Im not 100% sure as which elite to run with Koss i was thinking my 2 best choices would be....
[skill]dragon slash[/skill]
or
[skill]hundred blades[/skill]
I have used axes my whole time on GW and just don't know where to begin as for a good sword build for him.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks.
Good Build for Hero (warrior)

Depend on the situation, if there are alot of melee enemies, I would use Hundred Blades, as it can do mass aoe damage against them.(Or any place where the enemy tend to group up) D. Slash is mainly used for adrenaline heavy builds, and is more single foe-vised.

Good place to look

Why not a Flame ATT. sword + conjure flame and use Crippling Slash as an elite? It work wonder in both pvp and pve.(that's the build i use for my heros)

Take DSlash. It does insane damage, even though heroes don't spam it as much as I'd like. The adren cost isn't a big deal, you are using FGJ, right?
Hundred Blades is a /fail elite, it wasn't supposed to be elite, then it was made elite so it can't be used with Illusionary Weaponary, but didn't get any buffs.
Cripslash is meh, do you think the addition of cripple (when compared to Sever Artery) is worth the elite slot in PvE? That is, of course, if you were going to use it at all.
Quivering is a good choice, it doesn't take brains to know how to use it, which means the AI should do fine.

Crippling Slash is good, for pvp use anyways(=p) I won't argue with you here and i do see your point(pve = all about dishing as much damage as possible for a warrior). But dunno, I prefer Crip Slash even in PvE and it doesn't seem as bad as you seems to suggest.
But between Dslash or Thousand blades, use thousand blades, as it allows you to build up Adr. fast and then just spam you other attacks. While Dslash takes a while to build even with frenzy.

I was thinking this before, but its kinda a waste of an elite. crippled isnt that useful in PvE.

Uh, DSlash wins easy in PvE. FGJ + Enraging Charge (should be in a PvE bar), should give you the 10 adr for DSlash in 3 hits, thats ~3 seconds. Then you can spam DSlash for ~80 damage per hit, which Hundred Blades does no +damage and needs to have other attack skills on your bar, instead of the utility allowed by the DSlash (Brawling Headbutt/Steelfang Slash, SY).

Thanks. i would go with hundred blades ,heroes do not use dragon slash so good(mindless spaming under for great justice) i also tested them both on a warrior hero with the same stats ,weapon and the same build and hundred blades did a bit more dps,after 180 seconds on the master of dmg

Tbh heroes tend to be much better as Tchoppers than any sword build. But if you're set on using a sword, Dslash or Quivering Blade are good.

why would you use steelfang if the whole point is to spam Dslash? the rest imo are simply supports, providing conditions to ~80(if it really is ~80) damage that Dslash deals. But for enraged, in PvE you have to move constantly, and if you use enraged purely for adr. sooner or later you're gonna run outa energy and FGJ takes forever to recharge, not really worth for a skill slot. Cripl Slash-Sever artery-bull's charge-conjure flame/lighting/frost/-frenzy-rush-healing sig-sun and moon slash are the combination i usually use.(Both for me and my hero) It doesn't deliver 100+ damage in 5 seconds but it isn't as bad as people are seemly to imply here.

While FGJ! is up, you can happily go DS - DS - DS - DS - DS, throwing in Headbutt and "SY!" when needed.
However, when FGJ ends,you can keep the full-adrenaline chain going with DS - Headbutt - Steelfang - DS, still being able to spam "SY!" at will.
Indeed, with Steelfang, you can happily eschew FGJ/EH entirely for something fun.

One thing to keep in mind with heros is they are not the brightest pixels on screen.
A simple bar is often the best for them.
[skill]Triple chop[/skill][skill]Cyclone Axe[/skill][skill]Disrupting Chop[/skill][skill]"Watch Yourself!"[/skill][skill]Protector's Defense[/skill][skill]Healing Signet[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]
Anything more complicated than that and its just wasted skills slots.

Protectors Defense is Fail on a Hero. He will cast it and move the next second. Infact any "ends if you..." skills fail on Heros.
I tried [skill]Berserker Stance[/skill] on Koss once and watched him "Beserker's" then "attack skill" the very next second over and over.
I took him to the isle and test other "ends if you..." skills on him and witnessed pure mass fail on his part.
Enraging Charge is great for a warrior Hero.

Sword builds just don't work well on Koss. Eviscerate on an axe build doesn't do well with him. T-Chop/Cleave(yeah, I know...) work well with him because of the low energy/adrenaline cost. It's AI. Their strengths are speed and lack of emotion. Their weakness is no awareness of skill synergy. Set your bar accordingly, and toss out of your head builds YOU use well, as he will NOT use it the same. Honestly, most of the time heroes would do better with a 4-6 skill bar.
Grammar
I also find warrior heroes to run axe builds better than sword builds
Here's what Jora is running at the moment:
[skill]Triple Chop[/skill][skill]Furious Axe[/skill][skill]Dismember[/skill][skill]Executioner's Strike[/skill][skill]Agonizing Chop[/skill][skill]Flail[/skill][skill]"Watch Yourself!"[/skill][skill]Rez of choice[/skill]
- I used to have Cyclone Axe in there instead of Furious Axe, but heroes prioritize and spam Cyclone Axe too much, so you run out of energy too quickly while other skills (mainly Dismember and Executioners) get neglected.
- I used to have Heal Sig in there instead of Agonizing Chop, but heroes SUCK with Heal Sig. They cast it at the most retarded times and situations, and it usually ends up doing more harm than good. I also tried Lions Comfort, but I found that they barely used this skill at all. So I just said "scew it" and took the heal skill out and added more damage.
- A possible variant is switching out Agonizing Chop for Disrupting Chop. Heroes use both quite well from my experience.
I tried running a DS build on a hero warrior in the past, but was not happy with how they used it.
