I definitely appreciate anyone who shares their hard work and content here, but I wish video guides weren't so ubiquitous these days. I can read faster, and written guides are better for quick/later reference.

[Catastrophy]

They are not so ubiquitous as you might think, at least for multiplayer. Single-player is an entirely different story.

 

Aside, I have found that mixing various amount of text info along with the video on here means that people will not watch the video (which is what I spent the most hard work on), but if I have no text guide, people complain about not having one.

 

At this point, I'll leave the text guides to others. The glorious thing about the ubiquity of guides in general is that if you don't want to watch video guides, there are also tons of text guides or a mix of the two available. Drasca has text build guides for about everything. 

Putting in a synopsis might get you a view AFTER people have finished work - just sayin'....

Was this done on threatening? Missed it if you said what the difficulty was :/ can't tell you how many times I've seen people try to pull similiar builds off in PUGS, and die horribly. Guess it just goes to show that player skill is much in this game ^,^ great guide though, sadly I've just got something against the a.w or else id try it myself

Not quite. Just the builds listed, and not the guide part. Wish I had time for the guide write-ups, but writing about mastery takes a lot of time because there's a lot more that needs to be covered.

If we're talking about maximizing efficiency with the arcane warrior, then this is not it. Stonefist is a waste, going ranged as an AW is a waste.

Maybe I'll do my own video, cuz I'm tired of seeing bad arcane warrior builds.

People like playing and experimenting with different builds. Using the same build over and over again is boring as ****.

Using the argument of playing a crappy build because its "different" isn't an excuse that I acknowledge.

I see the mods were on top of that one pretty fast. Good job I guess.

[BioWareMod03]

Let's keep it civil in here everyone.

Stonefist is a waste? I disagree. Sundering, and it's "oh crap" capability, can make the spirit sword even more effective.

dispel has such limited use, there is NO way that i would drop chain lightning for it.  it DOES tho, have a cool cast animation, so if u were big into posing on the challenge complete screen, Dispel is the best..

If you wanna use the same POTA-->FC over and over, good on you son.

That and I frequently Dispel two things at once, instantly granting me full Barrier. That's pretty shiny, especially when being pinged by those pesky Wraiths on Perilous.

 

Dispel, dispel all the incapacitate Primers! To all, don't forget Dispel is a detonator too. Particularly useful to dispel stun and sleeping targets.

[Drasca]

*facepalm* Yeah I forgot to mention that! It's great with an Alchemist or Archer using Knockout Bomb!

 

...Or you can be a troll like me and steal the detonation of a Templar's wombo combo. 

 

That's the whole point of getting Dispel isn't it?

[Catastrophy]

Check the OP. Was that what you meant by a synopsis?

100% better now.

[Drasca]

Now, if only Dispel would strip Barriers from Arcane Warriors... 

 

That's what leading the RTC ESS onto AW's is for. Icemine and DC too.

[holdenagincourt]

I would beg to differ. At first, I just forgot it was there and focused on the other three skills. Once I set my mind on using it, I found it has a lot more use. Granted, yes, it is less useful against Red Templars because they only have one class that has barrier (Horror) and do not really inflict status affects on your allies. I wish I could Dispel the Behemoth's Thunderdone... that would be pretty sweet. *hint hint BioWare* Conversely, Demons are the heaviest on barriers and status effects. Venatori are in the middle.

EDIT: And it's an Eldritch Detonator! If you have a class with a nice AoE incapacitate, like Knockout Bomb or Wrath of Heaven, Dispel can detonate for some massive damage!

 

I did enjoy my AW build with Dispel, along with Chain Lightning and Stonefist for AOE sleep. There is a bit of lag time between priming the sleep and detonating with Dispel because of mana, but it's not very long at all because of his mana regen passives. This was a very nice build for me because I duo with a friend who frequently uses Assassin, and sleeping targets obviously help with Twin Fangs target tracking!   I liked Fury of the Veil because the frequent Veilstrike proc caused targets to clump up in groups, making the sleep hit more people.

 

With those three skills my AW played more at range, which meant I could help my team by dispelling DC fear, Venatori barriers, mines etc. One thing I love about this game is there is a strong incentive to keep trying new builds and strategies, because you're rewarded for promoting and starting again.
