This is a build I just made for PvP. So far it's worked great against other warriors but it cannot touch any kind of caster. Comments and criticism are appreciated.
Duelist
W/X (Doesn't matter, I dont use secondary)
Strength: 12 (I dont have any strength runes unlocked)
Tactics: 12+1+1 (I only have a minor rune)
Weapons and Shields: DOesn't matter, just need a sword
Armor:Gladiators, with Tactics energy +1 helmet
Runes:MInor Swordsmanship, Superior Vigor, Superior Absorbtion
Flurry (for adrenaline while TO the Limit is recharging)
Riposte (main damage)
Deadly Riposte (main damage)
Shield Bash (Good while skills are charging and if you ahve to run)
"To The Limit!" (Main skill to get adrenaline)
FLourish (to counter riposte and shield bash's recharge time and get energy)
Healing Sig (self explanitory)
Rez Sig (self explanitory)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions on this build. It's still in its early stages.

While it might be nice for CA, Taking out warriors just is not a priority in any mode of PvP. That means you'll do little damage untill they target you, and untill they do, you won't do any real damage to help your team.
Florish will not Recharge Shield Bash, or Deadly Riposte, as they are not attack skills.
"To the Limit!" Is nice in PvE, but a little lackluster in PvP. It requires you to be mobed, which isn't likely to happen. If you want a nice Adrenaline boosting shout Use "For Great Justice!" instead.
Without points in a weapon skill you'll do zero damage to an oponent who isn't attacking you in melee.
Lastly, there are better options than Strength if you plan to boost your damage. Most of them involve a secondary, but that Str just isn't doing much at all if you don't have any attack skills.

Okay. THanks for the tips.

anti-warrior warriors aren't efficient, period. Warriors just can't hurt other warriors as much as a caster can.
So in short, find a way to kill casters. Using massive dps through virulence or Life Transfer coupled with Sever Artery + Gash and 16 swordsmanship should make for a long day for the enemy... [that and getting clobbered with final thrust with 10 degen isn't nice]
