Will review and repost at some point, thank you for the feedback and suggestions.

Final thrust in a DS build is quite counterproductive realy (as you'll lose all your adrenalin).

Also, the attribute setup is rather odd, a simple 12+1+3 sword - 10+1 tactics - 8+1 strength will do better, as flail is easely maintained at 9 strength. also the heal difference between 9 strength and 11 strength is only 7 (60 as opposed to 67) yet due to the higher tactics you'll actually get a better heal.

Thanks; I'm always really messy with the finer points of these things. Updated with your suggestions makes much more sense.

To the OP,
i like your build, it's very effective and simple to use and i don't really see any flaws. But you mentioned the other build you liked and i must say:
that build is absolutely shit. A warrior 'spamming' Necrosis, and not using his weapon to maximum effectiveness? That build=fail.

Try using it, it actually works very well.

While it's supposed to be quirky and fun, it's also effective: I used this build to beat the entire primary chain of EoTN with no difficulty. It was VERY useful against monks and bosses in particular.

I like to make builds that aren't obvious, it keeps me interested in the game and it's a challenge to find original ideas that work well. And I found the Plague Nuker build to work just fine

- Go /P to use [wiki]Enduring Harmony[/wiki] so you will have a long lasting FGJ.
- Get rid of Sever/Gash/FInal thrust. It simply doesn't work well with DS-PLJ combo, where you will spam DS which will renew itself.
- Put [wiki]"Save Yourselves!"[/wiki] in this bar. As DS will grants you +10AD in hit, you will spam SY! always, granting an effective constant +100 armor for any ally in your earshot.
-[wiki]"Finish Him!"[/wiki] is quite shitty if you ask me. With the overadre you'll got, you would benefit a lot using Adren-based PVE skills, like Norn [wiki]"Dodge This!"[/wiki], to make sure Dragon slash will hit so you always resplensih your AD pool, or Dwarf [wiki]Brawling Headbutt[/wiki], which, used with a constant AD flow from DS and KD gauntlets, will actually knock-lock any opponent, including boss non-immune to KD ones.
The DS-FGJ combo can so much be abused in so many ways. Your build is quite far from being as broken as it could be.

Thank you for the suggestions; I'll review this when I have the time.

if you're using finish him there's no reason to waste room on sever+gash as you get the dw from that.
so you can use DS->Standing->S&M

Finish Him and Gash are too redundant. One or the other.

/agreed...
Personally, I'd Sever/Gash for the most part - DS would have it charged whenever you need to DW summat - and I'd use the spare skill for Save Yourselves! because it's pure awesomesauce on a DSlasher.
In areas where the stuff don't bleed, you can go S&M or Galrath Slash and Finish Him! to keep the DW, albeit on a 15s recharge.
