MRD>WAR for PvP?

[Imapooonu]

Any other Warriors feeling this way so far? Just to point out a few things to get the conversation rolling...

-It's very difficult, not impossible, but difficult to stack wrath in PvP.

-You can use some cross class skills not available to a Warrior: Venom and Poison Arrow for example. Putting 3 dots on a running healer can be really handy.

-Since we're always attacked last, the extra hp pool becomes less relevant.

-The additional damage, along with the extra cross-class damage buffs seem very handy, again, because of being attacked last...usually.

These are just a couple points I bring up to try and justify my opinion. Any other food for thought or counter-arguments are very welcome.

What do you guys and gals think?

I like going as warrior because of the quick burst DMG with inner beast. I start off with defiance on and get a full stack of wrath, pop berserk and internal release, use holmgang, inner beast, brutal swing, pop infuriate then use inner beast again. This can usually kill a caster. Then I take off defance until infuriate is off CD.

Invigorate is another handy cross class that MRD gets over WAR. Useful for if you need to sprint and get TP back. Yes, enliven fills this role as well, but having two TP restores is pretty nice with all the sprinting going on.

I'm leaning towards MRD. The double Inner Beast combo is nice, but Raging Strikes gives you nice burst as well. Granted it has triple the cool down of infuriate.

U dont need invig if you have enliven (still good though). I contemplated about swapping to MRD, but not only do you lose alot of main stat you lose burst from double IB (600 potentcy + 200 mercy stroke) to nuke casters (to get b4b and raging strikes). However I have seen MRD do well in PVP. So its preference of play style i think. I have been critting IB for upwards 2k x 2 with Str pot and zerk so I like warrior haha.

Go MRD and never look back. With Eye for an Eye, Virus, Feint, Invigorate, Blood for Blood, Raging Strikes, Straight Shot. There is no reason to be a Warrior if you have these unlocked. Warrior Soulstone only gives you 10 STR 20 VIT, most of the time the VIT does nothing cause no one aims you, well with the exception if you are wielding a Allagan Axe and all it's shiny blue will attract everyone on you like milkshake and get motorboated.

I think is all on the Wep really, If you get the PVP wep tehn sure try it out. The extra STR from soul-stone like Taneshima mention its kinda obsolete to all the buff you can obtain. However i only got Bravura so im force to keep playing WAR till i get PVP wep then maybe ill switch. Here's a Video where i play more of a support and CC'ing the healers almost. I got about 70 Moral and about 408 Str (still got +30 to VIT for raid)
