Strictly PvE W/Ele for Shiverpeaks

Alright, so when I first got to War Camp, I still was a warrior/monk. After awhile, I started getting into groups with very good monks and decided to focus on damage. However, I still blame myself for dying, because hey, it was me who's in the center of attention and I wasn't wise enough to run back.

Well, here it is for PvE in groups with more than 4 people. Feed back is appreciated

Galrath Slash, Finatl Thrust, Bonetti's Defense, Warrior's Endurance(E), Flame Burst, Fire Storm, Glyph of lesser Energy, and Conjure Flame.


What I had originally was Savage Slash instead of flame burst.

it sounds a lot like my conjure flame sword build. i'm happy to see other people are experimenting with w/e skills too.

my suggestions are to swap the following:
fire storm -> inferno
the 4 sec cast time of fire storm sucks. that's what the nukers are for. inferno works a lot like flame burst, where you can quickly do some aoe damage. it does more damage than flame burst, but has a smaller radius.

glyph of lesser energy -> glyph of elemental power
you really only need energy for your two fire nukes during battle, so i don't see energy as being much of a problem. cast this right before casting conjure flame. i would much rather have the extra constant damage than save energy.

warrior's endurance -> hundred blades
this one is debatable. if you're really having trouble with energy, then keep warrior's endurance. however, that's what bonetti's is for. go with 100 blades for more damage output, especially with conjure flame on.

also, keep in mind that conjure flame is only useful about half of the time in sorrow's furnace. there are too many enchant removals going around.

edit:
also, i would suggest keeping savage slash in there. maybe take out one of the fire nukes or sword attacks. interrupts are good to have.

well, I don't think fire storm is such a good idea on Warrior. Bring "shield's up" instead, it's gonna help against those rangers.

You can also swap Flame Burst with Lava Font: 5 less energy, 1 sec less recharge and more damage, only it has 2secs casting time, but hey you are using Fire Storm which is 4 secs.

In PvE, I'd HIGHLY suggest looking at the riposte set of skills in tactics. They're extra blocks vs. melee [and you're the tank so there's a LOT of melee on your ass I'm sure] and one of them is adrenal based so it's hot.

For your Elite, go Gladiator's Defense. Bonetti's can be used for your energy needs. No need for Warrior's Endurance unless you're spamming like a madman, which I doubt since you are a warrior. Here's my take on a high hp PvE Fire Fencer...

10+1+1 Swordsmanship
9+1 Tactics
7+1 Strength
10 Fire Magic

Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Bonetti's Defense
Gladiator's Defense {E}
Shield Stance
Immolate
Conjure Flame
Res Sig / Watch Yourself / Healing Sig

That last slot is quite versatile as you really won't be needing anything specific. I personally would bring healing sig if my monk sucks, Watch Yourself! if my team is squishy, and res sig for when I'm the last one standing.

Immolate is fitting for a warrior with good energy management. [in PvE, Bonetti's is king @ 9s. for 10 tactics]
