How viable is this? Just an idea (since sword warrior's have crappy energy-requiring skills that need to be flourished).

Not too bad... except I ain't exactly too sure about your elite. If you're the only tank on your team and nobodies in a aggro spree (OMG HENCHIES) then bonettis should be enough to keep your energy at a decent rate. A few things i'd change would be to replace Wild Blow with Galrath that way you're not completely energy-reliant for your offense (Ether seals could be annoying in RoF). As for the Elite, Flourish obviously would go well with your energy-offense theme, or warriors endurance.

Try to play around with some skills in the illusion area.

Illusion of Weakness + Frag + Flourish.

5 degen + 3 degen from bleeding (sever aretery),

Then flourish can recharge galrath + final. Once you get near the RoF missions, then switch to axe, and bring along deadly riposte, because some things do bleed, but not much, and its just a nice skill to have. Deep wound + cripple + weakness with frag on is nice extra damage. Flourish will help with energy problems.

Flourish recharges Adrenaline skills?

Quote:

Oh, no idea. Never used flourish in my life. Just read the description and it said it recharges attack skills, so i assumed the adrenaline skills with "sword attack" would count.

Warriors endurance then.
