ITZ Warlord 120, 131, ANB XP Farming 100

[Trouble]

Spiking Mag for 4.6b feels nice. Still working on pulling and maintaining as many mobs as possible.

[Trouble]

The 4 and 6 piece Warlord bonus really help out. Being able to perma Whirlwind while spamming Shockwave, while maintaining ITZ, is what makes the mob phase tolerable.

I've been working on using RS a bit better, and keeping 25% of the map on me at all times.

7:44, wearing 8/9 Celestials now.

Awesome video. I haven't tried "In The Zone" previous to this video. I just ripped though trial 120 with and without it.

It took me slightly more time to finish the trial but I am also not fluid with it yet.

Second thing I noticed which is HUGE - My health pool didn't fluctuate nearly as much compared to using whirlwind.

This build definitely has some potential.

I am still running 4 x Adventurer's and 2 x Jugg w/ Vampiric blades. Seems to me that a 4 x Jugg or Warlord may be ideal for this setup.

With all that parry rating ITZ gives and being able to keep it up almost 100% of the time, it opens up some those 3rd row abilities to allow us to swap things around.

Seems like the warrior fighting strategy is becoming more about finesse than brute force.

ITZ with Warlord is a very smart choice for a fast mobphase, thanks for figuring that out, Trouble!

Concerning WL or Jug:
In ANB I made good progress with 4J/2WL and Bleed, compared to both 6J and 6WL.
I missed to level SW and had to go with WW, paired with Dev and BR first.
Full Jug was nice, as was full WL (I was lucky with RNG), but the mentioned above 4J/2WL let me clear TL100 in ~2 min.
You loose 1400 P when casting Dev, but I used it for bosses only, which die fast enough already.
The 6 piece bonus from WL is covered by 4J and you gain the Frenzy-bonus plus 2k CR and a nice CC from Charge.

Too bad there wasn‘t enough time for me to bring SW to 10, won‘t make this mistake in silver.
I‘m really interested how 4J/2WL with Charge, SW and Dev will compete.

Back to ITZ:
I‘d love to test if dropping Dev for ITZ speed up Trials, but I still have no Warrior with all needed skills@10, this will take some more days/weeks unfortunately.

P.S.: I‘m still a very new player, starting some weeks ago. So, Please feel free to trash my assumptions.

Devastate makes a difference in damage, and it pretty huge. I was using Deadly Throw at first, but Arionthe pointed out Devastate would significantly improve Shockwave damage, and it did by about 4x. Sadly, changing ITZ, Shockwave, or Devastate would greatly impact performance.

Impressive to see how you were able to pull such large mobs and stand toe-to-toe against Kara without taking much damage. Did you use armor in your jewelry or does that all come from your gear?

I have been wanting to try out Vampiric Blades ever since I read the upgrade information. I saw a couple of bleed warriors near the top of the last ANB, but I am still running Bladestorm Aramanents because the updates made Whirlwind fun again. My second warrior is using Blackguard Armaments and a full Defender set. I am still missing 2 pieces of the Warlords gear set, so I haven't tried it out yet, but the Whirlwind proc allows you to throw another ability into the mix. I have not really used In The Zone, but the Parry effect triggers the Whirlwind procs so it gives this set setup some extra punch.

Thanks for sharing!

My gear is pretty terrible over all. The only places I'm getting armor are the companions, and Tough as Nails. Keeping ITZ up does most of the damage reduction, and the life you gain from spamming SW keeps you upright. The 75% damage reduction from Devastate is quite strong on top of these things, too, and contributes a good deal vs the boss.

Nice idea to try, thanks!

I die twice slower than with 6Jugg but still feel like meat.

[Trouble]

Im still looking for a way to make Juggernaut work better.I like having 7 attacks/second if I can.

[Reymon]

Nice! That execute on Kara, though.
Planning to build a full celestial bleed warrior after gold ANB. So, this helps.

Is there a clear winner on Warlords vs. Juggernaut sets debate? Do you think that haste rating is enough, or would having more help?
