Runes of Magic US / AU

Indeed W/R is one of the top DPS classes in the game. The reason why I stat Str/Hp over Stam/P.Att is because Str/Hp gives more P.Att than Stam/P.Att of the same tier because P.Att is a raw stat and is not affected by Brute Strength and Hero Potion. W/R is NOT an off tank. Especially when you get -50% P.Def from Frenzied Attack and -36% P.Def from Beserk. If they are telling you to stat P.Def then they are destroying your DPS output.

I stat Str/P.Att x 3, Str/Hp x 2, Str/Stam. I currently rune with Aggression, Potential, Might, and Agile. However I am looking to swap over to Aggression, Potential, Block, Revolution X's when I can. Warrior's are very heavy on TP so it's important to know which skills to level up. SA, PA, OF, SC, KA, BD, Thunder are the only moves you should invest heavy TP in. W/R's do not use Slash.

Using Trap set over Paicha will hurt your DPS. Trap set has accuracy, and much less crit on it than Paicha does. You don't need that much accuracy for end game PvE. The mem accessory set and shell cape is good. Your weapons are fine and should be putting out good DPS. Rune with Wrath, Fatal, Recon, Raid on main hand weapon.

Soooo would you mind elaborating the stats for someone who's completely new :3? If it's not too much to ask it would he greatly appreciated <3
Are you putting str/p.att equally 3 times then str/ hp equally two times then str/stam equally one time then repeat process or? I'm sorry >.< I'm new to this kind of mmorpg but completely intrigued

Quoted from "mikkehboii;521820"

Yes, I'm statting the same on all of my pieces the same exact way.
Str/P.Att (Crimson or Bunker either one I have on hand)
Str/P.Att Hero
Str/P.Att Glorious
Str/Hp Hero
Str/Hp Glorious
Str/Stam Hero (This is a hard mode stat only so it may be hard for some to obtain)

I'm sure you're aware that you can have up to 6 stats per gear. As a Warrior you are a DPS and your main focus is dealing damage. However it is important to maintain a balance between P.Att and Hp so that you may survive in instances. That's why I stat that way. 3 stats based on P.Att, 3 stats based on Hp.

Bangs, you forgot to tell em about your secret stating method of using imprisonment stats.

Quoted from "mikkehboii;522085"

@Opeth- There's nothing wrong with Slash at 27. Leveling all skills to 50 doesn't require much TP at all.

@MP- Yep Slash is important for all 2-Hders for our Slash>TA combo.

Thanks for all the help guys. The only problem with statting like you mentioned is it takes more puries for that dumb t4 str/pa. I'm also going to stop using Slash for a while to see if I see any change in my dps before I decide to wipe my TP.

One more question though. I think I understand the skill rotation during a fight, but what's the best way to start it? With our cooldowns only lasting 10 and 15 seconds, I find that I miss out on a lot of it by the time I'm able to pop everything. What do you guys do at the start of a boss fight?

Quoted from "abalm89;522392"

I'm sad that I didn't know about caviar sandwiches until your post I've been testing my dps without slash and adding in thunder (lvl 50 right now) and I do think it helps. I'll have to wait and test it on an instance that we run often to be sure, but I'm thinking a skill reset might be in the near future.

Couple more questions to keep this thing rolling. What lvl is your brute strength and surprise attack? What would be the best chest piece to use if you can't get ToSH or boro boro (or any Annelia chest pieces)?

Quoted from "chuckles88;522684"

and slash is nice to add an extra bleed for any friendly w/wds in the party =).
