Prot W/mo :-)

Basically this build is mainly for random arena's. Its to try and keep your monk alive or any squishies. . I wanted to do some decent dmg as well. So.. I came up with this tell me what you guys think.

W/Mo
16 swordsmanship
10-11 strength
9-10 prot prayers

Battle rage
sever artery
gash
galrath
final thrust
life bond
mend ailment
rez sig

Basically I life bond 2 casters and do my thing. Mend ailment isn't great but in case i need condition removal and the monk is all healing or something. After i cast both i still have around 10 energy left so i can use mend ailment twice that round if it isn't stripped. Any suggestions to make it better. Battle rage is so that I can combo sever gash and galrath as soon as sever lights up and no need for sprint. Would bulls strike(the elite one) work better? Its five energy but I could take it out in place of mend. Your opinions would be appreciated.

Hmm... I don't know about using either Battle Rage or Bull's Charge. I understand you want to increase your movement speed for certain times when you need it. But with battle rage you have to have adrenaline already ready to get this speed increase, if your target can manage to stay away from you or, if they are a mesmer, drop a Sympathetic Visage or Soothing Images (which they will do to you if the have it) then you can't ever bring them in range. And Bull's Charge requires energy, something you will be in short supply of. Personally, since you get 0 energy regen because you are using two maintained enchants, I would try out using Flourish as a way to get more energy (only if it recharges your adrenal skills, I don't know because I don't use that skill since I prefer axe warriors). Also, from what I have experienced running Galrath Slash and Final Thrust at the same time is kind of inefficient. I would probably drop Galrath for something like Hamstring (since you are using swords), or if you don't like the energy cost of Hamstring then maybe just sprint instead.

Of course that is all just my opinion. For the most part I really like the concept of this build because you are doing what a warrior can do best, being a semi-tank by using Life Bond, and you are not a complete loss when it comes to dealing damage.

EDIT: Apparently Flourish does nothing for adrenal skills from what I hear. You might want to fill that with Warrior's Endurance for some energy management.
