At least you're in top 300. They don't have a tag at all.

In other words, at least you have something to go by (guild), and they don't.

@ LigtningHell - I don't think that being a member of a ranked GvG guild automatically makes you an expert on PvE. (I'm not knocking Thom's advice.)

On-Topic - In the end, it comes down to your style of play. I like to run an adrenaline heavy build, using Glads and a Totem Axe to fuel my startups. Which ones I use depends on the make-up of the mobs. I sometimes bring a self-heal but seldom use it. Maybe I'm foolish, but I depend on the monk(s) to do their job, while I do mine.

Try out the different suggestions and see which bars you are more comfortable with.

And it's not theory, I've played the game for quite some time, though I stopped playing warrior when I started flagging for a couple top 100 guilds, quit HA, and the PVP character creation became amazing, so getting a warrior properly equipped became completely worthless. I ran eviscerate for quite a while in pve, found the skill fairly useless in good teams since the spike damage it provides is unneeded while hacking at non-kiting, non-healing bots (ok, they do it to an extent, but nothing to actually care about) so I found cleave to be slightly better. Dragon Slash is better, but if you want an axe build you go cleave, because it's the best DPS skill the line has to offer (while remaining consistent, at least).

I rather trust a person from Moa Birds that I don't know than the wammo screaming his ass off. I really mean it literally when I say "at least something to go by".

But yes, most of the skills he listed were kinda useless. Crippling Slash has been used before, though, and I'm sure someone can find a Triple Chop farming build, but other than that, not much I can say.

On second thoughts Crippling Slash is just plain stupid to bring along in PvE.
