Warrior's new builds

[Arin]

Hi, I'm a warrior player, still testing and learning the new builds after Everbound's new weapon set effect update, but here are my impressions so far:

- 6J or 5J1D (with Everbound Trinket): You should discard this now unless you really love the Devastate animation. 3J or Shockwave Shield Warrior are better options than this.

- 3J+WFD: Powerful, and it resolves many weak points of 6J (5J1D), but it still heavily relies on elite maps.

- Shockwave Shield Warrior: Powerful, addressing some of the issues in 3J+WFD, particularly the heavy reliance on elite maps. This build kills normal mobs better than 3J does. However, it requires a different playstyle and strategy from those used for 6J, 3J, or traditional Shield Warrior. It still has room for improvement.

PS: turn off xagan's freezing skill (now you can turn it off) especially when playing all types of shield warrior.

Thanks for sharing this Arin - for those who don't know Arin is one of the TOP Warrior players, so his insights are greatly appreciated.

For some fun, here's my mediocre attempt at running the Shockwave Shield Warrior, my way anyway: TL155 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg6eTvZmAE0

Thanks, from me as well, guys. ALWAYS read both of your posts.

Hmmm ... thinking I should invest more in a "J" Warrior as another main, since we now have more slots to fill with champions instead of stashing replacemnt gear into inventory, and in light of the new stones.

(Maybe one day ... one day, a better Fury Set will come along -- my favorite to play in Story for farming; but, alas, it lacks power to be a competitive meta in Trials.)

For me, I'm not much into the defensive Warriors (ala Shield) -- just not my style of play. Which reminds me why we haven't heard from another good buddy for a long time, TheExorcist, to see if he's tried the Shockwave Shield?
