In PvE, when tanking, you need as much HP as you can get, so people tend to get minors over superiors. In PvP, warriors are generally all-out offensive so the +2 weapon attribute is worth the loss of health. Otherwise, I don't know why people would take Superior Axe but not Superior Swordsmanship.

Guess people use Axes more than Swords... *shrugs* depends on your build I guess. I took a sup Marksmanship for my ranger, even though I use wilderness survival more. I did this so I could meet my req 12 marks for my bow without wasting the attrib points that I wanted in WS instead.

I use major runes on my warrior in PVE. She still does good dmg at 15 axe mastery and they were 1/4 of the price of a superior. If im running anyone, ill switch whatever piece of armor has the major or sup on it and run a minor for the health

Sup AXE rune, FTW.

But yeah, I'd use Sup runes in PVE, becuase I still have a major/sup vigor to cancel effects ontop of my +30hp axe grip, so I'm not worried. Same goes for sword, if you can afford it and can cover up with make-up HP <Like upgrades> I'm all for it, if not, go for all minors so you don't take a HP hit, like was mentioned, warriors REALLY need HP <UW, with Droks, -160 melee still a hit on aatxes> so you do the math and figure out which you'd be stickin with.

sup any weapon rune is easily cancelled by a sup vigor and +hp fortitude haft...

So I run with 16 axe on both pvp and pve no problem with 510 hp

*canthan targe adds 30hp too *

I roll with 2 superiors actualy. Strength and Axe. I don't use any +hp mods. This is for pvp and pve. PvP a warrior is never attacked and PvE i use stances.
