Exactly, although I'd wager over the course of the run Cyclone does more total dmg output then the rest of the skills combined. I counted up in my one screenshot, one swipe of cyclone did a total of 389 dmg. For each cyclone you get one swipe of Cleave, Pen, Exec each, which won't come to anywhere near 389 total dmg. (that'd have to be an AVERAGE hit of 129 dmg each)
In my world, Cyclone IS used for damage, the adrenaline is just cake. Once you clear the mouth though..its primary use is adrenal gain.

.............. I just died in a FoW Beach run, and I believe I have found the reasoning behind it:
Is this new or have I just been lucky enough to never get interupted before?

They only use it when you have low health. I believe

Yep they've always used Savage Shot you must of left your Healing Sig too late.
And why do you always cover up your build?

I post on both this site and my guild site, and sadly, there are some little pricks in my guild who will only ever play with a build that is fed to them. I don't like giving them my builds because sadly, they're the type of kids who had their first character run right to Droks then power leveled. If they had played the game and I felt them worthy of soloing FoW, I'd give it too them. But I feel that some people don't deserve it and so I won't give it.
I can tell you my build if you want, lol, it's like Racthoh's build but with W/Me and no elite skills.

Reporting that since the last patch, ACSs will use Healing Spring even when you are engaged with them. I think sword builds just became markedly inferior to axe builds.

Physical Resistance... is your /Me skill? right?

Yes.
On a second note, the defense isn't the only thing I use it for. I use a Stance CCS and a 15% Stance Collector Sword, so with Phys Resistance that is [basicly] +15% always no conditons and +45/-2 always.

Hahahaha I just try to maximize the value of my assets whenever possible. XD And you're not the only one well off enough to not have to deal with trading with other players most of the time.

Just finished a run and had no problems with this "savage shot" issue.

Never had problems with Savage Shot either.. Except when trying to cast spells. They will try to interrupt those.
Also, I thought I'd post my reward so far from this run:
Not from one run though

You know, Anet should really nerf this before triple chop and cyclone / quivering strike makes this build 1000x too strong
tuna-fish_sushi
what is quivering strike is there something i am missing?
I run a simple and fast build
Cyclone axe, Penetrating blow, Exe strike, Cleave, Sprint, Shields up, Phys resis, Healing signet
15axe
13tactics (i think)
6 strength
rest into inspiration

Quivering strike = faction elite, +42 damage, 4 strikes of adren. If it is blocked you are dazed.

I doubt it'll be used with Triple Chop, then. BTW, is that 4 strikes to use or you gain four strikes when it hits?
tuna-fish_sushi
how do i get these faction skills?
Captain Arne Is PRO
If anyone is interested in trying this build, I have four +15% while in a stance Collector Swords I could give away. Gimme a PM on here including your IGN and I'll whisper you when I'm not busy. Don't need them wasting space anymore. -.-

It's a sword elite, not axe.

Quivering Blade is amazing, when i get enough faction i'm gonna unlock it and stab some fools with it. Very nice skill.
Raxxman
yeah exept my reading is quivering blade
no adrenal gain just highly spammable (4 strikes) and if you miss you get dazed
you're thinking dragon slash I believe

I use Axe now, lol. I was just using For Great Justice, Galrath, Final, WY! Dolyak, H Signet, PR, and Sprint.
Extremely shitty build but I explained why above, quoted by Pi Numurian.

great bunch of info here. I tried this and ran into one small snag.
YEA one LOL
getting to the cave.
I tried to follow the map on the early post and how the mobs move.
nice but seems that they are hearding me. one moves out of the way, I shift to run around and then the next patrol ends up in the only path that I have open.
OUCH
any pointers or video on how to get there?

its easy, even me, who has never been anywhere in the fow got my warrior to the cave and ranger to the forest today

ok found out my mistake.. I saw the big group on the way to the beach. And I went around the little mesa to the left...should have gone to the right.
I was expecting them to move they don't just run thru them.
Sorry for the post.

Before I finally figured out how to get to the cave I would get so frustrated...
One thing I cant stress enough is patience. After you kill the dryder right before you hit the beach you have to look around and see where all the skales spawned. Some of them are stationary and some some are not. Most of the time you should never agro any skales other than the first ones you encounter on your way down to the beach.

It is in my opinion important to note that you can run through any group of 3 skales and get to a point to rest and live. The problem only comes when you run into two or 3 groups of skales at the same time or even worse, consecutively.
I would say practice knowing when aggro breaks, outside of toa there are hexers, maybe try them. It is important to use healing signet, it is my best friend.

I have an idea that this can be done with a w/Ri and work even better!

The other annoying thing is catching some skales and a dryder or two at the same time. Because wastrels worry can really do some damage if you're just running away.

You shouldn't be hit more than once by it unless you get careless and run from the Skales into the Dryders. The first one will hit you if you used Sprint before aggroing the Dryder, but you'll usually be far enough out of Skale range to cancel the second with Phys Res and a Cyclone Axe handles the third and hopefully last.

This is not a cheat or exploit. You will not be banned from Arenanet for using this build. This build took me hours and days to just make this build. I still use this build everyday to farm for RARES and Gold. Look at the picture below and you will see me SOLOING Fissure.

Sadly, Thats proly a rip.. I should buy it just to see and then make a clame to paypal and get my money back :-p
Some people are sad but back to topic: The skale thing, it is the hardest part the run, it takes practice and skill, and not aggroing too many.. Congrats on 1000! |
