I've been feeling that I dont do enough dmg, and maybe you guys can help tweek my build a bit. My build is:

WarriorsEndurence
Drunken Master
Asuran Scan
Power Attack
Protectors Strike
Dismember
Cyclone axe
I am the strongest

Im a bit iffy about Protector's Strike since it hits low if the target isnt moving, its spammy though but maybe I could use the energy on something else. The next thing is I am the strongest, im using this because my Asuran rank is low and the extra +16 helps but I feel this is skill is wasting a slot I could be using for something else. I play in proph&EoTN btw. I'd like to hear your opinions on this please.

Ok look. I don't know what your norn rank is, but at max rank, I Am The Strongest is basically a skill that:

* Does 160 damage every 20 seconds
* Cost 5 energy
* Can be used ahead of time to allow it to recharge before you need it again
* Isn't ever wasted

This shout is ridiculously efficient. Yes you should use it.

Looking at your build, I don't see why it should be low-damage. Did you test it at the Master of Damage? What's your average DPS?
Also, what attributes do you use? I'm guessing 12+1+1 and 12+1, but I could be wrong.

Considering your proph/eotn restriction, this looks good to me.

If your Vanguard rank is good, you might want to consider bringing Ebon Battle Standard of Honor instead of "I Am The Strongest!". Which one is better really depends on your Vanguard and Norn ranks, your team composition and the area you're playing. If there's a minion master on your team, EBSoH is almost always the better choice.

If you want to further increase your damage, you should probably start looking at your teammates. Strength of Honor can offer a nice boost, as can Order of Pain or Order of the Vampire.

He also mentioned owning Proph/EotN only, which you also failed to note. In addition, HB is definitely not manly, though this is subjective.

Anyways, at OP: Your bar is pretty solid. As mentioned earlier the best option to increase your damage output would be midline support. Strength and Honor is insanely strong in pve now, I would strongly recommend this on a hero.

The only other place I really see room for improvement is perhaps IAS. Drunken master is nice if you're using alcohol, but rather mediocre otherwise. Proph/EotN are rather IAS restrictive, but you may find frenzy an effective alternative. With suitable cancel of course. Rush is ideal. Drop prot strike should you choose to take frenzy.

Drunken master sober is still better than any other IAS in the game.

Cyclone axe is rather terrible to be honest. If mobs are balled then necros or caster AoE will wipe them fast and the AoE from cyclone won't be a drop in the bucket.

Biggest increase would be, as mentioned, strength and honor, if you can get in a group with someone with great dwarf weapon that stacks wonderfully. With those two and asuran scan I'll hit on the low end for 60 and into the lower 100's on crits.

Get an orders necro maintaining soh on you, and otherrwise you're fine. You should be hitting huge numbers with asuran scan and powerattack.

I have placed strength and honor on my wep, and now I need help choosing between vamperic or zealous. Vamp would give me more dmg while with zealous will help with my energy.

WE should be enough Emanagement. Go vamp.
