Celtic Heroes

Hi. Just wanted to know your opinion on these stats and skill points as I am planning on rearranging them soon. I tell myself that I am pretty good at rearranging stats and skills, but most of you guys have been playing a lot longer so I figured I would ask your opinion. Ok, here we go. (btw tried to upload photo of stats but couldn't;file to big just figured I'd let you know why everything is is print). Also keep in mind that I am a hybrid warrior.

Level 84 Warrior.

Strength: 160
Dex: 75
Focus: 85
Vit: 125

This translates into:

Health: 1385
Energy: 454
Attack: 915
Defense: 210
Damage: 283
Armour: 486

Skills:

Giant Swing: Maxed
Pummel: 16/20
Sweeping Blow: 15/20
Shield Bash: 17/20
Shatter: 12/20
Rupture: 1/20 (btw the reason I don't use this skill is because my blunt is not very good; I am trying to train it though).
Taunt: 1/20
Protective Stance: 1/20
Frenzy: 3/20
Bandage Wounds: 17/20
Recuperate: 1/20(dnt need)
Meditate: 1/20(dnt need)

Don't know if you guys need my gear to figure out what to suggest, so I'll give them anyway.

Meteoric Helm, glove, and greaves.
Warden weapon, breastplate, and shoes.
Mighty Shield of Crowns.
Golden Ammy of rejuvenation.
Lesser midsummer oak bracelet.
Blessing of Belenus.
Greater Brace of Embers.
Revenant Ring of Energisation.
Greater Ring of Shatter
Fabled Ring of Sweeping Blow
Grand Ring of Shield Bash.

Thanks for your help!

Not really a warrior guy but ALWAYS MAX SHATTER

okay lets start:
make str to 200 (with bonus) and all the rest points in vit.
get an golden blade offhand. for skills max shatter, pummel, double attack, proc stance. rest in bandage if you need but i would suggest you to get some sigils. for gear: as i said get a golden blade offhand and try to get full meteoric. also get a summer dmg charm and maybe a energy regen brace. elemental dmg braces dont help you so get either a wyrm brace or a physical dmg one. haste gloves would also be good (or at lvl 100 a haste ring). drop the sweeping blow and shield bash ring and get rings of the skills i suggested. this should make u a better warrior.

stats, all dex, to vit
foc, u dont need that much even if u dont have a single regen item, lower to 50-60 and put in str/vit

ur health should be higher for ur lvl since u prob dont have much lux as it seems
attack, max ur ability, it'll improve ur dmg and attack
energy, decent, good for ur lvl, still need to lower foc a bit
defence, i wouldnt waste pts on dex for that, only def form
dmg, pretty low for ur lvl, try getting better wep, axe recommended (rupture), and maybe some dmg gear

skills:

now here i must say u gotta improve

drop all the pts from sweeping blow and shield bash (and bandage if possible) and make it like that

shatter - maxed
rupture - maxed (usable with an axe, not just hammers)
double attack / pummel - maxed (for ur lvl, prob double attack)
proc stance- maxed
rest of pts in defensive formation


why dont i suggest u frenzy and both pummel and double? simple, u dont seem like a rich guy, a costly build isnt good for u, stick with that


gear :

try getting full met for buff (not including wep, maybe warden if u want)
try get dps offhand, shield isnt for lvling really
ammy is great, dont imrpove to heroic, save for other lux
kick the bracelets, get physical dmg bracelets (slash/pierce/crush) or stat bracelets (wyrm for ur lvl, str-vit will be great, another stat could be foc or dex, i think foc is better)
kick the energy ring when u get enough regen, 5 per tick not really worth it (i had both rings)
kick the fabled sweeping blow and grand shield bash, get maybe another shatter ring (grand or royal), rupture rings, and pummel/double if u want double, could get defensive form and proc stance but those are pretty rare (such as pummel)


Enjoy


Edit : i totally forgot, get haste, gloves or ring, ring recommended

Ok, I like ur stats suggestion. As for skills... The reason u dnt use rupture is the fact that neither my blunt nor axe abilities are good so i am not putting anything in them. As for getting rid of shield bash, maybe i will if i get a offhand. I can get rid of sweeping blow though. Are u sure about bandage wounds? I mostly go solo and it does help. Btw i forgot to mention, i have 45 health sigs and 25 energy sigs(not exact but estimate). Why u would say that the shield isn't doing much i dnt know. It has 15 health regen. About the gloves of haste i had them but am letting a friend use them. I dnt really need them.
When u say expensive build what do u mean? Also did u not mention giant swing because u dnt think its worth it or because it is fine the way i have it? I think thats it. If i think of any more rants i will post them lol

The reason why nobody uses giant swing is because its damage increases with level, same with sweeping blow. Giant swing also uses way too much energy, than its worth, ive been told this alot. Thats why pummel is prefered by almost everybody. Just cause you dont put points in it doesnt mean it gives bad damage, its nice to have it around while other skills are regenerating.

You will get mix opinions on builds a lot picking one u like is ur choice. I personally dont like pummel for an average build with average gear it really doesnt do much damage while giant swing increases with ur weapons damage. Since warriors now have shatter the casting speed and cool down speed doesnt make to much of a difference as long as ur not using slow 2 handed weapons. By this i mean no matter what skill u choose pummel or giant swing ur only going to get one cast off during shatter so i prefer the higher damage one which for me is giant swing.

Also if ur using haste elixs or even just gloves or ring the casting speed between pummel and giant swing isnt even that big of a difference the main difference between them is the cool down speed and the energy cost. While giant swing is slower on the recharge speed it will be ready every time u are going to be using shatter as long as u always use the same pattern. This means u cast shatter first then giant swing if u do this it will be ready next shatter and u can repeat this pattern the whole fight.

I prefer giant swing because mine always hits higher then my pummel usually right around 3k if cast during shatter while pummel usually hits around 2k this is with a 40 giant swing and a 45 pummel. Since both take up about the same casting speed and u pretty much cast them the same number of times during a fight if u only cast during shatter giant swing for me gives more dps. By same number of times i mean that even though pummel may be ready before shatter is its usually better to wait till u cast shatter first to get the most damage from pummel but by doing this it also means giant swing is ready by this time so ur not casting more pummels then u would giant swing casts.

For me when i train i cast shatter, double attack, and giant swing in that order by the time shatter is recharged and casted double attack is ready again by the time i cast double attack giant swing is already being casted. This leaves no wasted time between casts and i get more damage then i would if i used pummel. When i did pummel instead it was the same thing shatter, double attack, and pummel then recast them in the same order ultimately losing dps.

So for my personally opinion if u can handle the energy cost of giant swing and ur using a decent speed one handed weapon giant swing is better unless ur using a bunch of pummel gear that boosts only pummel. Again this changes dependinf on ur gear but i found pummel especially at low lvls to be a waste and only became decent when u add in pummel gear.

Ok I've looked at some off hand weapons and im going to save up for them. I am already over one-third if the way there since i was saving for the heroic ammy. Which should i save for: golden blade of ice/fire/magic or golden trident of ice/fire/magic? Then if u would tell me which I should get: the fire, the ice, or the magic? Thx again.

Depends do u need regen or dmg? Personally blades arent really for warriors so i would stick with trident but if u need more dmg get the blade

blades arent rly for warriors???? lol
