Axe: The role of the axe is damage/area of effect and has the highest sustained damage available to the warrior.
Been rolling with axe/mace since 3 day headstart. I personally hate that we can cancel the third swing, gets annoying even if it does let you hit a lil bit faster.
I’ve personally ran into a couple of cases where my regen has slowed down but I haven’t seen it completely stop. Usually blame it on adrenaline regen but if thats not the case, it needs to be looked into o.o;
Looking for a good set too. Been playing around with Superior runes of the monk, gives healing power that help with my regen – has a 5% chance to heal you when something hits you – aegis is fun to play with too but not terribly useful because of the delay on activation and 90 second cooldown
Runes
Think I might switch to Soldier since I shout alot, don’t wanna trash 750 AC-tears though v_v
I use mace offhand just because I like the aoe knockdown but I’m thinking of switching to warhorn and traiting it to remove conditions. 50% fumble is nice too, it can knock damage down to 75% or less.
just a note- warhorns #5 skill can aggro everthing 600 meters(?) around you including the passive mobs I believe
Mainly for PvE/dungeons , only time I go to WvW is for monthly achievements and hopefully that gets moved to PvP monthlies x.x;
(</3 PvP and glad they started separating PvP and PvE)
Based around taking damage and buffing, has a decent amount of crit to make the Sigils of water and purity tick more often. Ax has good damage and mace has cc when you need it.
Regen: 600-1250 per second(incongruity made by adrenaline regen)
Runes/sigils can also heal but I lose track of the numbers with the regens ticking away
Gear:
full “Knights” with Superior Runes of the Monk(aegis is useful at times but the delay on activation can kill you if you rely on it, might switch out 2 of them for water for more boon duration)
Trinkets:
Healing/precision/vitality besides the back piece
Main weakness atm is conditions, they go through armor and poison kills the regen. I have “SIO” but it likes to remove cripple before anything that could hurt me >.>
Been using variants of this since I started. How do the stats look? Been trying to see how good my damage is but I can’t really tell, been hitting 1000s(per hit) in Orr and around 500s in AC.
Feel free to criticize my build, its the only way to make it better. ^^;
Yep, even the “stability” is gives isn’t great. 3 seconds and thats it~
other than rezzing(if it works) and small amount of stability it gives, its not any better than the Signet sadly
Use the signet and then shout> infinite charging animation.
Never noticed the normal animation since I don’t pay attention to it in the middle of a fight o.o;
More classes that can use axe ? Like..a thief with axes ? No thanks..a mesmer with axes ? Ehm…Wich class would you even like to see with axes ? Imo melee weapons should stay for melee classes only and they should Fit the class,hence we dont see warriors running around with double daggers like a thief…same as axes are for warriors only,period.Talking bout axes…We need a 2h Axe with a new skillset..
I was mainly hoping for more classes not existing ones, but that is in the future so I hid it in a spoiler o.o;(and axes aren’t warrior only, rangers and necros can use em to, just not in the same fashion)
Please stick to the main part of this post though.
I do not think it is a bug but it wasn’t properly announced either (I believe) but could you change triple chop back to the way that it was. I would rather has an un-interuptable skill than hear the jingle of interrupting it EVERY SECOND -_-;
Not only does it annoy me but it takes away some damage since triple chop does more damage than the first two skills.
p.s.~ more classes that can use ax as a melee weapon please, lil bit dissapointed to see only one class that can use it as a melee weapon v_v
The way I usually do it for PVE is find a map about your level or maybe a bit below, and just try to complete the map and do any DEs you see. Having the objective to work on helps me forget to look at the exp bar. Can usually get 3-5 levels from completing a map. Many maps can be completed in a few hours, or one nights worth of gameplay.
That is what I do but that is not my question o.o;
and the only sort of stable source I’ve found so far is circle farming in WvW, I don’t really like it though. It is fun to sabotage enemies like that some of the time but not for hours at a time (not to mention zerging/getting zerged x.x)-
Btw, the apple and wrench are both called nourishment I believe.
and stable=“I know there is xp where I’m goin.” in a sense not hoping for events. Terrible luck running in to them most of the time.
I’ve started a couple alts now that my main character is level 80 and since I’m incredibly unlucky with finding events that I can participate in, I was wondering if there was a source of stable xp. I know there is crafting but that is resource heavy and there is hearts to complete but those are one time only. Dailies are a good source of xp but only for about 10 minutes and then you complete it.
This being said after I run around a map for 20 min trying to find an event, I found a couple like the “longhorn shanks” and “Frozen wolf master” but they were dead before i could get to them (x.x) and then I find the “frozen maw” event up and then I get dc’d and lose almost a levels worth of xp form the 4(?) events that are there. . . v_v
It wasn’t mentioned in the patch noted but this skill can be interrupted now. Its a given that is should be able to be interrupted since is a “channeled” skill but for some(me atleast) that spam the 1 key to attack, it sucks. We hit the first 2 attacks fine then the first chop of the third(which has the highest damage) and we get that lovely jingle sound every 2 seconds. x.x
I want triple chop to be changed back to where its not intterupt-able. Its only about a one second channel, won’t hurt anything if its back.
So you know,,,you can kite and continue to damage them…so no need to try to be a tank in a game that has no tank role.
I know but I still only move when I need too. . .
Would rather die in combat that run like a panzy
All jokes aside, this is a game that lets you play how you want and I prefer to be a meatshield for my crew, kiting seems to make the ai switch targets faster wich is something I do not like o.o
I’m not the best of tanks but I can take a lot of damage and still have decent hits(imo, no one ever told me if it is good or not).
In dungeons and pve I think I was hitting 500-1500 per hit depending on my might stack/banner I have on atm. That is axe damage though, its not the highest but it hits fast. Build
I’m currently saving all my keys until after the Halloween update to try and get the weapon skins. (Chainsaws ftw)
One of the reasons I posted this was because of that, I got a single key from a map completion that I’m holding onto at the moment. Its sad that I’m only gonna get 1 chance to get one of those (most likely) rare skins v_v
I don’t mind buying cosmetic stuff to support a company but things like this annoy me. And yes most in the stuff in the boxes are not great but they added new stuff to them like a permanent trader and some other permanent stuff I believe. In my first box I got a permanent tonic, its pretty fun even though it only turns me into furniture >.<
Right now I have this which is nice but I am looking for something like this
or this
Love plate armor but there doesn’t seem to be much that I can find :x
Soon to get 100+ black lion chest on my account and I’m sure people have more so how bout a crafting recipe to make lock picks, bandits drop broken ones all the time. We could use like 50+ of those to make a single lock pick. Not sure what crafting proffesion it could go with but we could also make it in the mystic forge or have a “bandit” merchant hidden away somewhere that can fix them.(Last option would be a good “Once Daily” quest)
I know we can get keys from daily achievements(I think, not sure :x) and map completion as well as some of the story quest but the last time I got a key was like a month ago now, at least on my main character. Would like some “reliable” way to get keys without paying for them.
Yes warrior is more efficient at melee but range is still an option. Its single target, with the exception of piercing shots, but it can dish out some serious damage.
Currently trying to work out an all ranged/support warrior, its pretty fun
-Axe/mace build with hyper-regen(5 counting food, 6 with regen booster)
-More on the defensive side but can still dish out damage
-Main drawback is Condition removal(can be remedied by replacing runes with “Soldier” or the Dolyak signet with Signet of Stanima.)
-Good for keeping permanent fury might and swiftness
-20 sec AoE KD on mace can save you a couple seconds of pain if you need to regen
-Sword/horn mainly for getting around but the bleeds/cripple/weakness(and vigor) can help alot, can also switch it out for a rifle or bow
~f2-f6 can be banner comands
~push banner button again to place it on the ground
~I can see this having drawbacks to keep it balanced though, maybe -15% speed while it is “equiped” or something like that
~can only “equip” 1 banner max
They’re giving you a bad name by using a decent DPS technique? What?
I think you’re giving a bad name to yourself being an elitist.
Think hes talking about the people that “only” use that. It is a good technique but easy to dodge if you know what to look for.
I’d say warrior is good for damage and guardian is good at support but you can build them however you like, Last thing is, In WvW ranged is usualy better that melee, might want to keep that in mind,
I also have a regen build with Knights armor but has anyone tried a clerics set though? I’ve heard regens isn’t affected by heal power but doesn’t hurt to test.
I built myself as a tank(toughness,vitality and all that good stuff) and even with 5 regens I still cant take a ton of hits but I’ve outlasted most of the guardians I’ve run with. Other than tanking I have “FGJ” on autocast and I put my banners out. Atm I have banner regen trait but if another class I’m with has regens i can switch it out for shouts heal since i have “FGJ” and “SIO” whenever I get 2 or more conditions.
I’m just used to the melee aoe on my warrior so its kind of annoying to kill stuff one at a time x.x
yeh that makes it sound bad but still would like it in sPvP. Less chaotic and less likely to get ganged up on +it gives people reasons to go sPvP if your are looking for benefits out of the mist(not sure if there is any benefits outside or not, is there any?)
Those events don’t seem to last that long anymore, people tell every1 and they neighbor and it goes down rather quickly, but the temple events in Orr can take ages sometimes
~
~don’t see how click to move would help much in a fast paced game like this but i guess some people could do it o.o;
Mainly talking about necro and pve, sucks to take on multiple mobs on at once with dagger
yes people can cheat and get them that way but I would like some other way than WvW where its incositent on how many you get and i prefer to go solo and in spvp worst it can get is 1v5 not like 1v20+ in wvw
grinding fast events can get you more loot, money and karma even if there is a chest at the end of a 10+ min long event
~point taken
its an option for lazy people
do you want to buy one for me? and the main point about that was mouse controls the camera w/o clicking
Make PvE harder or dungeons easier(Some of the champions in PvE can’t even hit as hard as the silver rings)
Easy Aoe~ cast ground targeted aoes on target. If target is not in range, fire at max range. Makes things easier to dodge(if you keep moving) but faster casting
Vindictus Controls(for lack of a better name)~camera locked onto the mouse and press [Ctrl] to use the mouse. While in mouse mode the left/right mouse buttons can be used as skill keys.
