Szang's PvE Build

[Szangheili]

This is my first ever, debunking of my build. This is strictly a PvE build, mainly because I haven't tested it out in PvP. So, with that said, hope you guys enjoy :3
Gear:
-L31 Noble Plate of Will
-L31 Noble Helm of Will
*If you have Mythic gear, of course stick to that.
Skills:
-Skyward Smash= Maxed
-Chest Splitter= Maxed
-Windmill= Maxed
-HoR= Maxed
{Axe Throw= Blacksmiths Touch}* This is if you want to swap it for any other skill, use at your own will.*

Passives:
-Might= Maxed
-Agility= 3/5* If used Axe Throw* {5/5} If you didn't use Axe Throw.
Pets:
-Ribbit
-Hazel
-Snaggletooth
-Nexus
-Orion
*Really any pet that grants STR.

Weapon just depends on the person, I personally use Devourer Maul of Potency.


The Passives can both be maxed out if you do not prefer Axe Throw, which to most tanks, is a great idea, but since I know how to play with that Axe Throw, I use it depending on my Party. Hope you guys liked

May I ask why agility 3/5 as a passive?

As I stated, it would be 5/5 if you don't use Axe Throw

Great job!

[Szangheili]

Thanks!

maxed cs is interesting .. not seen much.

yep, I am intrigued on CS for PvE and no VB.

Can you justify or shed us more light on how you came up with this build? I am currently waiting for my plats for respeccing.

I did start this build with VB, but seeing how an update screwed it up by making it so you have to gain the mana by damaging the opponents, I decided to go with this build to test it out. Seeing how there are pets and mages who can assist with mana and health, I ran this build for a long time and now am accustomed to it. Also, with my gear, my mana is at a decent level, and now I can solo most maps without an issue. I do have to buy some pots here and there, usually keep it at a 150+ mana pot range of each to be steady when partying or solo'ing maps.

Wait, I used to think that under VB, you gain mana BY taking opponents damage. So its now the other way around (more like the rage point of warriors in WoW in which you gain more Rage points while fighting and not while getting hit) I think that explains why I lose mana faster lately as compared before. At the moment, I have 1000 mp on full battle gear for PvE and PvP and about 600-800 on my lepre. Before, I never ran out of mana esp in PvE but now, I noticed that I have to buy mana pots more often than I used to... hmmm... that figures... Am I correct btw?

Ah, just read it, you're right. Either way, the update made it not so good for me anymore. So now I buy pots and party with the right.classes. This build by far, is the best build I made for myself.

on the other hand, I go VB not for the mana regen but for the str and crit it gives. I will ponder on your build and will analyze if it will fit my way of playing. I'm not much of a party warrior.

I usually solo my maps, and party whenever I farm. Give it a go, and tell me what ya think

[Szangheili]

Btw, I specifically use these skills due to their fast cool down times, very easy to deal quick and effective dmg

Oh no, Armor maxed out is old school, it no longer helps IMO. Lol, try my build and tell me how it works

pretty good build only if u hav good party in u will b using alot pots.
also CS max is not mch good. u can invest 2 precious point on other good skill.

many ppl dnt kno to use VB as mana gain. bt for me i can get mana by using CS+VB+HoR+WM.

my build has 5 skills as yours bt dnt hav AT though.
CS-3 points
SS- 4
WM- 4
HoR- maxed
VB- maxed
Might- maxed
Int- maxed

and i use lvl31 champion will set with storm sword potency.

I use AT when solo'ing, but if they let us do free respec I'll drop AT to max out my Dex passive, maybe it'll be a more pure PvE tank build. But as of now, it works good for solo'ing and parties xP

If it fits you nice. Personally VB is too good to give up for me. The extra str/crit buffs help significantly. Not to mention regens. I usually pop hor then vb when puling large groups or low health. I rarely ever pot. Also i dont like cs. The interrupt sounds nice but doesnt seem work on all bosses when i used. Confirm this?

Anyways i have:
ss-4/5(all cept mana return)
windmill max
Hor-4/5(all cept increase range)
vb max
Might max
Dex max

I'll be opening up to new builds when the cap raises, I'll give this a try

Just switched to this build, I think it works well with parties! Although it seems as if VB fails once in a while... But overall i like!
