I don't personally, but I've seen 16 Tactics builds using "Victory is Mine!," Balanced Stance, Desperation Blow, and Thrill of Victory which supposedly worked pretty well I guess.

Soloing UW is the only place I have 16 tactics (159 health healing signet gogogo). Otherwise, weapon to 16.

I run 15 (12+2+1) in Tactics and 13 in Sword/Axe

Soldiers Strike
Thrill of Victory
Standing Slash
Soldiers Stance
Watch Yourself!
Soldiers Defense
Mending Touch
Heal Sig

With Nightfalls new Soldier line of skills, it became worth it.
The 3 attacks each do +40, +45 and +36.
You do need to keep up Watch Yourself at all times to gain the most out of the Soldier skills.

Only time i've run 16 strength was the W/D Scythe build and briefly while running for the uber Signet of Stamina.
I guess the same goes for tactics during Riposte farming.

16 tactics only for solo builds, 16 strength is a pure waste of attributes, it's possible the worst primary attribute line in guild wars :P

in regular warrior builds i usually run 14 weap 11 tac 9 str, dumping strength completely when i don't take any strength skills

I wouldnt say its the most useless primary attribute in Guild Wars, yes the effect is but it has lots of great skills and elite skills to use, some other primary dont.

I run 16 tactic for certain solo builts

as for 16 strenght, the closest I get is 14 when I use a primal rage built

[ 14 str (12+1+1) +15 axe (12+3) + primal rage = awsome damage/ Axe has the best damage output of all melee weapon]

Can you explain more please?

And what I meant by axe has the best damage of all melee is in combination with Primal rage: I tried sword, Hammer, heck even daggers and Scythe, but over all, axe have the best potential with Primal rage.

its not a bad skill.

When I use it its not uncomon for me to see 78, 78 ,78 30, 56, 78 for damage number.

Theres a place and time for everything, I use this skill any where I go capping, because when I bring it, does not really matter what I bring, and its a no brainer ( since its really the only skill you can use )

Again dont forget to use an axe, 14 strenght and 15 axe. I'm sure your gona enjoy the damage

Ok, now lets not derail this tread any more, who else run 16 strengh and/or 16 tactic?

i personally dont use a Superior Vigor for a Warrior being a GvG person i prefer to go with a major rune or if its a split build a minor run, the dmg or any benefit from adding 1 or 2 more points in a given attribute isnt that great compared to the health involved

Hmm I don't like sup. runes, you really don't want to run a hammer warrior in PvE with a sup. hammer mastery rune. I don't like über defensive builds anyway so my line of defense is usually high health.
Warriors just get pounded to much to run around with -75 HP imo. I don't farm much either.

16 tactics i go

Watch Yourself
Soldiers Strike
Soldiers Defense
Healing Signet

16 Strength I go

Warriors Endurance
Levithan Sweep
Griffon Sweep
Protectors Strike
Bull Strike.

Stoneskin Gauntlets and some 'kick a guy whilst he's down' skill like.... Lacerating Chop or Belly Smash or Crushing blow (even try Renewing Smash to recharge Warriours Endurance) I wont mention the sword one as its for adrenaline and guess what... you dont need it.

(Punish those damnable stance Rangers who suddenly decide to run for it after they've been slammed to the ground and punished twice in a row.... Mwuha ha ha ha ha)
