i would prefer sever artery+gash over power attack and galrath for deep wound ability, but that's personal preference ;-)

Superior:

Sever artery
Gash
Sun and moon slash
Bull's strike
100Blades
Frenzy
Rush
Res sig

That's for pvp, my guild leader made me run it for barbs train but I liked the build enough to try it later.
The damage is quite nice but it's a bit weaker than other warrior builds due to its lack of shutdown/disruption/utility.

You'd want to use something a bit similar for pve, but pve is painfully easy so it doesn't really matter.
Don't bother with the conjure, get an IAS, use zealous.

All in all I'd suggest you pick a different elite unless you're running barbs or a MoP necro (which also nixes your conjure).
Hundred blades only has 60% uptime which makes it quite bad compared to other things you could do.

Note on this:

Sever artery
Gash
Sun and Moon Slash

This is pretty much THE sword spike, you can run anything else but that combo is just the best unless you're doing Dragon Slash, or final thrust just for fun.

well i know the uptime isnt that good however i used a dslash godmode build for a long time and im not inpressed if u use this build with server attey gash u could spike with aoe so i still think this is better and the conkure can be forgotten

If you're running Hundred Blades without having a Necro placing Mark of Pain then you're losing out.

Conjure [Element] means that you have less physical damage triggers of MoP, which is why I wouldn't suggest it, but if you still want to use it, then go for it.

Winterclaw · Dec 24, 2009, 05:31 PM // 17:31

Drop galrath for whirlwind. You'll lose out on single target damage, but you'll get more AoE. As Nihilist suggested if you have a MoP necro then drop the conjure element and switch to a non-elemental weapon.

_Nihilist_ · Dec 24, 2009, 06:39 PM // 18:39

I hear Chocobo Feathers work wonders as non-elemental sources of damage. /hide

The damage you get from conjure and galrath are both very marginal. Conjure is also very bad on it's own, because it can't be combined with barbs/MoP. Your "money" combo is HB + whirlwind, and so you want to revolve your skills around that IMO.

[build prof=W/any Swordsmanship=12+1+1 Strength=12+1][Hundred Blades][Whirlwind Attack][Sun and Moon Slash][Optional][Optional][Frenzy]["For Great Justice!"]["Save Yourselves!"][/build]

Optional 1 should be either enduring harmony or mark of pain ([email protected]). Optional 2 should be a PvE skill - BuH! is good for damage if you can't think of anything else.

You can use Drunken Master as your IAS if you don't like frenzy, but flail is very bad because foes are going to scatter, and things in PvE do kite, believe it or not. It also takes up adren, which means it's going to take longer to get in your first whirlwind attack.

You also want to take a hero with MoP and splinter on it. I suggest this:

[build prof=Rt/any Channel=12+1+1 Resto=3][Signet of Spirits][Splinter Weapon][Spirit Siphon][Barbs][Mark of Pain][Optional][Optional][Optional][/build]

MoP and barbs should both be manual-casted for best effect.
