 Zeratul The Avenger  

Info
Born as my first character in october 2006 in Prophecies, this warrior represents main part of my play time. I give him most of my attention and I am attempting to max him out in every area of this game. Thatswhy he is my ultimate character. His main purpose is PvE campaign domination usually played as leading adrenaline based damage dealer. His common secondary professions are monk and necromancer. Name is inspired by end-game events occured in Starcraft: Broodwar.

Builds Used
As stated above, i specialize on using adrenaline based build which worked through whole three campaigns. When farming, i play W/E Obsidian Tank build. My build:<BR>

Equipment

 * Armor
 * Knight's armor with a Rune of Superior Vigor and two Runes of Attunement or Vitae.
 * Including above stated Rune of Minor Tactics and Sowrdsmanship.
 * Weapons
 * Kanaxai's Edge or other good +30HP sword.
 * Exalted Aegis or any similar shield for more health and damage reduction.

Usage
Engaging biggest group and starting with Hundred Blades should pump your adrenaline. Keeping spamming Watch Yourself to help your party and conditioning with Sever Artery. Using Thrill of Victory on damaged foes. Utilizing Galrath Slash when its ready for combo with Final Thrust. Plague Touch to ease my monk's job when conditioned, especially when blinded, dazed or crippled.

Variations

 * When the mission or situation asks for it, bring Distracting Blow instead of Plague Touch.
 * For better energy management use Counterattack instead of Thrill of Victory, it's better for high level foes and keeps your energy intact. In this case change for Strength 10+1, Tactics 10+1+1, Swordsmanship 11+1. It's possible to bring along Flail instead of Plague Touch for quicker adrenaline bumping, in case you won't need anti-conditioning.
 * For these variations is not fixed secondary profession. They use only Warrior skills.
 * Works great with Infuriating Heat. Consider bringing a party member with this one.

Counters

 * Any anti-adrenaline spells like Soothing Images, energy-degen skills like Malaise and also Quicksand can make your life harder. Especially when fighting undead in Desolation.
