Just an idea for a ultra damage warrior, its probably rubbish but I'm gonna try it anywho.
W/E
Most of points in Axe and Fire magic
Rest in Strength
Glads Armor, Flame Focus and Fiery Axe

Skills
1. Frenzy (possibly flurry)
2. Eviscerate {E}
3. Executioners
4. Rake
5. Conjure Flame
6. Glyph of Lesser Energy
7. Mark of Rodgort
8. Res Signet

The idea is to cast conjure flame (using a fiery axe) and less energy, run upto target enemy, cast rodgort and bash away with frenzy. Foe will be taking large amounts of damage from axe + conjure as well as being set on fire constantly for 15-18 seconds. Eviscerate for dmg and wound (less health ) executioners for addition damage and rake to stop them running away. This build has a couple of serious weaknesses, no healing, no blind removal, not much armor and major energy problems. The +7 Glads and +12 Focus and possibly a +5 energy axe will help but regen is still crap. This warrior can still be damaging without using the rodgort skill, using conjure/frenzy and adrenaline skills so rodgort could only be used from time to time perhaps in a coordinated spike or pressure build up.
If well supported and in a decent group, this build could do huge amounts of damage.

Any thoughts ?

Yeh I looked through that and I think mine is better lol. I would say one thing it might be possible to replace Eviscerate {E} for Glyph of Energy {E} meaning Rodgort only costs 5 energy
Also swords are probably better using bleed etc.
Might be better to use these skills then

Frenzy
Conjure Flame
Sever
Gash (possibly flare in case you get blinded)
Glyph of Energy {E}
Mark of Rodgort
Sprint

The only way ya could healing in there would be to invest in tactics.
Maybe 5 or 6 strength and 9 tactics ?? I'm not sure its worth it personally.
This isn't intended for any PvE, only PvP where u'll have monks to heal you.

If this is for PvP, please don't use Flurry, use Frenzy.

And drop somthing for Rush, otherwise when they kite you your DPS is going to drop.

Sprint <------ Sprint is better than rush !!!
Res. I prefer using sprint than rush. And I think that original axe build isn't as good as this swords build because fire+bleed = -10 degen

dont feel no pain

yeah i agree sever builds are the best for mark of rodgort setups, 10 degen is tasty

Tis true, much better than using axes but I really need to capture Glyph of Energy (next spell costs 20 less energy) meaning rodgort+g. of energy only costs 10 energy which is very warrior friendly

Finally got Glyph of Energy {E}. This basically makes this build way better with Mark of Rodgort only costing 5 energy
Skills look like this

Sever
Conjure Flame
Glyph of Energy {E}
Mark of Rodgort
Sprint/Hamstring
Inferno/Gash/Flare
Healing Signet
Res Signet

I found its better to invest points in fire than strength. So attributes look like
12 Fire
13 Swords
10 Tactics
Rest in Strength.

Definitely need healing signet or some kind of defense (possibly Watch Yourself or Bonetti's Defense -- Great energy returne skill)
Can't decide whether its better to use sprint or hamstring to stop foe running away. Then for the last attack I can't decide whether Gash/Flare or Inferno is the best to have.
Gash -- doesn't require energy + deep wound + damage
Flare -- Cheap and spamable, means you can make m. of rodgort cause fire even if your blind
Inferno -- same reason for flare plus more damage to foes in the area.

Any thoughts ?
