Default Warrior builds with big damage output

I'm looking to make warrior builds with huge damage output, so far I've made an eviscerate build that works pretty well with the physical way. Personally I prefer using an axe, but if you got any suggestions, please do so.

Here is my current build.
Axe 12+1+1
Strenght 12+1

The only thing I don't care for with your build is if you run into something that runs Soothing Images, you are completely shut down. Even Soothing will slow you down quite a bit. I don't know what the skill in spot 6 is though.

each of these builds i use based on what kind of area i'm doing and with a different hero setup for each. but you won't get the result you're looking for by just loading up a warrior bar with a bunch of adren attack skills, not at all.

Too many ade-based attack skills IMO. And unless this is for PvP, as gift and kajus pointed out, you'll want some PvE skills.

Put SoH on a hero, barbs, and mop, get a monkey to c-space for you and watch damage roll in.

It's not a decent PvE Warrior build if it doesn't have "Save Yourselves!".

As others say, just a bunch of attack skills isn't what gives you huge damage output, you'd need some damage boosters like 100B or Asuran scan. Or both. Getting supported by a necro with Barbs or someone who wants to put SoH on you helps as well.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will try to switch agonazing chop for asuran scan. I'm not a big sword fan as it lacks damage skills, sure there is HB and god mode but meh.

As for the heroes, they already have all those skills. I'm running this on my heroes, it's pretty fun.

For damage in PvE, adrenaline can't compare to spamming [[Power Attack] with [[Warrior's Endurance (PvE)] and [[Asuran Scan]. It would be better with a scythe for [[Aura of Holy Might], but you can stay axe if you really want to.

Even without FGJ you can really pump up your adrenaline against groups if you have whirlwind attack and pair it with a skill to charge it back up (dragon slash, cyclone axe, crude swing).

Ball enemies, use whirlwind, use adrenal skills, use paired skill, use adrenal skills, use whirlwind, etc.... You could do pretty well with just cyclone axe, whirlwind attack, save yourselves, and say strength of honor or splinter weapon.

Of course it doesn't work so well on single targets or with bad positioning.

I'm not a huge fan of Asuran Scan in most PvE, stuff doesn't live long enough for the damage bonus from it to really matter.

I just use the basic NRA axe I am able to get a nice IAS + Double Adrn which alllows me to spam SY! and Whirlwind have having splinter weapon spammed on me because I am the only melee, and along with SoH stuff just gets rolled. I have never been a big fan of asuran scan either you have to continually stop to use and and as the above poster said stuff dies too quick anyway.

If we are talking about DPS , Asuran Scan and SoH are a must. If when you hit the target it is already at 50% HP or lower and dies faster .... you are kinda useless with or without Asuran Scan. Anyway , attacking non called targets should be better than running to a target that is going to die in 4-6 sec.

So bring a hex removal on a hero :/

Booo, pve skills are no better than ursan



Any way to OP I like Eviscerate however, in Pve I like Cleave and Whirling axe a little better. Maybe something like this


OQYTsyYK5BvFV2rQFBgWxw+MAA

And then just pick either Cleave or whirling axe.

You'll do more damage with Cleave, but if the enemies have any stances that block whirling would be better. I'd just always use Whirling, because its only 10 damage difference, and theres almost always some anti war stance :P I did some testing on the MOD and DPS between the two was the same for the most part.



You could also use one of the more popular AOE builds. I like direct damage myself better because you can really face roll things, rather than slowly kill things. For example, to reach the DPS you get with the build above (50-70) You'd have to have at least 5 enemies around you to touch the 70s, not counting crits anyway. On the MOD I was only able to reach DPS in the 40s and lower 50s while hitting 3 targets. You also would have to use a zealous axe to keep your energy up

Anyway the build looks like this

OQASEZJTgPKF7gQFCAaFGWBF



Theres also this build which is "meh" but fun to use DPS is around 40-60

OQASEZJPKFhSn2uIA0K/kgC


Other skills you could use in the following two builds are flail instead of frenzy, whichever running skill you like best or Fear me instead of wild blow.



There are other builds that are better, but for axe, thats what I would do.

I switched the 4th skill for asuran scan and wow, my output damage went up by a lot. Now which skill should I replace for save yourselves?
