I’m playing a titan and I was initially using slam skills nodes. It is fun but I switched to hulking form, which I prefer because it boosts everything you do. So you can adapt your playstyle more efficiently because after some time you can’t rely only on slow attacks to do damage.
LOVING the warrior so far. I'm just about lv 30 and on Act 2. I use Totems to start the fight with a group and then get some bleed/stun before I uppercut everyone. It's destroyed most everything! Even the armour break is great for bosses. So far, so good!
Re: Armor Break; Don't discount Resonating Shield for armor break. Resonating Shield basically completely replaces "Raise Shield" and I've been using it with the Shield Build. Any time I block for Magma, I usually also end up hitting the shield at least once or twice and generating a bunch of armor break in that AoE. When fighting the Count, I ended up more or less with constant armor break. I'm not 100% sure if it'll make a ton of sense at the end game, but for now, just a little bit of armor break seems to improve my damage quite a bit.
Ah yes, that jump from lvl 13 to 15 was very noticeable. Upgrading my weapon did help, though I don't feel that should be needed with a lvl 8 unique. I was going for a stun build but then the rolling slam stopped stunning, and my damage and survivability dropped down a cliff. They're also going to nerf it so I'm probably going to respec into a fire and totem build. I like the idea of earthquake but jagged ground does not really seem to have enough great synergies or nodes to warrant a build for it, and the nodes take quite a detour.
Hey there. I have a quick question about Armour Break. How do we know when we did %100 Armour Break on a target? Is there any sort of indication? Great vids. Thanks for the work
I really want to like Warrior. But too many skills leave you stuck in animations. When your best builds involve setting down totems and shouting at the top of your lungs repeatedly. You really have to ask yourself if you're a warrior at all. Definitely appreciate the videos though. Someone being a lot more thorough with the leveling builds. Would've been disappointing if I spent a bunch of time to realize that I just don't like the main skill for a build.
@infra_r3d133 My hope was an actual melee feel. I just picture some guy running around me in circles screaming "raaah". I hope the other classes come through. Go to a sorc or ranger and everything just feels so smooth comparatively.
Yeah. It’s very hard relatively speaking. You are playing on hard mode. As a fan of the tanky Paladin and Crusader a bit disappointed so far. Put my warrior on hold at level 38 and trying other classes.
Good call, no point making Meta op endgame builds because once everyone runs them they get nerfed. Better to just have builds to get people there, then they can figure endgame out themselves through trial and error.
Mid Act III, almost 6K armour isn't enough to survive even with 40-50% elemental resistances. I've also hit a stand-still with my weapon and can't find and or craft a better one. Few of the bosses were brutal grind.
THIS! No one is talking about how defence in general and specing into defense effectively cripples you because your defense doesn't matter. 10 or 10000.
I have 7.5k armor sitting at 78% physical reduction, 41% lightning 38% fire 22% cold. 0% chaos currently. I definitely felt pretty tanks and continued to jump into packs with leap slam>concentrated ground>overwhelming presence>momentum. I nearly always had 1 target primed for stun for bone shatter. I finished act 3 level 45.
@@jordank5551 guess I just need to keep suffering through lol. I'm 35 in act 3 and am getting 1 tapped. Vendors haven't had anything worthwhile and can barely farm with my current setup
I think you can start near the bleed nodes if you just start your warrior build as a mercenary. Gemling Legionairre scales really well with stats and Warriors can scale really well with Strength in general. I think that is what I want to try next.
Im only at around the end of act 1 and my two hander warrior is the first class i actually fight towards the waves and/or let them come and destroy them with my aoe`s. Really liking it so far and i never play warriros. But after the constant retreat fighting with my merc and ranger this is something fresh.
Yo drybear , I copied your slam warrior and I like it but I can't equip a temple maul like you had in your build ? No Id why ? Al the stats are ok I think lvl 33 and 177 strengt no red stats showing you or anybody have I Id why ?
Warrior is fantastic, have breezed thru act 1-3, like 4 deaths, only thing I struggled with was first ascendancy, second ascendancy I did at level 38 or 39 I think? Didnt need to over level it at all really. Just go armor break with armor explosion folks, blows up entire areas with one mace strike.
I've played all six and warrior is the class i felt the least weak in act 1, other than a couple tricky boss fights. I felt like I one to two shot everything. It takes more work than my witch (highest lvl char) but if you're someone that likes weighty melee in games warrior has got it 💪
Warrior hardest to level? I beg to differ. Try playing a Chaos Witch prioritizing DoT effects like Contagion and Essence Drain then get back to me. Theres a reason they're buffing Chaos DoT
re armor breaking. You do not need any skills for that. You break armor on stagger from your passive tree. If anything you are struggling not to break it fully so you can Boneshatter
I don’t agree all u have to do is rolling slam into bone shatter then u learn leap slam and u just do that into bone shatter. On bosses and single target u just auto attack them and bone shatter and use perfect strike when u stun them
Idk man i went 2 handed the whole first play through since level 4. Im level 46, just finished acts 1-3. Im a titan, i slam shit, everyoone dies. I face rolled the whole game until dyromis elites with railguns in the ladder or act 3. Slot the right gems, spec for all the damage nodes you come across. I hear so much warrior feedback on leveling difficulties, trust in the bonk Brothers, its there, i promise.
Yes I thought the difficulty of the campaign was appropriate, some bosses were even a little easy. Worst part is the Sekhema trial, especially for the 3rd ascendancy it seems impossible
I'm using leap slam to build up stun on trash and finishing them off with boneshatter. For bosses, just standard melee swings to build stun, then yell at them with infernal and seismic and drop the hammer of gods on them.. pretty simple
warrior is only difficult to level if you do not want to use your base weapon attack. it is incredibly overpowered. but saying warrior is hard because you don't want to use it is like saying arches is hard because I don't want to shoot arrows.
Warrior lvl 70 here and auto attack is still very strong. It is almost our only quick attack so it is often very useful in maps. With the 15% armor break support it breaks armor pretty quickly also.

The worst part of any melee ARPG build is for some reason most of them require shouts/buffs. I hate that shit
Can I ask why? It’s very true to life.
@ they’re usually the only class in any given arpg that NEEDS them. Idk, I just don’t like having to balance shouts and buffs
armor break is easy btw when you build for stun. there is a support gem that breaks 100% armor when you heavy stun
I’m playing a titan and I was initially using slam skills nodes.
It is fun but I switched to hulking form, which I prefer because it boosts everything you do. So you can adapt your playstyle more efficiently because after some time you can’t rely only on slow attacks to do damage.

The start up video like this are the best! The rest you can always learn as playing.
Can u make one for each class?
Sure thing!

There is sound effect and an icon underneath the target name when it happens.
@@TheBlakamon15 Which icon is it?
@@kevinkelly1755the icon is a little different and you no longer have a number on it
@@noreluss What does the icon look like?
Just listen to the sound

I only use shout, no totems in my build. No need. I also made like a Blood Rager* if you're familiar with what that is from Pathfinder.

Not sure what you are on about, end game and not using shouts or totems. Don't watch a video and blindly follow them, be brave, try your own build

Side note I made a crumbling maul that had a ton of stun build up on it too.
@@jordank5551 guess I just need to keep suffering through lol. I'm 35 in act 3 and am getting 1 tapped. Vendors haven't had anything worthwhile and can barely farm with my current setup
Mid act 2 and have over 7.5k armory, 33% lightning and 55% fire resist. I can face tank the bosses without having to move.
I think you can start near the bleed nodes if you just start your warrior build as a mercenary. Gemling Legionairre scales really well with stats and Warriors can scale really well with Strength in general. I think that is what I want to try next.

The warrior can unlock armor breaking after the first trial so that hits break 10% of damage worth of armor which is pretty sweet.
Why does cast on stun not exist if cast on freeze exists?
I’m using stampede and it applies armor break to all.
Does sunder drop in act 2?
More like act 3. Good luck for the Dreadnought :/

Are you saying as a new player, start using warrior from act 1 to act 3 only die 4 times?? And you think people believe that?
I've played all six and warrior is the class i felt the least weak in act 1, other than a couple tricky boss fights. I felt like I one to two shot everything. It takes more work than my witch (highest lvl char) but if you're someone that likes weighty melee in games warrior has got it 💪
Yeah once you get act 2 it starts getting verry slow and act 3 if you jump in the middle of a pack you might just get deleted. 🤬
best build for warrior rn is to switch to monk and have fun leveling
Warrior hardest to level? I beg to differ. Try playing a Chaos Witch prioritizing DoT effects like Contagion and Essence Drain then get back to me. Theres a reason they're buffing Chaos DoT
Only on act 3 (regular) but enjoying the class.
They need to cut the fixed animation times by 1/3 to 1/2
I’m playing a warrior minion build absolutely destroying everything
re armor breaking. You do not need any skills for that. You break armor on stagger from your passive tree. If anything you are struggling not to break it fully so you can Boneshatter
Best thing I've done is went SRS and I'm tanky af also as well as doing insane damage
I don’t agree all u have to do is rolling slam into bone shatter then u learn leap slam and u just do that into bone shatter. On bosses and single target u just auto attack them and bone shatter and use perfect strike when u stun them
I Play mu own build. Use autoatacks with 2h wapons. Use bufs and cry. Use Rage, stuns on aa. No problem for all normal campain.
Nerf or not?
My warrior has been so easy leveling. The monk sucks ass for me. Im constantly struggling with it.
Idk man i went 2 handed the whole first play through since level 4. Im level 46, just finished acts 1-3. Im a titan, i slam shit, everyoone dies.

Warrior is trash right now. Clunky, slow, and lacking sustained dps. Coming from a lvl 84 Titan.
If you made it to lv 84 with a warrior than it is not trash.
you do not need sustained dps when everything dies in one hit. Warrior is perfectly fine (82 titan)
I'm using leap slam to build up stun on trash and finishing them off with boneshatter. For bosses, just standard melee swings to build stun, then yell at them with infernal and seismic and drop the hammer of gods on them.. pretty simple
huuhh?? warrior op as fuk. I been 1 to 2 shot all the bosses. Im in act 2 cruel now. just started act2.
Whatever bro. Where's the other classes on the poll bro ?
