The Executioner



Breakdown:


*UPDATED FOR 3.0*

Description:

Executioner is a classes similar to Darkrunner with less mobility. Based on your gear choice you can be a glass cannon or a you can try to be a little tankier. I take Strength/Stamina set (Obs leather) over a pure Strength set (Ayanad Flame) because I like to play as a in your face fighter style class over a glass cannon class, now gearing this way does lessen your damage output but not by much and the difference of melee attack you get using a Flame set is simply not worth losing the health an obs leather set gives you.

Weapons:

With Executioner it can adapt and use what ever melee weapon you want to an extent. Now I do not recommend using any type of axe except for the axe from Serp as an offhand.

Armor:

I recommend an obsidian leather set as your main set, but if you really want to get a plate set (Ayanad Sunset).

Skills:

BATTLERAGE:
-
grants delirium for every enemy hit with the 3rd swing, great for RVR.

-
only useable AFTER you are CC'd and no longer breaks
or
nor does it reduce physical damage anymore.

-
only really be used against casters.

-
,
, and
while under snare effect can't be used.

-
can now be used while you are
or
for people with witchcraft and occultism.

-
now adds 15% physical damage reduction decreasing debuffs by 35% but movement speed increase is removed while active.

-
pick this skill up only of if you are dual-wielding and drop
.

SHADOWPLAY:
-
has no purpose now unless you are using it to reduce healing.

-
used for a blood frenzy combo or to interrupt an enemy (mainly casters).

-
your only defense against snare.

-
does 98% more damage while in stealth.

-
when active also gives attack speed now.

-

-
while under
this skill increases its range by 10m.

-

OCCULTISM:
-
if you want to spec this it now decreases magic and physical accuracy on snared targets.

-
grants immunity to fear and slow now.

Rotations

There are many rotations the Executioner can use depending on who you're fighting. The more you fight a particular class the more you will learn to adapt. If you lose a fight take that experience as a way to learn from what you did wrong and to become better for the next fight. I recommend you study your class and the classes that you fight.

BasicCombo

Here's a few different openers you can start your initial trip with, keep in mind you always want to backstab.

    Gear


    **Here is a list of what I want and use this is at my discretion feel free to make changes and go for what suits you**

    Shoot for no lower then divine when it comes to regarding.

    LeatherArmor

  • Silent Shadow Fists

  • Silent Shadow Boots

  • Dark Warrior's Guards(7 set Serp guard)
  • Delphinad Lightning Belt


  • Cape
  • Delphinad Arrowflash Cloak


  • Weapon
    For Executioner, there is no best weapon for this class. With End game you can use multiple weapons to adapt to your situation.

    My personal opinion is that 2H obsidian greatsword is better overall. but with 3.0 Dual Wield is not bad especially with all the archer classes.

    For dual wield shortspear is the best main hand

    For Main hand I recommend
  • Ayanad Lake Shortspear


  • For Off hand I recommend
  • Moonsong Razor


  • For 2H I recommend
  • Kingsbane


  • Accessories
  • Ayanad Lightning Necklace

  • or
  • Archeum Evernight Necklace (Rank 13)


  • Ayanad Wave Earring
