Profession: Warrior/*
Name: Strength and Tactics Max Damage Axe
Type: General PvP
Category: Damage
Attributes:
Strength: 3 + 1
Axe: 12 + 3 + 1
Tactics: 12 + 3

Skills Set:



1.) Eviscerate {Elite} (Axe)
2.) Axe Rake (Axe)
3.) Executioner's Strike (Axe)
4.) Thrill Of Victory (Tactics)
5.) Desperation Blow (Tactics)
6.) Balanced Stance (Tactics)
7.) Healing Signet (Tactics)
8.) Resurrection Signet

Summary:
Max damage axe build utilizing high damage axe and tactic attack skills. Eviscerate, Executioner's Strike, Thrill of Victory and Desperation Blow all provide +40~ damage. Add Balanced Stance to offset knockdown drawback of Desperation Blow and Axe Rake to cripple target. I wanted to use Sprint but didn't want to cancel out my balance stance (which also comes in handy against opponent knockdown skills).

Straight forward and easy to use . Use Balanced Stance before spamming Desperation Blow. Use Thrill of Victory when target's HP is lower than warrior's. Charge up all andrenaline skills before using them (Evis --> Axe --> Exec) and Heal/Rez as needed.

Notes & Concerns:
Balance Stance + Desperation Blow = d[^_^]b

As with many dedicated damage warrior, Str/Tact axe is weak against condition and hex.

Balenced Stance and Desparation Blow seems a bit iffy, but that skill choice made me gawk. Very creative.
