Equipment

 * Armor
 * Knight's armor with a Rune of Superior Vigor and two Runes of Attunement or Vitae.
 * Including above stated Rune of Minor Strength and Sowrdsmanship.
 * Weapons
 * Kanaxai's Edge or other good +30HP sword.
 * Exalted Aegis or any similar shield for more health and damage reduction.

Usage
Engaging primary target and starting with Enraging Charge should pump your adrenaline. Keeping spamming conditions on field to help casue havoc in enemy flanks. Using Sun and Moon Slash on damaged foes. Making fun and finishing foes with Dragon Slash, repeating the course with regained adrenaline. Plague Touch to ease my monk's job when conditioned, especially when blinded, dazed or crippled.

Variations

 * When the mission or situation asks for it, bring Distracting Blow instead of Plague Touch.
 * For specific areas use Lightbringer's Gaze instead of Plague Touch.
 * For these variations is not fixed secondary profession. They use only Warrior skills.
 * If you think you will be in dire need of self healing, bring Lion's Comfort instead of Plague Touch and put remaining 3 points to Tactics for better effect.
 * Again works great with Infuriating Heat. Consider bringing a party member with this one.

Counters
}}
 * Any anti-adrenaline spells like Soothing Images.
 * Blindness and Blurred Vision can make it hard to gather adrenaline.
 * Beware of Visions of Regret from Shadow Mesmers. It can totally shut you down.
