Thanks for sharing the build and the video. I’d never tried celestial on a warrior before, but decided to have a go at it after watching you playing it. I slightly changed your build, integrating my personal preferences, favoring critical chance, mobility and retaliation over raw damage.
I have to say I did not expect such a good result. Usually, I play full berserker, and the loss of damage was less than expected, all the more that condition damage puts some interesting additional pressure. On the other hand, I was surprised at the increased tankiness, to the point of thinking during the games that it was a bit unfair (having my berserker game play in mind!). In the end, I did fine in my duels, managed to win a 1v2 (admittedly in an ugly way since both kills were made being down), and could tank reasonably well on points.
@Elegie You’re missing out on alot of mightstacking with that setup, which will boost your damage way more than the extra crit chance. Inteligence on Axe is all the crit you need.
I don’t know if switching from Runes of Strength to Runes to the Eagle makes me miss that much of might stacking, but it’s true that I probably value critical chance too much. I’ll try your version tonight, with that bloody 25% critical chance that makes my spine shiver in fear
Cheers.
EDIT: Tested, and approved! Very enjoyable to play, resistant and lethal. Won against 2 thieves on a point, was pretty happy there. Thanks all for sharing your ideas, I can only encourage other readers to try it out too.
1. Sigil of force is far sub pare to many other sigils nowadays – best choice imo is leeching (Air/Fire would steal 1 of the 3 intelligence sig stack and will go off once in 10sec anyhow)
2. For a not pure zerk build spiked armor >> Defy pain. Endure pain is a strong trait sometimes but that passive proc on 25% is too random imo.
3. Signet of stamina is always nice to have but from my experience IC handles most of the conds in this build (u can c vaans nvr activate it either) so if its only for the slightly more dodges I find that signet of strength is much better for this build – u only got 1800 power (1700 on vaans version).
4. oh and since you will rarely activate signet of strength you can pass “signet mastery” for warrior’s sprint which helps a lot with the lack of mobility of this build. (I think it makes evis jump further too, when w/o swiftness of course)
It’s all been said b4 on “zone” thread about this if you want more info. Anyhow:
