Apothecary bug, small but usefull


This is nothing big or awesome, but still usefull.

If you make potions, in early levels (i'm not high yet), it asks you to place 2 water bottles in the lower part of the apothecary window.

Place 1 bottle in the first, and a stack of 20 in the second.

It will now say: This recipe will definitly succeed. - This is normal..

Make your potion and your first bottle of water shall dissapear as usual, as you have used up your single bottle in the first slot.

Now your left with your second (middle) box filled with another 19 bottles.

But it will still definitly succeed anyway!

Perhaps this is usefull and less expencive on higher levels, i just started.

Still thought it could be usefull for some of you.

Warhammer Online Builds - White Lion Template



This was rather a difficult choice for a template. You can choose to strengthen yourself, your pet, or both. I would normally select "myself", however after quite a bit of debate I went with choosing "both" which is the path of "The Hunter". This choice was made for no other reason then for the end game PvP viability of the build. Top three stats:

  • Strength = Increased melee damage

  • Wounds = Increased hit points

  • Toughness = Lowers incoming damage.


The 25 points will be placed as follows: (There will be a few extra points due to RvR rewards, however we will not use them here)

15 in "The Hunter"
Buy all skills in "The Hunter" tree for one point each. I know this is very unusual as I do not like getting all the skills in a single tree line, however for this build I will make an exception.


The last 4 points will be put in "The Guardian" tree. Any additional points should also be placed in "The Guardian", there is no reason to buy the bottom skill in the tree.

80 RvR points to be placed in:

  • Might level 1 = 1 point

  • Might level 2 = 3 points

  • Might level 3 = 6 points

  • Might level 4 = 10 points

  • Might level 5 = 14 points


  • Fortitude level 1 = 1 point

  • Fortitude level 2 = 3 points


  • Assault level 1 = 2 points

  • Assault level 2 = 4 points

  • Assault level 3 = 6 points


  • Opportunist level 1 = 5 points

  • Opportunist level 2 = 10 points

  • Opportunist level 3 = 15 points


The purpose of this build is to be able to do your own thing with minimal management of your pet. While you will still need to keep an eye on him and manage him to an extent, you will not have to micromanage him. You will be able to kill caster easy and with "Pounce", they will never know where you came from. This build will give you more then enough DPS and enough survival to rip up either the front or back of the enemies line of combat.

Here are the planned active morale skills:

  • Level 1 = Sever Nerve

  • Level 2 = Flying Axe

  • Level 3 = Dominance

  • Level 4 = Blade and Claw


Slotted Tactics can be changed "on the fly", as long as you are not in combat. Since there are 5 quick slots available, I would use each one in a different situation. One for PvP fight, one for PvE Group, and one for PvE solo. Here is my choice for a "PvP fight":

  • Brute Force

  • Pack Hunting

  • Lion Heart

  • Hack and Slash


Build Strength:
All around decent DPS and survival skills.

Build Weakness:

Since this is a well rounded build there really are not any weaknesses.

Warhammer Online Build: Engineer Template



This build should get you up and running as a "medium" range specialist. This means that you will have to remain a little more mobile then a long range specialist, as you will always need to be "on the move".

  • Ballistic Skill = Increased ranged damage.

  • Wounds = Increased hit points

  • Toughness = Lowers incoming damage.


The 25 points will be placed as follows: (There will be a few extra points due to RvR rewards, however we will not use them here)

15 in "The Grenadier" The following skills should be purchased for one point each:

  • Sticky Bomb

  • Throwing Arm

  • Strafing Run

  • Bandolier

  • Napalm grenade

  • Artillery Barrage


The following skill should not be purchased: "Extra Powder" The last 4 points will be put in the "Tinkerer" tree. Any additional points should also be placed in the Tinkerer tree, there is no reason to buy the bottom skill in the tree.

80 RvR points to be placed in:

  • Marksmen level 1 = 1 point

  • Marksmen level 2 = 3 points

  • Marksmen level 3 = 6 points

  • Marksmen level 4 = 10 points

  • Marksmen level 5 = 14 points


  • Fortitude level 1 = 1 point

  • Fortitude level 2 = 3 points

  • Sure Shot level 1 = 5 points

  • Sure Shot level 2 = 10 points

  • Sure Shot level 3 = 15 points


As far as AP, range, and DPS go, this should be your best build. As mentioned you have to be mobile with this build, however that should not be a problems.

Here are the planned active morale skills:

  • Level 1 = Point - Blank

  • Level 2 = Unshakable Focus

  • Level 3 = Cannon Smash

  • Level 4 = Artillery Barrage


Slotted Tactics can be changed "on the fly", as long as you are not in combat. Since there are 5 quick slots available, I would use each one in a different situation. One for PvP fight, one for PvE Group, and one for PvE solo. Here is my choice for a "PvP fight":

  • Steady Aim

  • Throwing Arm

  • Tangling Wire

  • Bandolier


Build Strength:

Great medium range AOE damage, with some added CC.


Build Weakness:

Cannot sit still in one place to long on a mobile battlefield

Warhammer Online Build - Ironbreaker template


I have to admit I am really upset with this class. I put a lot of time and effort into researching a class before I go and attempt a template, and in this case, it was a waste of time. Not only is the choice so obvious, it is also very much OP compared to the other classes. This is not only due to the fact of the classes abilities and strengths, however the same tree is both extremely viable for PvP AND PvE, a simple slotted tactic change is all that is needed to switch between the two. The three stats:

  • Strength = Increased melee damage

  • Wounds = Increased hit points

  • Toughness = Lowers incoming damage.



The 25 points will be placed as follows: (There will be a few extra points due to RvR rewards, however we will not use them here)

15 in "Vengeance""
Buy all the skills in the "Vengeance" tree for one point each. This is really a "no brainer" here.

The last 4 points will be put in the "Brotherhood" tree. Any additional points should also be placed in "The Guardian", there is no reason to buy the bottom skill in the tree.

80 RvR points to be placed in:

  • Might level 1 = 1 point

  • Might level 2 = 3 points

  • Might level 3 = 6 points

  • Might level 4 = 10 points

  • Might level 5 = 14 points


  • Fortitude level 1 = 1 point

  • Fortitude level 2 = 3 points


  • Assault level 1 = 2 points

  • Assault level 2 = 4 points

  • Assault level 3 = 6 points


  • Opportunist level 1 = 5 points

  • Opportunist level 2 = 10 points

  • Opportunist level 3 = 15 points


Let's face it, this is War in "easy mode". Build up your "Grudge" to max and use the skills in the "Vengeance" tree as you desire. Going from empty to full Grudge in a PvP scenario should take you about 10-15 seconds. The only two skills that you should use, that actually spends Grudge is "Ancestor's Fury",(As a temp buff) and "Away With Ye".(For the knock back) The Destruction version of this class is the Blackguard, I greatly encourage you to look at that classes skills and skills in the class trees. You will not only see a great imbalance, but also that this class needs nerfed pretty bad.

Here are the planned active morale skills:

  • Level 1 = Rock Clutch

  • Level 2 = Raze

  • Level 3 = Gromril Plating

  • Level 4 = Strength in Numbers


Slotted Tactics can be changed "on the fly", as long as you are not in combat. Since there are 5 quick slots available, I would use each one in a different situation. One for PvP fight, one for PvE Group, and one for PvE solo. Here is my choice for a "PvP fight":

  • Sweet Revenge

  • Overprotective

  • Great Axe Mastery

  • Powered Etchings


Build Strength:

Overpowered DPS and abilities for a tank. To switch into PvE mode all you need to do is switch your tactics out.

Build Weakness:

While this build is OP for PvP, and you can switch into PvE mode with the change of tactics, you will not be the best of the PvE builds. While My focus is on PvP, just thought I would give this little warning: You cannot "main tank" in end game PvE with this build.

  • Level 4 = Rain of Steel

  • Steady Aim

  • Guerrilla Training

  • Instinctive Aim

  • Enchanted Arrows


Build Strength:

Decent ranged DPS, including above average AOE damage.

Build Weakness:

No melee skills, as such STAY at range using this build.

Warhammer Online build - Swordmaster Template



This will be a PvP tank build. I am not going to concentrate on damage at all here as a tank class is almost always on the bottom of DPS even when they go 2H. Instead I wanted to focus on being all you can be by supporting your team in making you almost like a turtle. With this build you can easily cave in front lines as you run threw them going to the healers and nukers in the back. You primary stats:

  • Wounds = adds to hit points

  • Toughness = reduces incoming damage by a %

  • Strength = adds to melee damage

  • (A close 4th would be initiative)
  • Initiative = Increases your chance to dodge ranged attacks, detect stealthed opponents and makes it more difficult for enemies to critically hit you.


The 25 points will be placed as follows: (There will be a few extra points due to RvR rewards, however we will not use them here)

15 in "Vaul"
Buy the following skills in the Vaul tree for one point each:
  • Perfect Defenses

  • Redirected Force

  • Crushing Advance

  • Vaul's Buffer

  • Crashing Wave

  • Shield of Valor


Skills in the tree you do not buy: "Lingering Intimidation".

The last 4 points will be put in the "Hoeth" tree. Any additional points should also be placed in "Hoeth", there is no reason to buy the bottom skill in the tree.

80 RvR points to be placed in:

  • Fortitude level 1 = 1 point

  • Fortitude level 2 = 3 points

  • Fortitude level 3 = 6 points

  • Fortitude level 4 = 10 points

  • Fortitude level 5 = 14 points


  • Impetus level 1 = 1 point

  • impetus level 2 = 3 points


  • Assault level 1 = 2 points

  • Assault level 3 = 6 points


  • Arcane Dismissal level 1 = 5 points

  • Arcane Dismissal level 2 = 10 points

  • Arcane Dismissal level 3 = 15 points


The purpose of this build is to be able to take the most punishment through damage mitigation, crashing through the frontlines of PvP to harass the ranged nukers and ranged healers, without fear of death. You may wish to implement this template late in the leveling process as it would be hard to PvE solo with this build.

Here are the planned active morale skills:

  • Level 1 = Champion's Challenge

  • Level 2 = Wings of Heaven

  • Level 3 = Bladeshield

  • Level 4 = Shield of Valor


Slotted Tactics can be changed "on the fly", as long as you are not in combat. Since there are 5 quick slots available, I would use each one in a different situation. One for PvP fight, one for PvE Group, and one for PvE solo. Here is my choice for a "PvP fight":

  • Rugged

  • Unstoppable Juggernaut

About the best damage mitigation you are going to get as far as a template goes.

Dark Elf Black Guard review



Overview:
Not just any Dark Elf can hold the relished title of Black Guard. As the elite guards of the Witch King Lord Malekith, these soldiers are cool, efficient, and show no mercy to anyone in combat. Deadly with a halberd, they stand on the front lines of battle and protect their group with the ferocity you'd see from of any good tank. This class adds more variety to the battlefield and finally breaks up the Chosen/Black Orc duo.

Strengths:
  • Damage actually increases attack power

  • Can use a Halberd vs sword and board

  • Abilities aren't based on Action Points


Weaknesses:
  • Lack of ranged attacks mean combat must be up close

  • Has trouble defending against ranged DPS classes

  • Class is still being adjusted


PvE Overview
Black Guards are an offensive tank who utilize hate mechanics very similar to the Grudge of the Iron Breaker. When damage is taken, or Action Points expended it allows the use of certain abilities which can translate into attacks, buffs, or debuffs.

In a group, the Black Guard has a very clear tanking role which will put them right in the mix. They can be speced to serve a variety of playstyles which can include increasing block, parry, or focusing on debuffs and damage. They willl pull their weight as well as any Chosen or Black Orc

RvR Overview
The Black Guard has a very simple role in RvR, to rush the enemy with a focus on ranged casters and healers. While they will need a healer themselves to be effective, pairing up with an Chosen or Black Orc could prove to be a very dangerous combination.

In a keep siege a Black Guard will likely find themselves trying to hold a doorway or keeping ranged classes busy by charging. In more open situations, a solid tank like this can occupy a number of DPS which would have normally targetted weaker classes. Plan to make room in your warband for plenty of these as they are sure to be popular.

Empire Knight of the Blazing Sun Review



Overview:
Heavily armored, notoriously crafty and exceptionally dangerous at close when in the midst of their troops, the Knight of the Blazing Sun should be a prime target for any assault. If you are able to strike down the Knight, his allies will become demoralized and weakened by panic – making them far easier to defeat. Be wary of the fact that – unlike members of other knightly orders – the Knights of the Blazing Sun are not at all averse to trickery and feel no obligation to engage their foes with what some regard as “honor.” A Knight of the Blazing Sun is more than willing to disarm an opponent and then take their head.

Knight of the Blazing Sun Quick Info
  • Faction: Order

  • Race: Empire

  • Role: Tank

  • Armor: Heavy

  • Primary Weapons: Sword

  • Primary Stats: Strength, Toughness



  • Strengths:
    • Uses AE to buff allies and debuff enemies

    • Uses shields for long survivability

    • Uses damage reflection to mitigate attacks against them


    Weaknesses:
    • Lack of ranged attacks mean combat must be up close

    • Has trouble defending against ranged DPS classes

    • Class is still being adjusted


    PvE Overview
    Knights of the Blazing Sun affect the battle through the use of Battlefield Commands which debuff enemies and buff allies. Using a sword and shield they are strong enough to sustain an enormous amount of damage.

    In a group, the Knight has a clear tanking role which will put them on the front lines of any engagement. They can be speced for specific Battlefield Command sets but can do increased damage, buffing, or debuffing to suit the situation. Truly excelling while working with a healer and DPS, they make an exceptional addition and can replace any Ironbreaker or Swordmaster if necessary.

    RvR Overview
    The Knight has a very simple role in RvR, to rush the enemy with a focus on ranged casters and healers. While they will need a healer themselves to be effective, pairing up with an Ironbreaker or Swordmaster will prove to be a very dangerous combination.

    In a keep siege a Knight will likely find themselves trying to hold a doorway or tying up a Black Orc or Chosen. In more open situations, a solid tank like this can occupy a number of DPS which would have normally been targetting weaker classes. They will take damage, and lots of it all for the glory of their group.

    Knight of the Blazing Sun Mastery Paths
    Path of Conquest: Knights who choose the Path of Conquest will become experts at pushing the battle line forward. Their battlefield commands focus on bolstering the fighting strength of their allies to take advantage of their opponent's weaknesses. Knights focused on Conquest traditionally forego the use of a sword and shield in favor of the more offensively oriented great sword.

    Path of Vigilance: The Path of Vigilance focuses on building a strong defense to cripple opponents and protect allies. Knights choosing this mastery have a variety of commands that will increase their defensive prowess as well as those of nearby allies. This allows them to dig in and hold against almost any assault. Masters of the Path of Vigilance generally choose a stout shield and broadsword combination when defending their allies.

    Path of Glory: Knights mastering the Path of Glory excel at inspiring troops to ever greater feats of courage. As such, these Knights can be found almost anywhere on the battlefield leading by example and are a welcome addition to both defensive and offensive maneuvers. Glory can be found regardless of arms and armor, and as such Knights of this mastery can be found wielding either a great sword or sword and shield combination.

    Warhammer Online build - Witch Hunter Template



    This will be a "Anti healer/tank" build. Because you put out enough DPS, there is really no reason to worry about ranged DPS. Healers and tanks are what dictate who wins a battle. As such, your three most important stats will be:

    Strength = adds to melee damage
    Wounds = adds to hit points
    Initiative = Increases your chance to dodge ranged attacks, detect stealthed opponents and makes it more difficult for enemies to critically hit you.

    The 25 points will be placed as follows: (There will be a few extra points due to RvR rewards, however we will not use them here)

    15 in "Inquisition"
    Buy the following skills in the Inquisition tree for one point each:
    Full Confession
    Seal of Destruction
    Punish the False
    Encourage Confession
    Exit Wound
    Excommunication

    Skills in the tree you do not buy: "Prolonged Confession".

    The last 4 points will be put in the "Confession" tree. Any additional points should also be placed in "Confession", there is no reason to buy the bottom skill in the tree.

    80 RvR points to be placed in:

    Might level 1 = 1 point
    Might level 2 = 3 points
    Might level 3 = 6 points
    Might level 4 = 10 points
    Might level 5 = 14 points

    Impetus level 1 = 1 point
    impetus level 2 = 3 points

    Assault level 1 = 2 points
    Assault level 2 = 4 points
    Assault level 3 = 6 points

    Reflexes level 1 = 5 points
    Reflexes level 2 = 10 points
    Reflexes level 3 = 15 points

    The purpose of this build is to take out the two most important classes in a PvP battle.

    Here are the planned active morale skills:

    Level 1 = Sever Nerve
    Level 2 = Force of Will
    Level 3 = Broad Swings
    Level 4 = Excommunicate

    Slotted Tactics can be changed "on the fly", as long as you are not in combat. Since there are 5 quick slots available, I would use each one in a different situation. One for PvP fight, one for PvE Group, and one for PvE solo. Here is my choice for "PvP fight":

    Full Confession
    Flowing Accusation
    Encourage Confession
    Brute Force

    Build Strength:

    Flexible between against a healer or tank.

    Build Weakness:

    Not as hardcore in outright DPS. I feel the trade off is easily worth it.
