i dont think this skill is too bad if you use the energy before it reaches the maximum it gains a total of 45 energy althoucgh if you use it for spells you can realy only get about 30-36 but it still is the most powerful energy gain skill

warriors have energy attacks, some of which are pretty hot. this gives you the endurance, ahem, to use such skills. sucky it is not.

For example, Cyclone Axe and Warrior's Endurance would fill your bar (or nearly) in one go if you're surrounded. Totally worth my elite slot.

The unfortunate part is that it is a stance, and with a 30 second recharge it's hard to find a use for it. In a PvE situation, prehaps, but in PvP you're going to need sprint and/or frenzy. Also given that Axe is the prefered weapon of PvPers (at least it seems that way), Eviscerate is the way to go.

It would be nice, if like Warrior's Cunning, Warrior's Endurance were a skill.

As it were-
Spirit Shackles, blindness, running, Wild Blow, and snares absolutely castrate Warrior's Endurance warriors

While up, for a pure warrior, Warrior's Endurance means the ability to spam energy-using attacks. With my last run through the arenas with it, I used a Sword warrior with Galrath Slash, Pure Strike, Power Attack, Seeking Blade, and Wild Blow as my attacks, and almost every swing was an attack skill dealing additional damage, pushing every attack to about 50-90 damage on a standard armored foe, often up to 100 on Galrath Slash.

However, without IAS, it's nowhere near as impressive as it might otherwise be. With the 50% damage boost through IAS alone, the damage would already be comparable without use of an elite slot.

As an energy engine to fuel other class skills, in most cases, this is impractical and unuseful. The loss of additional ranks in an attribute leads to rather poor damage, and the high casting times + aftercast of spells works against Warrior's Endurance.

My most successful arena usage of the Warrior's Endurance warrior have been with a PbAoE fire ele (Flame Burst+Conjure Flame) and a Vampiric+Plauge Touch necromancer. Every 4-5 attacks followed up by the primary spell/skill, and occasional uses of the others when necessary.

All-in-all, this is a rather mediocre elite, and will most likely remain so until de-stanced. Relying on allies to cast Windborne Speed, use Charge, or snare the enemies for you is a bit much (Well, Hamstring is mostly fine if you're in the arenas, but condition removal renders it totally useless.), and even if that happens, without IAS, your damage is still not anything amazing.

de-stancing Warriors Endurance might be a bit too overpowered, because you can then run defensive stances like shield stance, dolyak signet, warriors endurance, while spamming nrg based attacks will make you VERY hard to take down.

anyway warriors endurance is a good elite, the recent buff increasing the amount of nrg it caps at is great, roughtly at 16 str gives you 26 nrg, thats perfect for warriors using gladiators armor, and a +1 bonus helmet, which gives 26 nrg, anyway i run the following:

Warriors Endurance(e)
Power Attack
Desperation Blow
Thrill of Victory

the last 2 are tactic based attacks, but i'm spamming them which give a consistant 70-90 dmg each attack.

I made an amazing spinal shivers build out of this. For the entire duration of warriors endurance they are open to interupts.

It still does pretty much suck in pvp though.

Energy attacks = zealous haft, at least in my eyes.

If you de-stance Warrior's Endurance (make it a skill or a shout), you'd have to tone it down a bit. Maybe give it a larger recharge time? If you're running energy attacks, it's only useful to set up for a killing blow, not like Battle Rage, where you could keep it running constantly.

i like battle rage more and combine with counter blow to royally screw up warrios (the do not get to atack) but it will probably have it's uses when factions comes out and we get new skills to play with

this elite goes well with assassins who attack constantly and do need energy. im playing around with a stance assassin right now and it seems to be promising.

But without points in Strength, it'd be an extremely ineffective enrgy engine. Unless you mean to say you're using a W/A with Assassin skills?

the build i have is near perfect which is why i hav replyed to some noobish claims of this being the worst skill fool whens obvisouly it pwns best. n hamstring is perfetic tooo long to recharge n like u say can b rendered useless
n if a monk decides to run, energy based skills recharge wer as adrenaline isnt unless being attack by a mob of iway therefor if a monk runs around wit guardian on him, the time i come to hit i will always ignore that using anti blocking skills(seeking, pure) n in gvg monks r usually killed by team work of attack, sinc attack so the monks have no time to reply which brings up the problem of not attacking as fast as u wud perhaps like to which is the onli downside and + ofc no self healing n yeah blindness sux, thats the biggest killer + ofc lag n wild blow castrates this build yeah, but why the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO is a war gonna attack another war jus cuz hes got warriors endurance n + u guys think it sux, mhmmm maybe i shud of kept my mouth shut so no1 ses this build

First of all, this thread is over a year old, and has been bumped twice!? Lol?

Anyway, I'd rather have a damage elite than an energy management skill. I think it's better to sacrifice my weapon hilt for a zealous then my damage elite.
