Hello guys :)

I decided to stick with the off tank warrior and I have some questions for you before I proceed.(I am not interested in PvP)

BUILD : http://ro2base.com/b...1.1.1/0.0.0.0.0

QUESTIONS:

1 - I believe there is a Parry % cap that most of end-game warriors are able to achieve. I heard it's 70%, therefore no need to max Parrying,(70%+32%=102%)
2 - Do I really need Rage Strike? Why?
3 - In case Rage Strike is not necessary, what would you do with the extra points?



There is another build I am also considering(a little bit more greedy in terms of DPS):

BUILD : http://ro2base.com/b...1.1.1/0.0.0.0.0

QUESTIONS:

1 - A well geared end-game warrior should have a reasonable amount of INT, Battle Tactics might be a good choice considering that, however, would it be better to spend my points on Berserk instead? Can I afford the dodge penalty? http://ro2base.com/b...1.1.1/0.0.0.0.0

About the cards and stat points; I am completely open to suggestions. I heard that the balanced 3x 3x 3x is the way to go. Share your thoughts about it.

Please, do not just post your build there saying it's better without any explanation.

Waiting for answer (:

Battle Tactics + Rage Strike is exceedingly powerful for spike threat, but if you are considering a career in off-tank you don't need it. Parry at lvl 4, and the balanced 3x/3x/3x is indeed the way to go, as dodge and crit helps tremendously in building threat and evading attacks, especially when they are boosted by defender.

Berserk is a great skill, I use it, but I don't think its that important for off-tanking.

I have mentioned this before, Warriors is a class choke full of percentages, so the more stats you have, the better.

I see. Would you recommend to sacrifice Endure and 2 points in Brandish Storm to get Rage Strike lv 5?

Actually, I recommend taking points away from aura strike at least for brandish and the tank skills. You'd be surprised to know that I have no points in neither bash/aura strike since I deal enough damage as is soley from crit.

Very interesting, I will definitely check that out but.. what's your main attack then, all the other skills have a quite long CD time except for Brandish....I will play with the points some more before deciding my route.

Edit: Just checked your videos.. You're nuts dude, it's like you drank a gallon of red bull. LMFAO here.

Rage strike would be according to what situations you're planning to stick your Warrior in..

I did fine offtanking with and without it. Burst damage would be useful for KSing in Colosseum, but since you're not interested in PvP it shouldn't be a must to get it. If you let the DPS do their job in raids while you hold adds then all is well.

That said, if you're not planning to -kill- anything with Brandish, you can still manage mob threat by leaving it at Lv1 and potting after you dish it out, saving 2 extra points for something else.

As for what I would do with extra points... I'd put them on Battle Leap, because that skill is boss. Dramatic entrance awww yeahh
