This is kind of like a thumper, but with higher damage rather than knockdowns, and the ability to heal yourself rather than evading.

Weapons: Zealous Sword of Defense/Fortitude, Focus with +30 health always, and whatever other mods you want on it.
Armor: +10 AL while in a stance.
Pet Evolution: Preferably Dire for the extra damage.

Attributes:
12 Swordsmanship
11 Beasmastery (+1+2)
11 Expertise (+3)
8 Wilderness Survival (+1)

Skills:
Quivering Blade (E)
Gash
Bestial Fury/Tiger's Fury
Troll Ungeant
Feral Lunge
Apply Poison
Comfort Animal
Charm Animal

This build has a simple learning curve, and it's obvious how to use it, so I won't explain. Except that you use Feral Lunge to cause Bleeding on a foe, and then Gash for the Deep Wound.

It doesn't have a way to stop a foe from running, but I wiped out an RA team full of casters and rangers in less than a minute as the only damage dealer. Obviously the other team sucked, but you get an idea of how great the damage is.
If I remember right, it can kill a 60AL Target Dummy in like 5 or 6 seconds.

Seems like it should work.

Mmh am I wrong or Feral Lounge causes bleeding only on attacking foes? If it is the case it would be way too conditional, any competent caster would simply avoid attacking making 2 skills on your bar completely useless (Gash too); wouldn't Sever Artery be better?

Your points seem a little bit too spread out, try lowering Expertise to 9 and Wilderness to 5 and buff Beast Mastery maybe...

I tried something like that for PvE awhile ago. I don't really know why I stopped...

More importantly, where are you finding these armor dummies?

Also, the attributes seem to work fine for me as they are. If I lowered WS and Expertise, and raised BM, I'd get a little extra damage at the expense of a couple points of regeneration and less energy management (although a tiny amount less).

The Training Dummies are outside of the Great Temple of Balthazaar, where PvP characters start out.
