User:Endamir/Builds/Build:W/any Dragon Sword

A definite pressure Warrior. No Final Thrust weakens the ability to spike, but Dragon Slash allows you to spam your adrenaline skills a lot more often. This is a strongly offense-oriented warrior for HA and GvG, but it can be used in AB and the Arenas with some modification (see Variants).

Equipment

 * Any armor set can be used with this build.
 * Vampiric, Zealous, Ebon prefixes, and with an of Fortitude suffix are preferred.
 * Furious may also be helpful.

Usage

 * Regardless of secondary profession, this build focuses on repeatable adrenaline attacks to apply pressure on the target, while other warriors come in to spike.

Counters

 * Anti-warrior conditions and hexes apply to this build.

Variants

 * Replace Rush with Dash, Sprint or Enraging Charge for a different speed boost.
 * Replace Frenzy with Tiger Stance for a less dangerous IAS. This is usually preferred for use in the Arenas and Alliance Battles, where you are being targetted frequently.
 * If you're looking for self-healing, take Lion's Comfort.
 * Protector's Strike can be replaced with Bull's Strike for a knockdown attack.
 * Replace Protector's Strike with Distracting Blow for an interrupt or Shock for a knockdown.
 * Replace Sever Artery with Barbarous Slice for more damage. If you are doing this, you must get rid of Frenzy and Rush so that you get the damage bonus from Barbarous Slice. Reduce points in Strength and put them in Tactics, preferrably to get 9 points in Tactics for use of a shield's armor bonus. Replace Frenzy and Rush with Healing Signet and another ability of your choice, perhaps from a different class if you are willing to change point distribution. W/Rt with Vital Weapon works well as it gives you +130 health if points are distributed correctly.. Replace Protector's Strike with For Great Justice for tons of adrenaline quickly. This variation allows for more armour, survivability, and constant damage.
