Swordsmanship: 1 (1) [one point left over, bah]
Tactics: 4+1 (10)
Blood Magic: 10 (61)
Curses: 3 (6)

Total attribute points used: 200/200

Skills: [Attribute] (Energy, Cast Time, Recharge TIme)
1) Dismember [Axe Mastery] (0,0,7) If it hits, this axe blow will inflict a deep wound on the target foe, lowering that foe's maximum health by 20% for 17 seconds.

2) Axe Rake [Axe Mastery] (0,0,7) If this attack hits a foe suffering from a deep wound, you strike for +8 damage, and that foe becomes crippled.

3) Axe Twist [Axe Mastery] (0,0,8) If this attack hits a foe suffering from a deep wound, you strike for 16 more damage and that foe suffers from weakness.*

4) Sprint [Strength] (5,0,20) For 12 seconds, you move 25% faster.

5) Victory Is Mine!' [Tactics] (5,0,15) You gain 29 health and 5 energy for each condition suffered by adjacent foes. This is an elite skill.

6) Life Siphon [Blood Magic] (10,2,2) For 20 seconds, target suffers health degeneration of 3, and you gain health regeneration of 3.

7) Rend Enchantments [Curses] (10,3,30) Target foe loses 4 enchantments. For each Monk enchantment removed, you take 40 damage.

8) Plague Touch [none] (5,1,0) Transfer a negative condition from yourself to target touched foe.

*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!

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

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?!?!

You should be able to get monk ones also, but no others.
