Primate Murder -> RE: Gear advice for a pure Warrior build (6/19/2021 2:20:51)

Welcome back!
Even at 0 Cha, Therndas and Dunamii remain the best pet and guest for an all-melee FO warrior (well, with the exception of more element-specific boosters).
Weapons
I would suggest fire for your no-drop element, mostly because it lacks any exceptional shields.
Keep Kindred for autohit and Zealot's for damage.
If you're up to buying premium packages, Airenal's Lance compresses an armor with the strongest wind skill.
Your Mighty Blade of Frostval Past has great synergy with any ice nuke and SFP.
Terra Bloodzerker Sword is the strongest earth weapon in the game.
Royal Voidrender compresses Harm.
Eclipsed Dragonlord's Might restores a notable amount of sp based on the number of hits dealt. Great synergy with Werewolf's 4-hit Beast Form.
Armors
Blazing Bloodzerker remains the best fire armor. Quenching, Terra and Voltaic variants are also the best for their respective elements.
Horo Show compresses the strongest ice skill.
In case you're unaware, the Paladin class has been revamped, becoming hands down the best light armor in the game. Its stongest nuke (Inner Light > Overwhelming Light) is about as strong as WKZ, and it has a wide range of other skills, toggles and passives to enhance your damage and survivability.
Angel of Souls has a weapon-based darkness skill that costs hp instead of sp.
Shields
Hyper-alphean Skjoldr allows you to auto-block one hit each battle.
Fujin set shield has a Dex toggle, providing a small boost to your accuracy and blocking.
Defender of Frostval Past gives a free qc DefBoost once per battle.
Chieftain's Ironthorn remains the best earth shield for warriors.
Mystic Father Time, the best energy shield, is currently in LTS. Make sure to pick it up.
Generally, people pick up Shieldcake if they can afford the package.
Eclipsed Dragonlord's Will has a qc skill that grants a stacking Barrier effect - great synergy with Purple Rain.
Spells
Pick up Thernda to replace Dunamis on Ranged skills (like Horo Show and LotS). Lightnaut, Necromoglin, Chilly and Ramssy (URs) provide a larger boost, but only to attacks of their own element (energy, darkness, ice, fire).
Runic Binding gives you a Harm nuke.
Purple Rain is the centerpiece of the current meta. It acts as a saving point - cast it once to save your current hp/mp/sp, cast all your quickcast buffs/debuffs - then cast it again to regain all resources spent. Some of the SPells you can use in a Purple Rain loop:
- Your New Year's Surprise
- Invincible Star (great for monsters with Freedom).
- Buffalot Beach Bod (premium). A qc Str boost.
- Imbues change the element of your attack (weapon or weapon-based or old standard skill) to a different one and come with nifty effects. For example, you can use Fire Dragon Talon to shift Horo Show nuke to fire with 50% damage bonus, or use Dragonslayer Aura to deal Void damage against dragons.
- Arms of the Dragonguard (not qc) make your next attack an automatic Lucky Strike.
Pets
Aside from Thernda and Dunamis, there are also Chilly, Ramssy and Necromoglin pets (premium) that boost the damage of your attacks.
Kindred Tranquility. So you Kindred sword has the charges to autohit every turn.
Miscs
Essence Orb, Blood Contract and Helm of Frostval Past cover your basics.
Shadowfeeder Pendant can stack qc celerity - completely broken synergy with Purple Rain and Essence Orb.
Zfinity Gauntlet: Time can 1/battle inflict a qc guaranteed stun.
Zfinity Gauntlet: Power can stack qc EleVulns to boost your damage.
Prime Chaos Orb (UR GGBs) has a qc skill that allows you to scramble monster resists, while boosting the damage it takes.
Bag of Mixed Nuts provides a number of options for any situation.
Hope the info's useful and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
