so this build is just somthing i have been playing with and i like the way it works so i thought i would throw it up and see what ppl think maybe give me a few tips or somthing that may work better

its a primary warrior build the sub class can be anything
im useing skills that are found in eye of the north
i call the build adrenaline junky do to the fact that almost all the skills are adrenaline skills

stats are
12+1 str
12+1 axe mastery
my weapon is a furious grinning dragon axe of shelter
damg +19% below 50% health
double adrenaline gain (10% chance)
+7 armor physical attacks

the skills i use are:
for great justice(100% more adrenaline)
furious axe(+31 damg and 3 adrenaline striks if blocked)
keen chop(always a critical hit)
penitrating chop(20% ap)
brawling headbutt(+45 damg and knock down) <--this skill is from eye of the north
low blow(+45 damg +30 more and cracked armor if foe is knocked down)
low blow is also from eye of the north as well

my other 2 skills are endure pain and rebirth but they can be switched out for what ever skill you feel would work better

the reason behind this build is that in the eye of the north you fight monsters that damg your energy and as a warrior you hardly have energy any way so i thought of a way to be able to still attack and not need energy at all
now i understand that this build is far from perfict and some one has most likly already thought of it but if they did i could not find it so i just thought i would post it and see what ppl thought of it.

thanks

so after looking threw the posts more i have discovered that some one may have already developed this build as i thought and thats fine i just wanted to know if any one knows what the build is called could they let me know thanks

Needs an elite and an Increased Attack Speed skill.

This is all you need.

Eviscerate
Body blow
Brawling heabutt
Low blow
Flail
For great justice
Enraging charge
Rebirth or res signet

Better?

As it is your selection of attacks seems a bit random, this version (with eviscerate) has an elite and will output quite a bit of damage especially with for great justice and flail, don't forget to disrupt and induce cracked armor with brawling headbutt/low blow.

u might want to head over to the warrior guide here in the campfire,warrior section:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10326347,also for builds
u can check http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page to the warrior build there.
Now about your build,first your attributes,u should have 12+1 strength and 12+1+1 axe mastery(+1 from rune,and +1 from headpiece),as for the build try getting an elite in there,since u are using an axe i would suggest [cleave],[eviscerate] or u can use[warrior's endurance] which is in strength.
For weapon imo u should use a axe with +30 hp,+15^50,and sundering,zealous ,vampiric,furious mod depending on the build.Also u want to bring along an ias(increased attack speed) skill like[frenzy],[flurry] or better yet [drunken master]or [flail] if u have nightfall,if u attack faster it means u do more dmg.As for the skills u have:for great justice is a good skill to have,furious axe,penetrating chop,keen chop are not as good as they look,there are better options available like[dismember],[executioner's strike],[disrupting chop],[power attack]-all this are core skills as for eotn skills u have [body blow].
I hope this has helped u,also for further assistance post what campaigns do u have,i don't know if u just have prophecies +eotn or u just want to use eotn skills.
P.S. if u do not have access to a decent axe,shield pm me ingame ( Lord Nowe ) and i will give u one.

ok well thanks for the insight i was wondering about adding battle rage as my elite and maybe tiger stance for faster attacks i chose tiger stance do to the fact that i dont have nightfall and all the good attack speed skills are in nightfall......is there somthing better i can throw in other then tiger stance?

and to let you know what i have i use core eotn and factions i still havent gotten nightfall yet

subarucar · May 17, 2009, 06:23 AM // 06:23

Battle Rage is a stance, and therefore cannot be used with Tiger Stance. On my warrior i go ranger secondary, and take Never Rampage Alone, as this is a non-stance attack speed increaser, i then fill the bar with Adrenaline skills. But as you do not have NF this wont work for you, im unsure if there are other IAS's that are not stances, but if there are, they would make a nice combination with Battle Rage.

Tiger stance is pretty bad, as it has to much down time, you could try frenzy, just remember to bring a cancel stance. Usually frenzy works fine, as the AI target lower armoured people, and leave warriors alone.

Lux Aeterna · May 17, 2009, 06:53 AM // 06:53

Battle rage is alright, the double adrenaline gain can make up for not having an IAS, however flail will always do more damage.

Tiger stance is only semi-usable, its main problem is short duration + long recharge time, and if you get a random blind / block it ends.

You could bring both frenzy and battlerage, then use frenzy only when not taking damage. I do this sometimes in pvp but it's slightly less effective than a regular frenzy/rush axe.

I bet Nightfall is like 10$ now.

legacyofkain85 · May 17, 2009, 10:14 AM // 10:14

since u have eotn i strongly suggest [drunken master],or since u wanted to use [battle rage],u could use it with [weapon of aggression] by going rit secondary,although u will need to spec 9-10 in channeling,lose time casting it,and use a zealous axe for energy management.

If you're bad and you have bad monks, you're right. If you're decent and you have decent monks, you're wrong.

Chicken Ftw · May 18, 2009, 06:22 AM // 06:22

I run frenzy all the time. My monk knows I'm bringing it and I know the behaviors of all the retarded enemies, so it's never really a problem.

_Nihilist_ · May 19, 2009, 03:00 AM // 03:00

If Frenzy is a kick-ass skill in PvP, where the opponents are human, and can watch for you to Frenzy then spike your ass, how is it not good in PvE when the enemies won't attack you because you are the highest-AL of your party?

'Splain, please?

Lux Aeterna · May 19, 2009, 03:35 AM // 03:35

Lots of random damage, lots of AoEs in pve, also enemies actually do attack warriors, it's just a bit random. It's impractical to have an IAS which you can't use under pressure in pve. I might try it though, it sounds cool.

Also spiking a warrior in frenzy is suprisingly difficult.

Personally I use flail in both pve (dragon slash) and pvp (hammer).
Combined with bull's on recharge frenzy just runs me out of energy quickly

i just did a 4 man vq with sabway, as a war, everything was balling up between me and the minions. with frenzy, that ability is nearly gone.
in 8 man frenzy/rush is more viable than in 4 or 6

Say what? Spiking a Warrior in Frenzy is surprisingly difficult? Last time I checked, it's half as hard to spike a Warrior in Frenzy as it is if not in Frenzy. There are also some enemies in HM that can spike a Warrior in 2-3 quick hits, even when not in Frenzy, with 600+ HP and 96-116AL.

Lux Aeterna · May 22, 2009, 03:35 AM // 03:35

To be honest my only relationship to frenzy is walking all over axe wars with hammer.

Are we talking about pvp or pve here ?
