Mods are your choice but sundering or Furious are nice addition

Sundering on swords is meh. The DPS for sundering weapons is always lower (scythes might be an exception) than vamp, so unless you're spiking or somehow otherwise have a good reason for occasional high numbers, there isn't much reason to be using it. Btw, this may be incorrect if you're hitting something with less than 60AL, but that's trivial and essentially irrelevant.

Don't see the point in Furious either. In 10 hits, you'll gain one point of adrenaline. A vamp weapon would produce 30 damage in that time. Unless you can use one point of adrenaline to produce more than 30 damage, you're using a less efficent mod. Spears are a different matter, as they are there specifically to gain adrenaline and not to deal damage.

For a new player with limited resources I think "1" sword/axe/hammer with a Sundering Mod is just fine. Asking him to swap weapons and toss him builds he does not yet understand nor will he be using anytime soon isn't going to help him much.

@OP - My advice is to simply take your time, play through the game and give every skill you come across a try. Only through failure will you succeed. Use the skills, understand them and once you're familiar with said skills put a build together and see how well certain skills interact with each other. I could very well toss you a handful of builds but you'll never understand how things work if you are just told to button mash 1,2,3,4 on recharge. Good luck on your ventures.

Message me anytime in game if you want help. Essential Gawd

I think the trainers in the monastery can teach you Plague Touch, a Necro skill that's really great on a Warrior. That's about the only advice I'm going to give you for now

Furious is specific to things like Dragonslash and steelfang slash. When you are using skills that rely on adrenaline that don't do direct damage (i.e. Enraging Charge), it is sometimes more useful than Vamp.

Sundering is good on scythes, and it's not all about the DPS either. If you sunder on a crit, it causes such a drop in HP for whatever you're hitting, that it doesn't actually take that much luck for your casters to kill it before its healers can heal it.
Furious is not bad on swords though. 1 point of adrenaline per 10 hits doesn't sound like much, but that's 1 point for EACH of your adrenal skills. And if one of those is Sun&Moon, that means you're getting in extra hits, making you build even more adrenaline. Coupled with not giving you degen, I'd pick it over Vampiric in most cases.
