R/W <-- does it look good? (PvP)

this is a PvP build

i am aiming for a sort of.. anti w/mo build.. to take advantage with using stances and other degen effects while avoiding getting hit

hey thanks for ur time and ive been running into a few troubles with me R/W and and am tempted to make a W/R bcuz ppl think they are better.. yet i do not see how.. anyways this is what im running

10 swordmanship
10 tactics
12 expertise (8 + 1 + 3)
10 wilderness survival (8 + 2)

1. apply poison
2. sever artery
3. gash
4. hamstring
5. throw dirt
6. whirling defense
7. gladiators defense
8. troll unguent

right now in terms of weapons im usin a collector longsword with +stance dmg and i added a psn add on and am still iso a +30 hilt,druids set and using collector shield with mods while in stance

ive been told to throw in res signet by pretty much everyone but i dont know what to take out for it.. or is res signet needed? suggestions would be great thx.

What are you trying to do w/ your build, Tank, DPS, or what? ANd also where are you PVPing at arenas, tombs, or GVG.

u shuld be w/r rather than r/w if u want anti war to take advantage of strength att.

pippin.. i have it in bold what im lookin for and for more clarification DPS and evasion

w/r = no expertise tho and whirling comes in handy and same with throw dirt and also lowering the cost of spells is useful n im not tryin 2 pack a punch so much as i am trying to return the dmg and degen them

My current and favorite R/W build is this:

Sword 10
Tactics 9
Expertise 7 +2rune +1mask
Wilderness 10 +1rune

Apply Poison
Sever Artery
Final Thrust
Hamstring
Savage Slash
Gladiator's Defense
Trolls Unguent
Res signet

If you dont want the res signet I'd swap it for Lightning Reflexes for the attack speed bonus OR distracting blow to keep that healing hands or vigorous spirit off them.

Also a Ranger/Mo works very well along the same lines but have 2 defenses and vigorous spirit and live vicariously on your self with serpents and either apply poison or ignite arrows and quickshot and hunters shot you can just out live him in alot of cases

My favorite R/W build

12 Axe
9 Expertise
9 Wildrness
4 Beast ( + 1 mask)

Apply Poison
Cyclone axe
Eviscerate(E)
Tigers Fury
Throw Dirt
Storm Chaser
Rez Sig
Troll

Start by casting apply poison. Then Troll, Then rush in with storm chaser. When you see a few bunch up, use Cyclone to disperse the poison on mutiple targets. Keep cycling Tigers fury and Eviscerate when it is available. If a warrior decides to target you, Throw dirt, Troll and posion attack him.
Most people ignore the ranger and since expertise > Strength due to the energy needed to run this build then R/w > W/r for an apply poison build.

Degeneration is dps, but dps isn't degeneration. Take care in wording your requests. I think you'll like using winter with greater conflagaration and drydar's defences, providing your party allows them; the combo make you a better tank than warrior/monks. Since axes are primarily for dps, they'd be a good choice for you. However, considering using tiger's fury with cleave and swift axe, penetrating attack, or both for the emphasis on dps. Eviscerate is more of a spike.

you should consider taking care into thinking about what you posted, greater conflag is an elite and so is cleave so how would that even be possible?

The first part dealt with tanking, where as the second part dealt with dps... I don't think it was intended for you to try and use everything listed at once.

Your build doesn't have a spike to conclude the damage dealt from your degen, so do you just plan on wearing everyone down and letting someone else finish the job?

Where are you going to be playing this? For arena, I'd take self heals, for Tombs or GvG more damage would be nice.
