I've been toying with ideas over the last week since I started up my warrior again. My budget is not high enough to go super high end, but enough for a decent build. My main concern is the rate/cd combination. A lot of wa's seem to like the ~39-43% range for rate because it allows for higher cd, however since critting is so important to this class anything under 50 seems a bit low. One thing I am confident of is I want my GS to be pure damage(72-80%), but the ring/helm setup is where I'm having difficulty deciding.

I don't have enough to go 15/24, however 12/24 is possible for helm, as well as 7/34 but not 7/40. And obviously I cannot afford a rol+2.

I don't have merg yet, but I will sometime in the future.

So essentially I could get pc damage helm, with 30% rate gained from rings and 1 from pet/3 from kred for 39 rate. Or I could go with an extended helm (rate or damage is up in the air) and just do merg + rol + cr2 x2.


Until I decide I've just been using 8/20 helm & 30 rate from rings(3rol 1cr2).


So basically any ring/helm setup to go with my damage weapon for an optimal budget build would be appreciated. (~4.5b to spend on gs/helm/runes(just hp for now, will budget in the rest later)/another cr2 since one was lost during auto-rollback)

Thanks kind citizens of Navareth~

PS: If it makes any difference, I plan on being mainly a dungeon/bossing build over purely PVP.
