*Switchblade Skill (may be traded depending on the mission/party)
Executioner's Strike - Just slap on the heavy damage.
Disrupting Chop - No spells for j00.
Frenzy - More adrenaline for me, faster dying for my enemies.
Wild Blow/Swift Chop - Stance Kill. Though I think it was removed, not sure.
Cyclone Axe - PvE mobber skill to shoot adrenaline through the roof.
Axe Twist is good for pve and anti-warrior rushers/rangers in pvp. But since there is no God-build, I think a bit of skillful skill choices are here. If I just want more healing from ViM!, then putting four conditions on my foe with half my skill bar pretty much fills my energy pool and a good 116hp. Hopefully, a smart Mesmer backup will chuck Epidemic on my target before I do ViM!

After doing some minor sacrificing and tweaking research, this is the build I've created for Offensive Tank purposes [chase enemies down and chop them to pieces.] He can't take as much damage as a more defensive tank but I think it's quite a powerful build.
It does good damage, snare/speed skills keep my enemy from getting away, and the ViM!/Necro skills keep me alive and healthy [with a strong bit of enchantment disruption]. If this type of build is effective, I can't wait to test it out!
Thanks for the help you people! ^_^

From what I saw this BWE the life siphon at level 10 would only be 2 and 2 not 3 and 3. I tried out a similar build in about 10 different variations but I am just not comfortable playing the melee type.

why in the worlddo you have 10 on strenght? just to run fast?i would get a crippling skill insted and make them much slow, i would use these points somewhere else, as ive found sprint isnt much of a help unless theyre runners, but then i cripple them. also if your gonna be a tank i stress you to tey w/mes it is my life, all my char are it and i love it. well other wise this is an ok build, but i would try limking them more together so each one builds off the next. hope this helps

Oh, damn, I know what you mean. I have it too. Soul Feast? Mine is around 180 or so.

I am a ranger/Monk. I only know how to get ranger attributes, and the only ones are: Beast Mastery, Expertise, Marksmanship, and Survival. Can I get monk attributes, and are there other attributes like speed, strength, aiming, etc... Kinda off-topic but if so how do you raise those skills?!?!
Lews
You should be able to get monk ones also, but no others.
