Forum Link Code:[url=]W-A Steady Axe Warrior[/url]
This pressure build is made from the Nightfall skill Steady Stance, and Desperation
Blow and Drunken Blow from the previous 2 campaigns. The
character may look like a gimmick at first sight, however the "Fear
Me!" spam causes mass e-denial, especially with multiple copies of
this character.
Attributes and Skills
Equipment
- Vampiric and Ebon axes of fortitude (15^50 inscription).
- +5 energy axe (possibly focus too) to counter e-denial.
Usage
- Use steady stance followed by either Drunken Blow or
Desperation Blow.
- Spike down targets by following with Critical Chop.
- Keep yourself clear of condition with Signet of Malice.
Variants
- Signet of Malice can be switched for Dash or Rush
if you have reliable backup.
- The build is as or more powerful when using Hammers, by
speccing 12+1+1 into Hammer Mastery and switching Critical Chop for
Hammer
Bash.
Counters
- Block skills are not as big a problem as they may seem. Even if
the attack skills are blocked, you will gain the energy and
adrenaline, so to keep up your "Fear Me!" spam.
- Signet of Humility, by disabling Steady Stance, consistently
disrupts this build
- Anti-warrior Hexes
