Best 19 War sword and board setups.

Title says it all, I am looking to get a SF if this is any viable.



Ive beat many warriors that use sword and board with str8 BaR. Any opionions and/or advice?
 
deadskull-stam/butcher-LS (max stam set/defensive set)

redbeared-stam/SF-crusader (burst startset)

blocking-spike/butcher-LS or SF-crusader (melee counterset)
 
Or you can just look like a badass and roll deadskull+spike and a shadowfang w/ sader cuz we all know looking cool is much more important than viability.
 
In my battlegroup there's only one warrior who can beat me (if he gets charge in and I don't blow any CDs but he uses all of his its still a good fight) He uses a SF lifestealing and a Deadskull shield w/ spike. Very good combo LS is excelent for 1hers on warriors for 1v1
 
there've been a couple of discussions about this recently. Personally i believe that 'sader should go on SF and switched to glacial/runic/smites/BAR w/e with fiery on when sadr procs. For a defensive set use LS and only put it on SF if you have 2 imo.
 
What is peoples Opinion on Using [ITEM]Venerable Mass of McGowan[/ITEM]

for one hander? I been thinking about using it and I dont see why it wouldnt be good



at 19 its has



15 dps

3 agil

4 stam

4 AP

2 Crit
 
Its good, no doubt, but its not a Shadowfang.
 
Venerable has less dps, less ap inexchange for a small amount of crit. I havent done the maths but CB seems better to me, a better dps 1h. Vs Butchers, it has less dps, equal stam and no str, not as good a defensive wep. Theyre both cheaper too.

Ofc neither are as good as SF.



Edit: sorry double post
 
Warsongs-



Shadowfang +Crusader or Cruel Barb +Crusader if you dont have it yet. Switch to BAR or Smites with +15 Strength or +25 Agility, either works great.



Butchers +Lifestealing with Sheild spike against rogues. You will need the extra hp and proc to outlive double fierys.



Arenas-



Shadowfang +Lifestealing all the way.
 
spike is crap TBH... only useful against melee classes and barely ever procs. youll see about a 1% dmg increase if you're lucky... just go for stam always.
 
Have you ever tried defenders shield of blocking with a shield spike in duel? (with sf of course) Against rogues its amazing pop shield block and revenge a couple times and they praactically kill themselves





EDIT::: give that sf a LS and ur good to go

wierd when i played with my warrior it proced alot atleast 5-6times a duel =P



EDIT::: little aggsageration lol, bout 3-4times
 
Ive got a spare shield of blocking lol that setup is painful to get around when i c tht i usually pop dual agis and outlast through crits and dodge (tht still works yes)
 
For just balance best option is.



Shadow Fang - Lifestealing



Redbeards Crest - 7 Stamina
