Build talk:W/any Warrior's Endurance Axe

Lolz pwned, except your better off using a scythe-- Shadow 17:29, 31 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Axes are faster and using Cyclone Axe on charge will have better results than a scythe.  ɟoʇuɐʌ ʎʞɔıɹ [[Image:Panic_srsbsns.gif|37px]] 17:32, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

 * Yeah the shield rly helps since they all attack you when your spamming SY, I would atleast replace power attack with asuran scan, FH, or YMLaD since your gonna have plenty of energy-- Shadow [[Image:Relyk Sig.gif]] 17:37, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

E-Charge
is very sexy. Try fitting it on the bar, or atleast Prot Strike for easy adrenaline. --  Guild  of   Deals   17:38, 31 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Variants r variants. prot strike sucks in pve (fast activation isnt really needed)  ɟoʇuɐʌ ʎʞɔıɹ [[Image:Panic_srsbsns.gif|37px]] 17:39, 31 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Also because a skill is in variants instead of main bar isn't really a reason to vote it down tbh.  ɟoʇuɐʌ ʎʞɔıɹ [[Image:Panic_srsbsns.gif|37px]] 17:40, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

 * This is better than using cleave, just put in lots of variants and make people happy-- Shadow [[Image:Relyk Sig.gif]] 17:43, 31 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Yes and then Rapta will come and rip your build apart because there are too many variants :3  ɟoʇuɐʌ ʎʞɔıɹ [[Image:Panic_srsbsns.gif|37px]] 17:44, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

You have enough energy without WE. why not take triple chop? Dutchess of Rose aka  lukejohnson  - talk 17:59, 31 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Try spamming Triple Chop, Power Attack and Cyclone Axe on recharge (perpetually) and see if you are right.  ɟoʇuɐʌ ʎʞɔıɹ [[Image:Panic_srsbsns.gif|37px]] 18:02, 31 October 2008 (EDT)
 * ^because you cant spam skills anymore unless you're using a zealous axe.-- Ikimono Thinks before commenting [[Image:Paragon-icon-small.png]] 18:02, 31 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Quite obviously having to take a zealous axe reduced damage output; Sundering is fucking strong.  ɟoʇuɐʌ ʎʞɔıɹ [[Image:Panic_srsbsns.gif|37px]] 18:03, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

Hero bar
Apparently heroes active WE on aggro, so this should work for them. --  Guild  of   Deals   09:35, 1 November 2008 (EDT)
 * By my guest...  ɟoʇuɐʌ ʎʞɔıɹ [[Image:Panic_srsbsns.gif|37px]] 10:11, 1 November 2008 (EDT)
 * However, it doesn't seem like heroes activate Flail in any way. According to Guild Wars Wiki Hero behavior article, they only use it when the enemy they're fighting is knocked down, so it may be wise to replace it with something else; except if I missed something. 88.164.193.232 17:43, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Flail?
wouldn't tiger stance be better than flail because it doesn't make you slower and it only ends if you don't hit.--WGG
 * ...Tiger Stance is really bad. -- 08:53, 30 November 2008 (EST)
 * No it's not-- Shadow Relyk [[Image:Relyk srs.gif|19px]] 09:02, 30 November 2008 (EST)
 * Meh, that's not a terrible option, but ending on block and taking up 2 skills for an IAS that's maintainable is pretty bad. And there's very little kiting in PvE, and any real kiting cane be taken care of by putting Deep Freeze. -- 09:04, 30 November 2008 (EST)

I don't see the point of taking any IAS here. The whole build centers around an elite stance, precluding the use of another. 206.81.96.46 03:10, 30 December 2008 (EST)
 * Elite Skill*. Banaantje 06:09, 30 December 2008 (EST)

 * cba --Mafaraxas 00:07, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I prefer "Finish Him!" to Dismember in a WE build, since it's almost a guaranteed kill to anyone under 50% health. In fact with this kind of build I would avoid adrenal skills altogether, which allows you take Dwarven Stability + Burst of Aggression for constant IAS, and Wild Blow for stance-removal. Also, replace Power Attack with Counterattack; it does almost as much damage and helps further with the energy-management, which is particularly useful if you're using "Finish Him!" at 10 energy. Asuran Scan is a good optional, as is "I Am Unstoppable!". Andran Steel 16:33, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I found that taking Ranger as the Hero's secondary allows you to assign Apply Poison to the skill bar. The high energy cost is mitigated my Warrior's Endurance and having a poisonous axe equipped makes it quite nice.Jimbob1178 16:56, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 15e is a lot to recover from, even with WE. [[File:KJ badge sig.png]] 17:05, 31 August 2009
 * Well no, WE + Flail will get you 15 energy in 4.45 seconds -Biz

-Update- (May 14, 2009)

 * you need buffs like soh to make it worth it. things not kiting means you do autoattack damage, and there's nothing really significant you're building up adren for. &mdash; μαφλεσ 18:02, September 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Why would you want prot strike instead of Power Attack anyway?
 * Fast activation (and prot strike is a lot faster than a regular attack) and low recharge results in triggering buffs more often. It's essentially an additional IAS. -- Toraen TheJanitor [[image:ToraenSig2.png|link=User:Toraen]] 15:50, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

phail?
WE is sued to mass charge energy, whats the point of adrenal skills? just take burst of aggresion for IAS and forget Adren skills.68.227.202.180 21:09, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

 * Just curious, how would going /R and bringing Never Rampage Alone and a pet along instead of flail? I love NRA, and flail is pretty annoying without a cancel stance. The attributes would be Axe: 12+1+1, Strength: 10+1, and Beast: 8 24.107.107.6 19:31, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

 * Tbh, I've found that NRA is more effective when used in mostly adrenaline based builds, such as: . Even with WE, the energy is a bit hard to keep up with, not that you couldn't do it.

 * Yeah, i got the idea from when i fell in love with the NRA Rage build. I would think with a zealous axe and a decent sunspear rank, Energy shouldn't be too tough to manage. I personally still prefer using the NRA rage war, but I just figured that this could be another fairly viable option for this build as well, especially considering how sweet pets are in PvE now Kurotou Shadestryke 19:49, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

 * Are there any better optional hero skills than slots for mostly interrupts? I was confused as well about the sunspear skill - downloaded it on my hero and it didn't show up.  Yeah, call me a tard but why not have a skill bar that includes heroes as well as general?  I know these pages have to be updated frequently or they get tossed, but  leave the slots empty if it doesn't include heroes or don't flag it as a hero build in my window licker opinion.  67.166.140.31 20:55, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

hero
Burst of aggression mainbar? Heroes are terrible at using flail properly and there's only one adrenal skill on the bar so the downside to BoA wouldn;t be so bad. <font color="Purple">Hareemuhhh. talk? 16:19, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

Speaking of Outdated

Here's another one: it's specifically under working "HERO BUILDS" - so there's that.

I have a great Monk/Assasin Build - you just need 12 points in Death Magic and 12 in Channeling - it's great.

Again flail...
heroes doesnt use flail at all...so i change the hero mainbar...an ias with 3 sec downtime is still better than nothing.Illoyon 12:04, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Don't put player/hero builds in the same builds?
I think flagging this as both a player build and a hero build makes the rating ambiguous. This may be a great player build, but it is not a great hero build, especially since hero builds should be compared against all professions unlike player builds. Tasty 15:18, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, it's the least terrible thing you can run on your warrior, and anyone with a fraction of a brain will know that you never run warrior heroes unless you're doing a NF mission that requires it. -- Jai .  -  15:58, April 23 2012 (UTC)
 * Enduring daggers is probably better now, like scythe used to be. Should just remove the hero tag if this is only useful for a few NF missions in any case. Tasty 17:55, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Then this build shouldn't be on the builds for great hero builds. That's simply not correct. GigaRaichu 07:58, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Frenzy in high level PvE
How well does this build do in higher level PvE areas, e.g. doa HM? Im thinking with regards to frenzy. Im always very hesitant to activate frenzy and only do so if im 100% sure i dont have aggro of any mesmers/eles. Are frenzy builds viable in doa hm or is the risk of getting 1 shot too high? What about other high level dungeons or areas such as Fmaw or FoW? Cptretardo (talk) 17:29, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * As long as you have shelter, it doesn't really matter if you have frenzy. Be careful when Shelter is not active tho, cause that's a good way to get yourself killed ZStepmother (talk) 17:47, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I'd take Burst of Aggression over Frenzy any day. While you DO lose all adrenaline, you're only losing the 5 adrenaline or less in Dismember [as long as that's the only adrenaline skill you have]. I'd say it's worth taking, then... imho! --Ulterion0715 (talk) 00:04, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * You cant perma upkeep Burst of Aggression tho which makes it unviable imo. (with 13 Strength, theres a 3 second downtime). I think with Shelter, Frenzy is ideal considering Flail makes any build unplayable.. Cptretardo (talk) 02:20, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
