a great place to play,its a lot of fun!! I am also getting factions.I am old schooler,been a hardcore online gamer since 1996.Got really hooked on the delta Force series.DF1 is a classic baby!!..Anyway:Im have recently found this site and after figuring builds and stuff all by my self,I think I have found the ultimate offensive axe warrior build.Its a strickly warrior build,you will NOT be using any of your secondarly profession.I have been using this build since my 1st charachter(4 charachters in).And none of my other warrior charachters can do as much damage,I have a sword,hammer,and axe warrior.

Now after that intro
MY PERFECT OFFENSIVE BUILD FOR A WARRIOR "FARMING & PVE"
lvl 20 w
1.Doylak Sig
2.Healing Sig
3.Gladiators Defense (Swift Chop was used before I aquired this skill,highly recommend gladiators defense to farm)
4.Thrill of Victory
5.Protectors Strike
6.Power Attack
7.Executioners Strike
8.Penetrating Blow
Strenth- 10+1 11 (Minor Rune)
Axe Mastery- 10+4 14 (1 superior Axe Rune,(your only sup rune) and the axe helmet,for +4 TOTAL)
Tactics- 9+1 10 (Minor Rune)


This is MY best build OFFENSIVELY and is very very effective.I thought I would share it with youI go solo farming with just the henchies everywhere including Sorrows Furnace and do just fine.I have also completed the entire game with basically the same build as I was able to aquire them,"",..I finished every mission and quest except for about 5 missions,with just the henchies using this same build...""

Well hope this helps some of you OFFENSIVE ,KICK BUTT ,HIGH OUTPUTTING DAMAGE, WARRIOR gurus out there.Its helped me ALOT!!

Sundering is not a good mod to use. Zealous and Vampiric are better for farming, and for killing speed the correct Elemental will help. Adren gain mod is good too.

Also, in terms of pure damage, I think getting to 16 Axe would help more than the points in Tactics...

Tactics- 9+1 10 (Minor Rune) you are short about 30 attribute points. You could easily bump it up to 11, 15, 11.

Also, why Sundering and Axe Mastery on the axe?

Lastly, your shield goves you "-3 rcd dmg all the time" with no conditions? I though the only way to get -3 damage was while hexed or with (Chance: 5-10%)

balthzars spirit
purge sigit
plage touch
antidote sigit
and more....


ok edit edit

i am not in favor of this build for many reasons

1) It has protectors strike which is usless in farming or pve
2) it does not use a zaelous hilt even though 1/2 of your skills require energy
3)no 2nd proffession skills

this is not "perfect" or "Ultimate" sorry

Well, the weapons and shield I use are not part of the build,they are just my favorite weapons to weild with this build...

Yeah there is no ultimate build..But I did emphasize that this was a very effective OFFENSIVE build to farm and pve with,and nothing else

"This is a primary Warrior build,no secondary......."

And protectors strike hits for over -70 ,90% of the time,so how is this not a good skill?

My energy is fine as 2 skills dont require energy and fill up quick adrenaline.

I made a mistake on my weapons,and fixed them above(I was going from memory)

....It works the best I have ever seen to farm,because you destroy everything in your path.Along with gladiator armor from droks,this is the best build I have ever used,or seen used to make easy of the enemy..thats all I wanted to say..Figured it would help...

You guys can critisize this build all you want,botton line.It works.

those weapons are bullshit

there is no 15% always unconditional
there is no -3 dmg all the time
there is no chance 9% (in stance ) <-- wtf?

emm i'll guess
you wanted to show off your "ultimate" build which you have "perfected" over time, so here we go i'll show off my uber build , o n my weapons arn't too good , i'll just make them up from what i think i know , o i hope all these mods exist O_O

first of all, thanks for sharing your build with us. this forum is here specifically for this purpose. it allows you to share builds that have worked for you and receive feedback from more experienced players. as you have received enough negativity, i will now offer you my honest criticism.

you mentioned that you use this for both solo farming and grouping with hench, so i will be reviewing a few of your skill choices from both perspectives.

dolyak signet - 50% effectiveness
solo - one of the best defensive buffs in the warrior arsenal. it provides unstrippable armor and prevents you from being knocked down.
group - unless you are in an experienced group that knows how to control aggro, this is one of the worst self-snare skills you can bring. especially with hench, mobs will run right by you and go for alesia or lina. if you activate this while they are being attacked, you are slowing yourself to a crawl while the mobs are running around. you will, in essence, be useless until it runs out.

gladiator's defense
solo - against melee mobs, this is one of the best elites you could have. it reduces damage by blocking attacks and also damages them in return. however, it stops there. against non-melee mobs, this elite is useless.
group - this is in the same boat as dolyak, but with less negative effects. unless you are controlling aggro, which you are not most times with hench, the skill is useless.

thrill of victory
solo/group - hmm... where to start with this. i can see this being viable in pvp, where you know roughly how much hp an opponent has, but in pve, it's harder to tell how much hp they really have. so, it's a hit or miss. the condition is too hard to control, and it will just be a waste of energy with no damage bonus.

protector's strike
solo - worst skill ever to bring in solo situations. most solo situations involve you standing and tanking. hence, the mobs attacking you won't be moving and this skill will be a waste.
group - i can see it being useful if the mobs are chasing after your allies.

in essence, a few of your skill choices are only effective some of the times. the build is decent and it obviously works for you, but it is hardly ultimate.

also, with regards to your attribute points, vinegrower already mentioned that you are only using 170 attributes. there are 2 additional quests that give 15 points each, for a total of 200.

and you need to clarify the stats of your equipment, or you will be flamed for it. there is no -2 dmg all the time.

He is missing 30 attribute points and doesn't even know what his weapons are even after he fixed them. Add to that the questionable mods that he uses on those weapons and a few questionable skills. That all makes me question the validity of his "Perfect" bulid claim.

All I have to say is you should not stick to one set build for all areas of the game. If I am farming certain monsters, I will switch up my gear and/or stats to my advantage. For example, when farming ettins I will switch to a weapon with an elemental mod because ettins have bonus armor against physical. In some builds, mainly riptose builds, I might not even use any points in my weapon mastery. So if you want to suggest a specific area that this build is "king" in, then suggest away, but there can be no ultimate warrior build when you are allowed to change skills/stats so easily.

Well ... as for the weapons I thought there was a %x Dmg all the time, but it would be like a -5 energy weapon instead.

There are tons of weapons with conditional always 15% -1health, or -5 energy, or -10 al, and from the very very early stages of the game there are some completely unconditional weapons, 15% always, no matter what. I have seen a couple with my very own eyes.


How did you get to sancho panza and not know that... =P
