hi, i've been playing warrior for like... 3 months now and i want to 'share' my build:

i'd like some thoughts or possible changes to it:

attributes: 12+1 str.
12+3+1 axe

[skill]Eviscerate[/skill]
[skill]Executioner's Strike[/skill]
Whirlwind Attack
brawling headbutt
[skill]flail[/skill]
[skill]"For Great Justice!"[/skill]
"I Am Unstoppable!"
[skill]enduring harmony[/skill]

use is quite simple and at r10 norn you can keep up IaU forever

I'd change the superior axe rune to a minor or at very least a major. The damage increase isn't worth for the cost in health.

Personally I'd change either whirlwind attack or I am unstoppable for enraging charge. But this build seems good to me as it is.

should work, its the axe variant of the dslash war, u could add lacerating chop for bleeding after brawling headbutt but it isnt needed.

I would consider taking "You move like a dwarf" as well as well as brawling headbutt, possibly instead of whirlwind attack, additional KD and cripple might prove usefull as you have no cancel stance for flail. Looks pretty good as it is though tbh.

Drop "I am Unstopable!" in favor of "I Am the Strongest!", +20 dmg on 8 attacks and it will recharge very fast.

I's also suggest swapping out Eveiserate for [skill]Whirling Axe[/skill] and Wirlwind attack for [skill]Dismember[/skill] or even [skill]Disrupting Chop[/skill]

Deep wound isn't a must in PvE, though it does speed up deaths by a second or two.
Though Evicerate does more damage than whirling (+30 vs +20) with FJG up you can hit whirling 4 times in the time it takes to charge up just one evicerate.

Why drop the best axe elite for a garbage elite?


I would drop the superior for a minor but other then that it doesn't look to bad.

It's a nice build, but go take a look into the D-Slash W/P build. It's like what you're using, but with less deep wound and a heck of alot more damage.

Unless of course you're saying Whirling Axe is good... adrenaline drains gg.

Otherwise, the build looks good.

Also drop the norn shout for [skill=text]"Watch Yourself!"[/skill], you don't need 13 strength...

Whirling axe + FGJ gives you around 50 DPS and Evicerate around 45, the only differance really is deep wound, and you can add dismember to the build as I sugested.

Keep in mind that when FGJ ends whirling is still charged every other attack, where as eviserate will take you 8 attacks to charge up. Also since your dealing mostly single target damage with this build(assuming you keep whirling attack) FGJ will likely end before youve killed 3 foes, leaving you disadvantaged vs the remaining foes in the mob.

I suggest you test out Whirling for yourself before you dismiss it as a bad skill!

Whirling Axe cuts your adrenaline gain by half if you spam it on recharge.

Eviscerate allows you to use other attack skills like Executioner's Strike, Whirling Attack, etc....
