@Master: I never expected this to perform as well as PRage or Shock Axe. I believe Mega Storm might have though. Antidote Signet was something I was tied on with my build. I liked it but I felt that a bit of healing would have been better. As I said, I haven't built this and don't plan to so I don't know how well or bad it'll run compared to an Antidote build.

What other elite would be better however? i sifted through every Warrior elite and Auspicious Parry seemed like this best for quickly building up adrenaline.

No i'm not under the assumption that these builds do or will rock at all. This has all been something to look into for fun, and see if we all see something that might work well.

I did have another idea for PVP use (maybe) but it might be better looked at by a serious hammer warrior the more I look at it.

W/A [Crippling Slash][Knee Cutter][Symbolic Strike][To The Limit!][Signet of Malice][Resurrection Signet][Sadist's Signet][Rush] ? No freakin clue if this is decent or not as I can't test it today. Looks like it still needs [For Great Justice] but I think the PVP version is dumb from what I remember.

Try this. It's not a tank and its fun to use.

[steady stance][desperation blow][drunken blow][symbolic strike]["watch yourself!"][healing signet][antidote signet][resurrection signet].

Symbolic isn't as strong as in other builds BUT, Steady Stance keeps up your adrenaline so fast that you'll be spamming Symbolic Strike.

BTW, this build leaves lots of att points unused. Feel free to fiddle it around. Probably add in [flail]

Having 3 signets is enough imo for symbolic strike, thats a 4 adren skill with +36 attack, which is actually really decent.

For me, I run W/R, with antidote, signet of str, and rez signet, with charm/comfort pet, never rampage alone, symbolic strike, and battle rage :/

[symbolic strike][decapitate][bane signet][strength of honor][rush][healing signet][purge signet][castigation signet] Or [resurrection signet] (depends if you're in AB or not)

Spam Symbolic as much as you can, live in rush, run stuff down, kill it. Then once you get some pressure going about 70-50% HP, hit Decapitate > Castigation sig to trigger the deep wound spike(if you can, hit em with bane sig to knock em down first). I only ever ran it in AB and RA but it was fun.

If you're in a party with a guy who can reliably poison the enemy(ranger or something), You can take all the smiting stuff out for Deadly Arts stuff and assassin signets and bring Toxic shock. I think it went like
[symbolic Strike][Decapitate][Signet of Toxic Shock][rush][Iron Palm][Signet of Malice][sadist's signet]or [Healing Signet] (depends on if you want to invest in tactics)[resurrection signet] or [signet of twilight](again one for AB one for RA)

Again, live in rush, chase your foes with symbolic and crit them, when you got a guy poisoned and weak, debuff them if you have twilight, iron palm em to the ground then whack em with decap and toxic shock.

Yeah. Personally I don't think a build should ever focus on Symbolic Strike. The reasons are as you can see: you force yourself to waste your elite and other skills just to spam it. I find it much more useful in a build where you naturally have two or three Signet's. If that's the case then it makes a great non-attribute specific skill because you get a 4 adrenaline skill which has +24/36 damage in addition to your normal attack damage. Awhile back I ran a build with just three Signets in it and very often managed to get 70+ damage from Symbolic Strike and the build wasn't even focused on it (this was due to armor piercing, damage bonuses and critical hits).
