A little help with my w/mo non farming build

I figured out a pretty good build, i think, that has pushed me through the game faily well. I'm currently at Sanctum Cay, and this is build I'm using.

Sword:10 (9+1 from helm)
Healing:8
Strength: 7
Tactics: 6

sever artery
gash
galrath slash
final thrust
orison of healing
healing breeze
ressurect

As you can see, i have no elite skills yet. Could anyone tell me any improve ments, or what elite i should get? i usually just hit things with my sword, so iguess it would be called a tank...maybe. this is for pve, btw.
i use healing wind to counteract poison and such, and im pretty sure you can guess what the others are for. Any improvements or suggestions are welcomed with open arms. Thank you.

You should find everything you need here.

Thank you

you seem to have a good idea of the basics of creating a build. just learn to be flexible depending on where you are/what you are fighting. you shouldn't stick to one particular build religiously. for instance, once you reach the desert, you will fight things that you cannot bleed or will return conditions. thus, you should switch out sever + gash for that.

also, drop healing breeze. you really only need 1 heal. bring something that will remove conditions instead, such as purge conditions. you'll be able to deal with poison, weakness, blind, etc.

Thank you strider. btw, i read your warrior guide, and it really helped me think more about what types of skills to use. based this build a little off of those ideas, too.
I'm thinking of changing out sever and gash for riposte and pure strike/thrill of victory, when i get to the dessert. ive never been to the dessert, so are they any other ideas?
