Attributes and Skills

 * Replace Resurrection Signet a hard resurrect, or Recall/Return.
 * Using skills like Wild Blow as the optional skills help against stance users.
 * Other optional skills are Iron Palm or Return.

Equipment

 * 15^50 or 15vs.hexed work well for this build.
 * The energy armor set isn't required but it is what was used to test it.

Equipment

 * Health armor.
 * Low energy set: -5 energy spear of fortitude/defense, shield as below.
 * Standard set: +5 energy spear of fortitude, assortment of shields with +30hp and +10 armour vs specific damage type.
 * Emergency energy set comprised of 2 +15/-1 items. Use for for those emergency Gales etc.

Equipment
A sword is essential for people who use Deadly Riposte, though an axe for Cyclone Axe is used sometimes for PvE. They both have the same attack speed and don't matter aside for those skills and aesthetics. Ideal mods would be Barbed and of Enchanting. This will allow you to lengthen bleeding from Deadly Riposte and to keep up Illusionary Weaponry and any other enchantment longer. The sword itself would ideally be Denravi Sword or a Katana/Cleaver crafted by Shichiroji, which gives +5 energy. Rajazan's Fervor also works, but without the bleeding bonus. Otherwise, damage and damage mods do not matter due to lack of swordsmanship anyway. A cane could be used as backup to deal damage while IW is recharging. If you use a shield you might consider having a + energy offhand to switch in for casting IW when your energy runs out or when you're not being attacked. A scythe can also be used to produce an AoE attack.

Equipment

 * Gladiator's Armor is recommended for the energy bonus.
 * A Zealous weapon mod would help with energy recovery as well, especially when Berserker Stance is active.

Usage

 * While running into the fray, use Resilient Weapon, it will give you a nice health and armor bonus when you get smacked with the first wave of hexes and conditions.
 * After that, use Berserker Stance to build adrenaline and cycle through your devastating axe skills.
 * Remember that using a skill cancels Berserker Stance.
 * Bear in mind that Axe Twist must follow Eviscerate; If used out-of-order, it won't do anything.
 * Keep yourself alive by casting Resilient Weapon and Wielder's Boon (which gives you bonus healing while wielding a spirit weapon.)
 * Use the different skills when necessary, keep in mind that you get health regeneration and an armor boost from Resilient Weapon when you are under the effects of a condition or hexed (which is basically all the time when you are a warrior.)

Attributes and Skills

 * If playing defensive to take heat off squishy party members, think about Dolyak Signet.
 * Use Endure Pain for an emergency boost in health.
 * If you need a more solid heal bring Lion's Comfort.

Equipment

 * Sentinel's Armor and Stonefist Gauntlets.
 * The highest Vigor rune, and three Vitae runes.
 * A Kanaxai's Mallet or similar Hammer.

Usage

 * 1) Activate Signet of Strength before and after battles to boost your DPS.
 * 2) With no adrenaline start off using Dwarven Battle Stance before your first hit.
 * 3) * If you use any skill while DBS is active it will end.
 * 4) When DBS wears off use Renewing Smash.
 * 5) Combo with Staggering Blow, Auspicious Blow and Hammer Bash to finish the target off.
 * Don't waste your time with mobs that are enchanted to block melee attacks, focus on another target.
