User:Irkm/BuildArchive/W/any Cleave PvE Soldier

This is a fast-paced PvE Build that uses Cleave as a low Adrenaline Attack Skill to change targets more quickly, killing single targets at fast rates. Combined with Cyclone Axe and "For Great Justice!", it is recharged at an astounding rate, increasing the ability to deal high damage attacks more frequent, resulting in more kills.

Equipment

 * A mix of Gladiator's Armor and Berserker's Armor is a good combination, or you could go for Dreadnought armor for some more Armor vs Elemental damage.
 * Choose either a Furious or Zealous Axe of Fortitude (Zealous is your energy upkeep for Cyclone Axe).
 * The best Rune of Vigor and Absorption you can get.

Usage
When you encounter enemies, engage them and start building up some adrenaline using "For Great Justice!" and Cyclone Axe. As soon as you have enough adrenaline, use your attack skills (primarily Cleave). If your health is going down use Healing Signet to heal. Use "For Great Justice!" to help regain adrenaline.

Counters

 * Common tank counters:
 * Ward Against Melee
 * Reduced attack speed hexes like Shadow of Fear and Faintheartedness
 * Blindness
 * Damage-on-attack hexes such as Spiteful Spirit and Empathy

Variants

 * Change "Watch Yourself!" for a speed increasing skill such as Rush and Sprint.
 * Switch "For Great Justice!" for an IAS such as Frenzy.
