User:Lady Saradomin/Shock Axe Warrior

The Shock Axe Warrior is the classic example of a PvP frontliner, proudly exhibiting the sheer damage potential and overwhelming threat of melee pressure. This build is designed to do big dmg through Axe DPS and to score clean kills in the form of Eviscerate spikes, while packing some utility in the form of knock-downs, knock-locks, self-healing, training, and snaring.

The Shock Axe Warrior also serves as the basic benchmark with which all other PvP Warrior builds are compared for effectiveness and viability.
