These r the ways to lvlup & complete the game with having least no. of deaths

4th: Equipment Build up: To build ur warrior character the powerful, u need these type of gears
Weapon: Always use epic weapons till ur lvl25, then u can legendary weapon (like: captain axe, Storm sword, etc)
PS: Use weapons with lot of STR
Helm & Armor: Always use Epic weapon till lvl25, then u can use legendary armors
PS: Use Helm having '......of will or ......of grace'
PS: Use armor having '......of will or ......of grace'
Accessories: Use accessories having Lot strength & damage, it can be epic or legendary
Pets: Take Guapo as Starter pet, then use stronger pet like ribbit, Loki, snaggletooth, etc(pets having lot of STR damage bonus or both)

5th: How to kill bosses in Arlor: This guide will show u the strategies against bosses of Arlor:
1) Backenridge Forest: Very Easy, just kill him
2) Backenridge Aqueducts: Very Easy, just kill him
3) Backenridge Village:
i) Jarl: Kill him, just watch out from his charged blow
ii) Thunk-Eye: Kill him as fast as u can, watch out from his Fire Arrow
4) Backenridge Gold Mine: Run around in circle near the portal to avoid his attack. Don't attack until he says I'm exhausted' or 'I need rest'... At 1st he uses berserker buff, after some sec. his buff vanishes, then u should attack before he uses his berserker buff again, if he uses buff again, repeat the steps
5) Ydra Outskirts: Stahl: Very easy to kill, to get achievement don't step on poison while killing him
6) Rooks hideout: Mother: Very easy to kill, watch out from her vicious charged bite
7) Ydra Forest: There r 2 bosses together: Kill the Lady boss 1st, then the troll boss, but watch out from troll hammer swing
8) Rooks Nest: Bael, the most powerful boss among lvl16 players, to kill him, u need lots of pots & very good party members as he will call lots of reinforcements including 2 master assassin, & also watch out from Master Assassin & Bael's dispersed hell attack. It will be a very hard fight so be careful
9) Dead City Outskirts: Ann: She is very lethal, but have very low hp, kill her as fast as u can & & use HoR for healing
10) Dead City: A troll boss: Unlike the other troll boss, this is sure an ultimate troll.boss as ever(at ur lvl) u need more than enough attack & heal & defence to defeat him, Dodge his charged poison blow & from poison swing cut & don't step on poison, or ask help from high lvl players
11) Arcanum Grounds: i) Main map: 2 boss will be there, a simple mage, only dodge his charged attack & kill him before he calls for exploding pumpkins, 2nd Boss, Captain Rutger: be very careful, his normal attacks r very strong & he uses illusions to make copies of him todo more damage, to kill him, avoid running around in circle, use lots of pots, shield, & stay close to himfor counter attack
ii) Mini map: Lost mage mines(still important) Antee: very easy to kill, nothing to wry
12) Arcanum Castle: Glob: Still very hard, watch out from him demon bite attack, & kill his reinforcements 1st, stay focused when he uses trembling ground to stun for 1-3 sec
13) Tower of Madrom: Lord Madrom: The last boss of Dead city expansion: he have ultra high attack, but very easy to kill till half of his health(just stay say from his firestorm) but then comes trouble, he calls to knockback mages, who will inflict damage & knocks back, to overcome this, stay very close to the mages, kill them 1st, & run around them while killing mages to minimize lord madrom's attacks, use hp aswell as mp pots

More info will be updated later on......

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THIS THREAD!!

hmm good for rookies. bt i dnt think one should remove mana gain ability from hammer skill. it is useful now as venge blood is nerfed.
skyward smash should b max.

idk y u put snare in WM. not useful if u dnt do ctf or pvp

ok that is ridiculous to remove taunt effect from HoR. as a warrior one should pull aggro that.

overall average build.

my build is:
SS (4) (biggr radius is removed)
WM (4) (snare is removed
VB (5)
HoR (5)
might (5)
int (3)
AT (4) (chain bait is removed) (only for boss fight nd elite boss)

[Taejo]

Very nice guide. More of a PvE grinding/PvP specific build, however. I can't say it's great advise for being a pure tank in end-game content; especially with removing taunt from some of the skill sets.

windmill has taunts too, thats the reason why i dont use horn taunt.
but again having more than one taunt is better.

if i go with windmill ill be

sky 3/5
windmill 5/5
vengefull max
horn 3/5( duration and shield)

str 5/5
dmg 4/5
dex 5/5

this is pvp and pve build. windmill is my main taunting skill.

[Daddyblu]

LOL this build is for what? lol! this is for pve but not the best build.

hmmm bt i dnt think it is good at pvp.
u dnt hav CS or AT to feeble opponent.
UR build is best at haunlet nd other tomb equivalent runs.

[JaytB]

No feeble, only 1 taunt and only a self-buff in a warrior build is totally unfit to run elites and tank properly.

I can only speak from my own experience when saying I wouldn't want to have a tank build like this running elites with me.

1) The best builds are different for leveling, elite, and PvP. This one is a decent all-purpose build.

2) Initial levels are best done solo. Otherwise, new players in your team might not have a good idea of what they are supposed to be doing, and the enemy level goes up.

3) Leveling from L11 to L21 in tombs can be slow and painful with epic gears. I recommend buying decent legendary gear at L15 (extremely cheap) and teaming up with sorcerers for tombs. Same holds true for some point between L23-L26.

4) Once you are L23, one can do Jurn Woods (minus boss) or WT4 until L31.

5) Since this is basically looks like a leveling guide, a level-by-level skill suggestion would help new players. Also, some of the quest-related information could be helpful.

i believe this is the most common pvp build.
even without axe or cs you can still survive.
and yes on tombs it is decent enough to tank.. and you might be right about tanking on elite map. i havent used my warrior on elite runs since 21cap. I mainly used my mage but now i switch back to my warrior.

Can you please explain Vengeful Blood to me and how it works?

[JaytB]

Can you please explain Vengeful Blood to me and how it works?

It does basically what it says in the description, it's a self-buff only.

In its most basic form, it replenishes mana every time the player is taking damage from enemy attacks.

It can buff (depending on the upgrades):
* up to 25% crit
* up to 25% dmg
* up to +50 str

To add, it replenishes health too.

With the 40% upgrade, these effects last for 15 secs. CD is 25 secs.

Also, in PvP, I believe if you activate VB and debuff your target, any nearby team-mates hit by that target also get replenished. I may be wrong.

you're right bro, teammates that are hit also benefit from VB

My build is pretty simple:

Skyward Smash: 4/5 (no mana upgrade)
Chest Splitter: 3/5 (no extended reach or relentless strike)
Vengeful Blood: 5/5
Horn of Renew: 5/5

Passives:

Str: 5/5
Int: 5/5
Dmg: 3/5

I replaced Windmill with my Chest Splitter, because Windmill feels clunkier and has a longer cooldown. Chest Splitter on the other hand has a fast cooldown and can stop enemy windups. Though with the faster cooldowns I use more mana, so 5 points into passive Int is no issue for me. I can keep steady aggro with this build and staying alive is not as difficult, so it works very well for me.

[keikali]

My current tank build is pretty efficient in regular maps. I haven't tried to tank Elite Maps, but I think I should be able to tank with a organized party.

5/5 Skyward Smash (Yea I got the Mana Upgrade, I had one point hanging around, not going to water down another passive/skill with 1 point)
5/5 Windmill (GREAT AoE Taunting Skills. Damage is pretty good combo'd with Vengeful Blood)
5/5 Vengeful Blood
5/5 Horn of Renew (With the increased radius and taunting ability, I can pull aggro back easily)

Passives:

5/5 Strength (A given staple skill)
5/5 Durable (5% Armor Increase)

Okay now I've been debating between 5/5 Durable or 5/5 Dex which would grant me more HP and some dodge. What do you guys think?

I'm currently rocking Full Champion of Will (Too cheap to get Noble, but might get it if its cheap), Amethyst Pendant of the Tides from the Kraken Quest, Glephnir is on sidelines, Ruby Band of Brutality I think?

And last but not least the Mythic Sword/Shield.

hmmm not bad at all bt it lacks feeble ability.
boss has high crit as well as dmg so feeble makes worthwhile. bt its my opinion lol.
since u use myhtic weap it is better to use durable as passive. as armour is in "%" so
more armour u hav greater is d benefit from durable passive. nd to boost more i recommend using:
Ring: Arcane braid if fitness (lvl31)
Amulet: Glowstone necklace of will(lvl31)

although equiping these 2 will decrease ur dmg seriously bt it will boost ur armour.

[Tryndamare]

Good feedbacks, I'll be updating more, just need to make some time

Thanks. Yea I want to try and not decrease my damage for more HP or Armor. I'm trying to find a good balance.

Also I have been considering taking out Skyward Smash for Chest Splitter for strictly bosses, but CS drains mana like nothing.

[Wowsome]

I have run with two builds for elites this season and both have served me well.

Build #1
SS 3/5
WM 4/5
HoR 4/5
RC 5/5
STR 5/5
Armor 5/5
INT 4/5
- I drop VB because relatively my damage sucks anyways . RC helps me better in playing my role as a tank.

Build #2
SS 3/5
WM 4/5
HoR 4/5
CS 2/5
AT 4/5
STR 5/5
Armor 5/5
INT 3/5
- AT replaces SS only for bosses... all the taunts and feebles a tank can have.


To add to the OP w.r.t. pets, I suggest adding Shiloh and the stun/panic pets to the list.

I've never thought of trying Rally Cry. Might check it out instead of VB.

5 skills? I just don't like the thought of taking points out of another skill that waters that skill down or even out of points that can possibly go into a passive skill.
