Just wanted to know what is everyones favorite elite for a warrior. Please state why it is your favorite and not just your favorite.

I'll start off with Grenths Balance.
Reason being is for not just survivability but can also be used as a huge damage dealer. Often times I find myself letting my life trickle down to 60hp or so just so I can hit somebody with over 200hp in damage. You of course have to switch targets to do this.

Warrior's Endurance for me; I usually run a build that's dependant on using a decent amount of energy and adrenal skills; gives me some flexibility to do a few things in battle...

Meh, my favourite is Flourish.

I run a W/A build with daggers and Flourish.

I can spike, use Flourish and BAM! Fully recharged dagger skills and energy reserves. I'm aware that Assassins or Rangers could perhaps do a better job, but atleast I can take some damage.

I just love Flourish right now.

Mine is the new Elite - Quivering Blade. Why? I love pressuring monks with a 4 adren skill 42 damage (at 16 swordsmanship) skill, increasing your dps especialy if used with an IAS skill.

I have two, hundred blades (works well with inferno and conjure flame ;D) and dragon slash, two strikes of adrenaline and a powerful attack doesn't sound to bad to me.

I like Defy Pain.

The reasoning behind this: It is the core skill behind my current favorite tanking build, which is DP+Watch Yourself+Dolyak Signet. I LOVE this build, because it gives you huge amounts of armor (136+20vs phys with only DP+WY and a shield) and it is completly, totally unstrippable. No shatter-enchanting your armor of earth, no Wild Blow-ing your stances . . . and the fact that you also end up at constant 800 or so HP isn't bad either. Another nice bonus is you get to hit defy pain and endure, and then watch the other people's eyes pop when you call your hp and it's over 1k.

Battle Rage: It is THE adrenaline gaining skill. You get adrenaline superfast without haveing to pay energy. If I don't use Battle rage I take Hundred Blades.

backbreaker when running hammer, as ppl said, 4 secs kd is so powerfull

running axe, cleave: don't like eviscerate cause 8 adrenaline strikes. cleve is 4 and I can switch 3secs later to dismember, then cleave again

as a swordman, charge or defy pain.

i like 100 blades. in PvE, my warrior has moved to swords (from axes) using sever, gash, galrath, 100 blades. seems to drop most squishies really quick.

I'm quite sure i could get my Warrior to well over 1500 using Fertile Season and Vital Blessing from allies, Defy/Endure and Demonic Flesh from myself. The higher your health is, the further it can drop. Also degen doesn't care how much armour you have

Eviscerate or Backbreaker are my favourites. Eviscerate sounds cool and Backbreaker > squishies

Battle Rage is my favourite warrior Elite and I think ViM probably comes in second.

I dont know, have to try out some new combos with Battle rage, seems to be a favorite.

I like Dragon Slash, with Sever/Gash/Galrath/ and DS. Testing out PvP atm(Normaly Pve) and this works great. After I Can use DS, have enough for Galrath and keep spaming. And easy to get full Adren and spam all 4! Awesome combo.

Got one question...When i tried Battle Rage awhile ago, do you lose all your adren if you cast it again?

Hehe.... Im not quite sure right now. I like too many to have a favorite one, but factions favorites so far are shove and quivering blade. For a sword war, shove is the way to go. My shove/bull's strike war: 16 Sword 8+1 Strength 10+1 Tactics. Frenzy, Galrath, Final, Bull's strike, Shove {E}, Sprint, Heal Sig, Res sig.

Dragon slash for me.

Try it with my pure dmg silverwing slash, galrath slash, sun and moon slash, power attack combo. (with tiger stance to get the adren up initially).

With it your looking at +80 dmg with an extra attack +29 from the power attack another +40 from dragon slash and then by this time its only 2 strikes from silverwing + galrath + sun and moon. Bridge that gap with 1 normal attack + power attack and you're on for a winner. (I use 15 swordsmanship.)

Eviscerate- the most ph33rsome attack skill in the game. I have a soft spot for Hundred Blades too, even though it sucks powerfully..

I'm using Quivering Blade at the moment though since its highly spammable. I am also wanting to use Auspicious Parry at some stage too.

My current setup is:

Flurry (Spammable with a Zealous Sword)
Quivering Blade {E}
Standing Slash
Silverwing Slash
Galrath Slash
Watch Yourself!
Dolyak Signet
Healing Signet

Basically spam Flurry and use each skill as it recharges. Flurry is a stance so gives you that -2dmg and +45 health from the collectors "In Stance" shield.

13 Sword (12+1)
12 Tactics (10+1+1(Ascalon Helm))
9 Strength (8+1)

I struggled to find a decent sword setup with only energy based attacks that Prophecies onyl had to offer. Thankfully they looked at swords a bit more now and gave them some decent Adren based skills.

Great to see so many responses =). I finally found that tat Wing 3 Wing guy and capped Tripple Chop. That is my favorite Farming Skill now. With a Zealouse Hilt and Whirlwind I have constant energy and adrenaline =). Overall Grenths is still my Fav elite to run with my Warrior. BTW Sry bout the title guys I meant to say Favorite Elite to use with your warrior. Doesn't have to be a warrior elite.
