1. Mighty Blow
2. Staggering Blow
3. Hammer Bash
4. Backbreaker {E}
5. Bonneti's Defense
6. Flurry
7. Trolls unguent
8. Rez Sig

Right before you aggro mob/near your enemies, hit Trolls Unguent. Once the battle commences, start off with flurry, and you can charge up your skill bar pretty fast. Use it twice if necessary. If you are getting pounded, hit Bonneti’s, and follow up with trolls. Use the 4 attacks as you see fit.

Please tell me what you think of this build.

it depends where you plan on using this build. my guess is general pve, but correct me if i'm wrong.

the build itself is just decent, but there definitely is room for improvement.

i would drop staggering blow in favor of something more useful. weakness on 1 pve enemy isn't really that big of a deal. for pve, definitely take a look at counter blow. it's a highly spammable kd. or maybe add in something with more damage, like yeti smash.

flurry is ok, but i've recently become a big fan of berserker stance + renewing smash for hammer ias.

it seems like the only thing you are using the secondary for is troll unguent. what this means is that, in the middle of battle, you'll be standing there for 3 sec doing nothing. i think there are better heal options out there, but i'll leave it up to you decide.

Would you believe that i pulled Counter Blow out for Staggering Blow? The reason was because i thought CB worked only if I was being attacked, not just if the foe was attacking. It seems after rereading that i was wrong, so CB makes sense.

but whatever gets the job done better.

Troll’s seems to work fine for me. Its spammable, great regen, and the three seconds are ok, because the next ten seconds make up for it.

Switch 5 & 6 to Frenzy and Sprint, then switch Trolls for Heal Signet.

Berserker Stance can last longer with good Strength, i don't take double damage, AND my adrenaline is gain is increased 20%. The cooldown is 30 seconds, but that’s what Renewing Smash is for.

Troll's Unguent gives a LOT or regen, which is better for Warriors because my Armor takes care of the damage, its the degen im more worried about. If you think about it, 3 second cast with no armor loss, or 2 second cast with -40 armor. Trolls makes more sense.

Why go W/R if you're only using Troll Unguent? Usually you'd go with ranger secondary for Tiger's Fury and maybe Antidote Signet.

May as well go with monk secondary and take Healing Breeze, since at least that can be cast on teammates, although it costs more.

ya if all ur having for ur secondary is trolls then u might as well just leave it blank and let other decide. HB is good but it very high energy cost. id suggest getting some kickarse nec/mes/ele defence in there

Hmm...You guys don't like Troll's? Since this is my PvE character, i need to know where the Secondary Changing quests in Cantha are first, haha. I dunno, i like Trolls, because it can't be removed.
