Here is what Romme has posted:

EXP/EG GEAR FOR ANB

*run the highest trial you can in under a minute. You don't need to go straight to tl100-105. It ok if you don't start doing tl100 until after 1500CL

if new to the build, struggle to complete quick enough, or are playing on main replace eg with vitality, cr, or power. I recommend you have 1000+ vitality to start and once you get better you can remove.

**EVERYTHING SHOULD HAVE: -AR -CD -EXP

Head - fury
-eg
- slayer enchant

Neck and rings
- eg
- power enchant

Shoulders - fury
-eg
-cd enchant

Chest - fury
-eg
-vitality enchant

Cape - IM
-eg
-power enchant

Trinket 1- Tos
-physical

Trinket 2- Vial or qol
-physical

Gloves - fury
-eg
-parry enchant

Bracers - ww or cleave work well but not needed
-physical

Belt - whirling storm
-physical

Pants - fury
-movement speed
-enchant movement speed

Boots- fury
-movement speed
-enchant movement speed

Weapons - bladestorm axes (could reuse for push)
- power
- enchant slayer


I believe this to be a smidge dated as the current seems to be putting physical damage and nature damage on the belt, bracer and trinkets. I will ask Romme if it should be updated.

UPDATE: I had a brief exchange with Romme and his comment was along the lines that 105 XP runs can be done with only physical or only nature or both and that it really does not matter that much. He also seems to be in the camp that dual damage types were not intended and not a fan of doing it. This is all my summary rather than his exact words.

[TheExorcist]

Thanks Tinman err putting physical vs nature?
Is it strictly LEGAL and absolutely Fair?
Anyway I only knew how to used one type. I choose physical.

Strange. If we are permitted by the book to used both at the same time why when try to legally crafting etc it looks like below

In other words I can only choose one: either physical or nature

[Tin Man]

Legal? Yes.

Because the developers say that they are planning to fix it as the ability to do so it unintended, a bug. However, they have also said that they will not ban players for doing so. Further, they have said that when they do correct the ability to craft dual damage types that they will purge existing gear pieces that have dual damage types.

Absolutely fair? Yes.

Falls into the same category as claiming and completing Daily Quests with your regular hero and collecting them with your ANB hero. Is again something that is not intended but common practice and the developers have said it does not rise to the level of exploit and therefore bannable.

Placing more than one damage type on a trinket, belt or bracer is openly discussed and those discussions are not removed. Having physical and nature damage for 6 Fury is the META for Fury as far as I know and is what allows Fury to push as high as it does and, I believe, also farm effectively. Fair is what is keeping with the accepted tactics that the developers have tacitly endorse because the discussions are not banned and players doing it are not banned. Compare this to the tactic of using crafting heroes during ANBs which is more in your face and, until recently, was not commonly known to get you banned if you do it.

Crafting heroes during ANBs? Unfair and will get you banned.
Multiple damage types on a single item? Fair as it is commonly accepted.

If someone wants to take the moral high-ground and refuse to put multiple damage types on a single item? I do not fault them for their choice and respect their conviction. The are willingly choosing to hamstring themselves against their competition. Some players refuse to equip their earned medals out of principle because they feel equipped medals are against the spirit of ANB events as they are not turned off during ANBs. Again, I respect their convictions and choices.

Whether it is fair is truly the choice of each individual. Each individual decides what is right or wrong for them. I just feel each individual should know the benefits and costs of their decision.

Also, you can actually put four different damage types on a single piece of Legendary gear but it really is not practical. Fury is currently the only set build that benefits from dual-damage types.

UPDATE: See the update in post #5 above.

[TheExorcist]

Very difficult this full furry with just one type of damage. Took nearly my lifetime to beat Trial 138. Thus I jump here jump there browsing. Aha found so and so posting and read Bojack reply to it (how to craft 2 type of damage etc). After all these years now I just smile when look at my recently new anb crafting:

[Tin Man]

TheExorcist Hot of the presses! They have been working on a new warrior guild and the preliminary wording has been dropped and being reviewed. The work has been being done by Premify and Gargos.

3. Try to leap / charge as far as you can. Don't aim directly at groups but slightly next to and past them to pick them up with whirlwind
4. If you leap, immediately tap/click the floor without mobs to shorten the leap animation





They are doing a fantastic job of updating the guides and making them as concise as possible.

A kind soul that findeth a tin full of pity for the poor nondiscordians....looking forward to trying all these incredible tactics once real life time permits...
cheers Tin Man

[TheExorcist]

Thanks again Tin Man
I vote the above premify vs gargos etc furry pushing discord build to be on top of warrior guide. For the benefit of all
Now need to go through it slowly step by step...

Omg. I used the wrong belt. No wonder silver anb trial 138 took a lifetime. Should stick to botws. Wat I'm going to do with this level 77 belt of the templar ? Throw it into the dustbin? Well.

Terrible mistake. It seems I should still used some CR on gears. Mine now? None. O dear.

[Premify]

TheExorcist It's true that I prefer the Belt of Whirling Storm since it helps with surviveability (-2 seconds that you need to tank mobs).

But templar belt works fine as well. I've tested 6Fury with templar belt last bronze and cleared TL153. So maybe hold on for this ANB and test what playstyle you like better next ANB.

The build stays pretty much the same except:
- change crit rating for haste
- change dodge for parry
- use Lightning Reflexes with Endurance / tough as nails
- socket haste & vitality

And the mop phase movement is also a bit different.
Here's a video with 6Fury & templar belt last Bronze ANB at TL150: https://youtu.be/4214n7BFUys

Have fun

[TheExorcist]

Premify thanks I try to adjust here and there a bit.
Lightning reflexes is it? Had just replaced one of the two (endurance and tan) with it. Later will try running 142 with lightning reflexes. Nearly fail to beat Magroth with both (tan and endurance plus power infusion as passive) at 141. Just a second or two left. But made it at first attempt.

erm without proper gear, hero attributes etc playing full set fury at higher trials is hella of a game. Tougher than a whirlwind shield warrior
Which one more fun? A shield warrior or a fury warrior?????

I had to be honest:

Fury warrior. Even though I'm still not used/familiar with it for pushing. Why? I killed Kara at 140 with less than 4-5 min time left with a full fury set. How on earth to kill Kara with a shield warrior at 3-4 min somethin left. Impossible.

Hv a nice day

[Tin Man]

Traitor!
