User:Mgrinshpon/Grinch Warrior

A build (in testing by myself, for quality control. Why else would it be here on my user page?) designed for both tanking in PvE, RA and AB. If you have suggestions, place them in the discussion page.

Attributes and Skills
If using an axe, put Disrupting Chop in the optional slot. If using a sword, any adrenaline attack would be your best bet.

Equipment

 * A zealous mod is critical to help offset the atrocious energy management this build (in concept) has. A weapon mod of Of Defense or of Of Warding will also be absolutely critical to helping you stay alive in AB, where elemental weapons are commonplace.
 * A second weapon of any sort that isn't zealous, to regain energy when not attacking.
 * Choose the best (while enchanted) gear available.
 * The best Vigor rune and Absorbtion rune in your chest piece.
 * Like every just about every other warrior build known to man, this needs Gladiator's Armor with Stoneskin Gauntlets for increased knockdown.

Usage

 * Run in first with Shield of Judgement on. Whenever anyone attacks you, make them pay with it by using one of the two strikes.
 * Shield of Judgement doesn't last forever. After taking two or three hits, due to Balthazar's Spirit, Bonetti's Defense should be ready to roll. This is not only a defense, but a way to regain energy when against melee fighters.
 * Bane Signet is a skill to use when another person is attacking you and Shield of Judgement is down. Just use it, and quickly drop a Holy Strike or Stonesoul Strike for a bit of damage.

Variations

 * Replace Bane Signet for an adrenaline skill.
