Quote:@Alamara: Why not switch out the bloodslayer with a CC and gain the benefit of a shield? Two gold jewels will not be enough reach maximum to-hit, and that would be very bad for a low AC axe wielder. But using three will make you one resistance prefix short when using HoS. A shield will restore that resistance affix AND allow you to block, which is even more important than for a normal LAW since your attack rate will be slower.
It's well known that a CC can be used viably, even as a choice by an unrestricted warrior sometimes. I think that this will provide enough CTH though, with good jewels. Obviously anyone can make a good CC warrior, it's simply not a challenge to design any of 5 or 6 effective warrior builds. I'm attempting a new one.
50+85+60+20+cLvl-AC
215 + cLvl - AC(BK's/Soulies have 165).
50 + cLvl % CTH. That's enough in my book, as long as the Warrior is played intelligently. If you use a Gold/Heavens jewel in place of the obsid/Perf you get:
72.5 + cLvl % CTH. Which is perfect.
(Used this):
The to-hit displayed in character screen:
% = 50 + dex/2 + (to-hit% from items)
The final to-hit for a melee attack:
% = (to-hit%) + clvl + bonus - (AC of monster)
Perhaps at lower levels use an Obsidian/Precision helm. This makes your CTH 60+cLvl %, and has the effect of maxing resistances as well.
