SaMS and DSlash are Factions skills, reading the OP would be nice.

No DSlash hurts, so Cripslash maybe?

[card]Crippling Slash[/card][card]Gash[/card][card]Galrath Slash[/card][card]Flail[/card][card]Healing Signet[/card][card]Conjure Lightning[/card][card]Resurrection Signet[/card] +1 attack, replace Galrath with a different attack if you don't like it.

without factions, he's better off running the old Charge! sword warrior instead:

sever
gash
final thrust
"Charge!" {e}
"for great justice!"
enraging charge
flail
rez

14 sword, 9 str, 11 tac

No real need for Monk skills you are a Warrior if you want a hard res like rebirth.

I think the general consensus from the players is that you are much better off leaving the monking to the monks.

If you really want to use monk skills, bring your own Condition remover (for blind and weakness only). Warrior skills like the Ripostes and various Stances and Shouts will actually work better than Prot or Smite skills when used by a 20 energy guy.

For sword builds, not much beats SunMoon + DSlash, so Factions is needed if you want to output damage. I am not sure CripSlash is worthwhile of PvE.

Since your damage output will be lower than an Axe wielding warrior without Factions, bring some utility like Wild Blow or interrupt and/or defensive stances/shouts.

Good Warrior build should have one healing skill like Healing Signet, atleast 3 attack skills like Final Thrust, Barbious Slash, Gash(Good Combo)-Barb Slash+Gash and Final Thrust foe is dead pretty fast. A skill to build Adr for your attack Skills like "For Great Justice!" or any Adr Build Skill. Need Elite like i use VoM on my War with Daggers to use the Dwarven Boxing skills and Norn Skill to make foe not attack for 7secs(for r8 Norn Title) with VoM i get energy and HP every time i use it and it combos very well with Sab Necro Build MM type with Bleeding Posion and Cracked Armor if you use the 3rd Dwarven Skill get 106hp+ and +12 energy gain. Have a hard rest just in case the Monks die or last one standing to rez someone.

[card]Crippling Slash[/card][card]Gash[/card]["You Move Like a Dwarf!"][card]Mending Touch[/card][card]Flail[/card][card]Enraging Charge[/card][card]"For Great Justice!"[/card] + whatever else you feel fills the ticket. Probably another PvE skill from GWEN, there's a good selection of them (like Pain Inverter)

This is about the highest DPS you can hope for without Dslash.

They're effective on anything that's fleshy (and some things that aren't....*mumble* Asuran Undergate) Against non-Fleshy creatures it stops the combo dead, which is why raw DPS (such as from Dslash) is inherently better. It's also the reason Swordsmanship was sucktacular until Factions showed up.

Do note that you do get your Strength armour penetration even if the creature can't be affected by the skill. It's not a bad idea to spam Cripslash/Gash over and over again if a single target remains, just for the slight damage boost.

They won't work on the undead as Factions has the skills you need for that Standing Slash.Silverwing Slash and Dragon Slash all great vs. the fleshies and non fleshies.I would suggest using some enrgy based skills for the undead.

Same for any elite in GWEN, if you do not own the chapter it originated from you cant cap it.

Good Solo Build I discovered. works nicely (unless foes uses strip enchants)

Swordsmanship: 12+
Strength: 10+
Healing: 9+

Skills
Dolyak Signet
Sever Artery
Galrath Slash
Final Thrust
Flail
'Healing Hands{E}'
Live Vicariously
Vigorous Spirit

or you can replace 'Healing Hands{E}' with 'Hundred Blades{E}'

Awsome W/Mo Prot build for prophecies and NF i use this build please don't flame it unless you can give just reasons a prove them.
[skill]Sever artery[/skill][skill]gash[/skill][skill]final thrust[/skill][skill]flail[/skill][skill]shielding hands[/skill][skill]shield of regeneration[/skill][skill]Balthazar's spirit[/skill][skill]rebirth[/skill]

works really well.
max out both prot, sword and strengh. can swap out for frenzy if you want but has less tanking capabilities.

^ drop all your prot skills. you have monks for a reason. more damage, more hp and it's good.

EDIT: i'm assuming (hoping) that's a pve build so i'll just point out that s-g-ft is pretty bad in pve because a 3 chain combo on one monster is a waste. you're much better bringing skills like [skill]Galrath Slash[/skill] and [skill]Sun and Moon Slash[/skill] and [skill]Dragon Slash[/skill] if you have factions. also, you'll come across areas where the monsters are not fleshy, and so the only attack skill you can use is final thrust.

That looks like a old Ice Imp farming build, minus the speed boost of course

As for why you don't need that skill; you're better off with a Zealous weapon if you need energy for some reason. But if you take RhanoctJocosa's advice(you should), you will need very little energy at all.

put bull's strike on the mending wammo bar (in place of galrath slash) and it's good to go.
