User:Nova/Personal Build Archive/Build:Nova's PvP Warrior Builds

Nova's PvP Warrior Builds is a collection of PvP Warrior builds used by User:Nova and is kept here for personal reference.

Lifebreaker
A build focused on Backbreaker to deal massive amounts of damage without letting the opposition react.

Equipment

 * Full + Energy armour
 * Two runes of Attunement, one Rune of Superior Vigor
 * Furious Hammer of Hammer Mastery, 15^50

Usage

 * Due to the long buildup of adrenaline required and lack of good self-healing, this is suited for Team Arenas.
 * Build up adrenaline with Berserker Stance and "For Great Justice!". When you're good, begin the adrenaline chain:
 * Tiger Stance for increased DPS.
 * Backbreaker to begin damage and keep the target nearly immobilized for a good 4 seconds.
 * Crushing Blow for damage and Deep Wound
 * Mighty Blow for heavy damage
 * Power Attack to finish him off
 * With this chain, you should easily deal at least 400 damage within 5 seconds.

Counters

 * Stances, e.g. Bonetti's Defense
 * Shouts, e.g. "Watch Yourself!" This may give the foe the slight advantage to quickly heal himself after being spiked.
 * Sharp-eyed enemy Monks.

Devastating Hammer
A basic hammer build revolving around Devastating Hammer.

Attributes and Skills

 * Replace "Watch Yourself!" with Shielding Hands, take off all points in Tactics and move them over to Protection.

Equipment

 * Use a Furious 15^50 Hammer of Warding (to add a bit of armour)
 * Full Gladiator's Armor, with Stonefist Gauntlets
 * Runes: Minor Hammer, Strength, Tactics, Vigor, Attunement

Usage

 * Use Berserker Stance to build adrenaline
 * Spam "Watch Yourself!"
 * Chain Devastating Hammer and Crushing Blow
 * Use Heavy Blow after Crushing Blow, but you don't have to do it consecutively.
 * Irresistible Blow is your "increase attack damage" skill.
 * Mend Ailment for condition removal.

Sword Paladin
The wonderful Mending Paladin! Try it out, no one uses Enchantment removal these days!

Equipment

 * Sentry's Duelist Helm of Minor Swordsmanship
 * Dreadnought Curiass of Superior Absorption
