    Introduction

    Hello!
    I'm Thalothean from Hazak, I'm 22 years old and I am from Sweden.
    I've played Wildstar since 1 week post-launch and been playing a Warrior since in pvp and I fell in love with the class since I always lean towards melee and dmg/control oriented.

    Previously to Wildstar I've been playing World of Warcraft for about 8 years now with some sporadic breaks and and climbed to 2.2k and got duelist as enhance as top achievement in PvP.

    Besides WoW I've played Warhammer Online, LOTRO, SWTOR and Neverwinter.


    Stats:




    Basic

    This build is using the Kinetic Fury AMP to enhance the damage output over Recklessness which increases AP rather than dmg%. This gives you 7.5% increased dmg at 500+ KE and 9% at 750+ KE so with this build its important that you maintain a high KE and to help you with that you have Kinetic Drive AMP for downtimes for generation of KE
    Your slow is Festering Blade that stacks on all hits made up to 3 times and gives 8% each (24% max)

    At the moment I'm using
    as well. The damage buff is nice for burst moments as well as
    &
    during sustain phase.

    LAS



    - This is your gapclose but the dmg reduction component built into it is why I prefer this over
    in any pvp envoirment

    - Your KE builder. T4 gives you a chance to reduce KE decay and T8 has a 20% chance to reset your
    &


    - Gives you a 15% Dmg buff for 10 seconds.

    - With Drop 3 they revamped this ability and honestly, I thought it was gonna be trash, but it turns out that its still quite strong and the T8 detonate sure is. Channel time of this ability is now 2s down from 3s. Sadly it doesn't provide movement speed nor IA anymore so timing the use of this is now essential to get the most out of it.

    - The warrior class's knockdown. Breaks 1 IA

    - The bread and butter assault ability for warriors, does by far the most damage out of all our damaging attacks and should be used when its off CD.

    - Pulls 2 of your foes towards you and root them in place briefly. Breaks 1 IA

    - Breaks all CC's and gives you immunity for 3.2 seconds afterwards. Can be used offensivly when you are gonna burst.



    Priority

    When playing this build you have a priority list that you should follow that makes this build work,

    >
    >


    You have no set rotation. Just try to
    when you can but preferably over 500/750 KE, using
    after Rampage + 1x
    to avoid the faster KE decay.



    Video



    Me playing some arena with this build. Got a few shots on individual mistakes as well since I never liked videos who show people just stomping their way thru. Outdated video, I'll try to get a new one up as soon as I can.

    Pros&Cons


    Pro's
    High spike and sustain damage with
    &
    together


    Cons
    KE Management is tougher than the average warrior build
    Prone to interrupts during channel of
