An Analysis of Whirlwind and Devastate

[TheExorcist]

Had a nice ww axe pair with also a nice encrypted shield..

From the beginnin of playin SW until trial 120 somethin I only used those 2.. nice

Suddenly made a grave mistake of salvagin both.

Now used BG set..erm..some time ok a bit sometime not at all. At lease can survive at the moment

How bout cleaver for whirlwind shield warrior?..ok?. If yes..pair with wat..encrypt? Or that BG shield

I was using what I called the immortal skill set for SW.

WS : black guard mace + ES
primary: Frenzy / RS
utility: SW / SB / BR or DT
passive: SaB / D / TaN or E

This have very low death rate on mob phase at 125+ and can really pull a lot of mob but gonna crawl on boss phase especially vs garm. Haven't tried further when the new update came. If we have multi-player and I have a mage or BH partner then no problem.

aah..still remember the "Immortal King Call" set

Old memories

Shockwave with Defender?

ShotDead!!!!!

a very good question indeed.

Shockwave with Defender?

i'm waitin from our former Master (now veteran) Altheo the Wise

Shockwave with Defender?

Yep. SW. As I've said, this is nearly immortal build. SW heals you and reduces damage. And I got Encrypted shield. And I got to pull mobs faster (you know how SW works). You also get the bleed on DT proc. So SW can be of some use too in boss phase although technically, you are left with BR and SB tp deal with the boss and that takes like forever on high trial.

[TheExorcist]

I better slowly craft a new encrypted shield

And start to practise shockwave with shield warrior

With shockwave I might not HV to use whirlwind after all..

Lemme try with this low end pc

Later perhaps..

erm..erm

err..ws?..wat's that

Ah yes, that is my replacement to WW cause it is completely useless in boss phase. So I tried SW and noticed I have stopped using potions. It serves the purpose of gathering the mob too. And it does not hinder my alacrity. The only thing I lost is the MS granted by WW but overall, both serves the purpose of pulling mobs, damaging them and it even helps at boss phase (I think).

I am not saying that this is the way to go. I just claim that this makes me feel like kinda immortal on mob phase except of course vs those flame summoning b*sta*ds.

I think I need to get rid of some LoH to fully use it's potential. Lemme see if I have some non LoH pieces of defender.

shot dead why not both of us and others (who are interested) try this new nearly immortal kind of thing for a change
now or later perhaps??

Haha, just noticed this now. I don't really think that the number of post makes you veteran or master or what in the game. It is how you work things out. There are a lot out there who have very few post but outrank me bigtime in mobile play.

What I post though is based on what I've tried. For the SW on shield warrior, I tried it prior the release of season 1. And I have no celestial or good defender set. Just the loots I got doing trials (I use dual wield as main gear). I managed up to TL123 and got stuck on 124 that time. I kinda quit playin and just hang around here from time to time. So I cannot further craft and test it out using lvl70+ or so gear and on top of that, a celestial.

You can try it but I have no guarantees.
