Vanguard Sin Support


Attributes

Spear Mastery : 12

Critical Strikes : 12+1+3

Usage:

Maintain Critical Eye and Way of the master. Also maintain Critical agility. Use spear attacks as you feel, and disrupting throw to, well, interrupt... Use Sniper/Assasin as you want, but focus on bosses. With a little luck, you can in HM take out even 1k+ hp bosses pretty fast.

Variants:

Stunning Strike can be used instead of cruel spear. In that case it is also advised to get vicious attack.

Shouting Pious Boon Hammer


Attributes

Strength:10

Hammer Mastery:11+1+1

Earth Prayers:10

Usage

Offensive:Select a target, use enraging charge to catch up and get Adrenaline. AA and Power Attack until you have Heavy Blow charged. Use Heavy Blow the same second as You're all alone, followed by a deep wound causing Crushing Blow.

Chasing: Use You're all alone for Cripple and Bull's strike to knock down. If Crushing Blow is avaiable, use it.

Healing: Try to keep up Vital Boon as much as you can. Do NOT  use it while attacking or chasing a none-crippled/slowed target. If u need 248 health just use Signet of Pious Light. If you are in desperate need of healing, use SoPL again. If not its generally better to use Vital Boon and then SoPL

Notes

Any attack skill that non-adrenaline is fine instead of power attack.

Overbearing Smash(Anti-caster), that causes Daze or Belly Smash(Anti-physical), that makes all foes around Blind, is a alternative instead of Crushing Blow.

Personally I only use this in Fort Aspenwood and sometimes Jade Quarry.

Sword Tank/General Sword Warrior
Variants PvE

Attributes

Swordsmanship=12+1/12+1+1

Strength=12+1/12 Usage

Use Enraging Charge to get to enemys and to build adrenaline. Use SB/R/DR when attacked/pressured/targeted as defense. Use Hamstring in PvP, to Cripple and snare people. Keep up Defy Pain as much as possible. You can use Lions Comfort as much as needed. Dodge this can be used anywhere or time, but preferably at Final Thrust at a foe at <50% for a >130 dmg against a squishy. Feel no Pain can be used anytime to, but preferably while under heavy attack.

Notes


 * This build can be used pretty much everywhere for quite a bit of damage. For tanking and DPS. A decent runner if you got some adrenaline for Defy Pain.
 * Also if meeting alot of undead/non-fleshy, switch Gash (and Barbaroud Slice to if you want) and change to pretty much anything. Pure strike/Power Attack or Protectors Strike is fine.
 * You can also change Defy Pain into pretty much any other elite skill...
