Shock Axe
<pvxbig> [build prof=warri/elemen axema=12+1+1 streng=12+1 air=3][Evisc][Body Blow][Disrupting Chop][Bull's Strike][Shock][frenzy][Rush][resurrection signet][/build] </pvxbig>
Equipment
- Zealous/Vampiric Axe of Fortitude
- Ebon Axe of Fortitude
- Furious Spear of Fortitude
- -2/+30 Strength Shield (While in Stance)
- +5 AR/+30 Strength Shield (Elemental; can swap depending)
- -20% Crippled Duration Strength Shield of Fortitude
- -20% Blind Duration Strength Shield of Fortitude
- Example Template Code: Pk5hbOvjjkaikpW9rIhpI90QjpIRBhipITRhg5ODrxhpIJL
Runes/Insignias:
- Stonefist Insignia Absolutely necessary.
- Mostly Vitae suggested; some attune if you use Shock other than in conjunction with Bull's.
- Some use Sentinel's on Chest (not suggested but possible).
- Clarity/Restoration
Usage
- Upon entering combat, carefully select a target and begin auto-attacking to build up adrenaline (Use a Furious Spear/Bow or a Wand to gain adrenaline when you can't get too close).
- Knock Down moving foes with Bull's Strike.
- Disrupt and knock down targets with Shock or create a knockdown-lock with Bull's Strike.
- Call targets and spike with Eviscerate and Body Blow (or Executioner's Strike.)
- Body Blow can also function as a second Deep Wound attack skill if your target is affected by Cracked Armor.
- Use Frenzy to spike faster and/or increase the amount of pressure you're putting out. A 33% attack speed buff roughly equates to a 50% increase in damage output.
- Use Rush to chase kiting foes, cancel Frenzy, or as a simple movement speed buff.
- Use Disrupting Chop at opportune moments to interrupt and disable skills (for example, use it as a Monk recovers from a knockdown).
- Swap to appropriate weapon sets as necessary (Ebon when attacking another Warrior, etc.)
- Resurrect allies when necessary.

Usage

Cripshot
<pvxbig> [build prof=ranger/monk experti=12+1+1 marksman=9+1 wilderne=9+1 protec=3][Crippling Shot][distracting shot][savage shot][apply poison][Lightning Reflexes][natural stride][mending touch][resurrection signet][/build]
