So today my friend asked me if he could borrow my Gladiators Bracelet of Swords to try and beat me for Giant Swing skills hit on Arawn. Well he succeeded and produced around a high 1700 skills hit. Note this is using a frozen sword which is in fact weaker compared to two other people who used an obsidian (pike?) on the server and wrecked in skills hit.
Anyways we were wondering about stats and skills and got to talking about frenzy. He has a Barbarians Bracelet of Strength which grants a +5 frenzy bonus. He cast it and noticed that his damage went up around 16. So I was like ummm if thats at only 5 what could 35 do? So I alted and maxed frenzy and borrowed his ES and bracelet.
Items equipped:
Greater ES BP
Greater ES Pants
Greater ES Bracelet
Greater ES Helm
Frozen Boots
Frozen Gloves
Frozen Sword
Golden Blade of Ice
Gladiators Bracelet of Swords - +5 Giant Swing, 75 Str, 250 Sword
Barbarians Bracelet of Strength - + 5 Frenzy, 75 Str, 250 Meele Combat
Right away I hit in the 1700s, beating my old 1660 and that was using a diamond spear (10 additional pierce) and other BETTER items another friend loaned me. I was like dangggg this could help dps warriors like crazy. So I got a rebirth and completely changed my stats because my str was low. New stats = 450 str, 15 Dex, 15 Focus, 200 Vit... unfortunately I didn't get to test then because he was called off to level and I also want to get his bracelet paired with my other friends equipment to try and reach max potential.
CONCLUSION
Frenzy may be the new sleeper skill
Pros: Increased Damage by 52 at 30/30
Cons: With new low dex stats my defense is now negative meaning I will ALWAYS be hit but my attack is super high meaning I will hit a ton more.
Would love feedback and don't say stuff about being a tank... Been there done that...No

#2Why not use heroic haste gloves and heroic ammy so u can regen for your skills?
Re: Thought on SUPER DPS Build
#3I would use haste gloves normally and for leveling a hero ammy but for testing the full use of frenzy I needed to compare with equal original damage and I had used the es ammy to try for highest skill originally.

Re: Thought on SUPER DPS Build
#5Not really worth casting frenzy , it's only 52 damage added and doesn't really make a difference in auto attack.
Re: Thought on SUPER DPS Build
#6What ru talkin about? It has a very fast cool down and 52 is like a godly agg dmg ring or about the amount of dmg a medium str plate gets from a bloodlust

#7Well it's only like 20 seconds , I tried it before at 25/25 and didn't see a difference.
Sure it has fast cool down but too short duration to be used imo. And it lowers attack accuracy which makes you miss more so not worth using.

Re: Thought on SUPER DPS Build
#8It lowers attack accuracy? Read the description of frenzy and then read what the attack stat represents. By the way I added 300 damage to my best skill hit using a 35/30 frenzy so don't say it doesn't works. The questions is: is it worth the points? Because it does help with dmg

#9Nvm , thought it lowered attack but it was defence and armor
If it works for you then use it
I don't like that move since it too short and not worth the loss imo even if your dps warrior

Re: Thought on SUPER DPS Build
#10I hear you, but I think it can be a used and a skill to put points in. It's true it works best with high strength to make it more effective. It also works better with a golden venom dagger adding 66 extra damage at 30/30 compared to the ice blade's 55 which includes a 75 strength bonus.
The only reason I even bother with frenzy is that where else to put the points?
- Maxed Giants Swing (Absolutely needed as DPS)
- Maxed Pummel (Quick cooldown, quick cast hits a little higher then melee)
- Maxed Protective Stance (By far best skill of warriors... in my opinion
)
This leaves 45 points for me at my level so what skills now?
- Sweeping Blow? (Adding points to it increases damage a little and it doesn't even do as much dmg as Giant and costs more eng and is so unreliable)
- Shield Bash? (Why would I be using a shield as a DPS)
- Enduring Guard? (oh you mean the one that lasts a couple of seconds, results in 2 evades and takes a huge cooldown time? Thought so)
- Taunt? (Will put 15 points in because its effective if you are taking damage for group leveling and for lesser bosses)
- Warcry (If you aren't a tank why use?)
These are my views on warrior skills. Warriors are not there just to be tanks. That's not what it was even like in those times
. And another point is why would the developers put a skill like frenzy in there if they meant for warriors just to be tanks. So people out there please stop yelling at us to be tanks, tanking is so boring. With a skill like frenzy DPSing can be fun ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Remember that this post is to offer my thoughts on a super dps build for warrior with focus on frenzy bonuses. Feel free to correct me... Feel free to post ideas.
