I have recently made the decision to buy a Fissure of Woe helmet for my warrior, however before investing the large amount of money, i became puzzled over what attribute helm i should get.
I already have a 15K Ascalon helm (not charr hide goddamit!) with a tactics attribute,so thats really out of the question, but im torn between Swords and strength.
At the moment I am leaning towards swords, but i would really like everyone elses views and opinions on which to buy, thanks in advance for your help

Weapon mastery. Always weapon mastery. There is never a reason to get a +tactics or +strength helm on a warrior.

What the good Dr said

The only times you'll require Str or Tactics helms is for farming/tanking DoA/Deep... where you'll be piled under so many monsters you can't see your Fellblade, let alone your helm.

For the other 99.9% of PvE where tanking is a retarded waste of time, Weaponmastery = ftw.

The problem with gettin a weapon mastery helm is that if you decide to use another weapon, you'll be wearin a slightly useless helm. I was close to gettin a fow helm with +1weapon till I realized I switch weapons too much to make it worth it.

If I had to choose, I'd probably get +1strength since it'll always benefit you no matter what weapon you use. You'll still be able to get 15 in your weapon at least.

Correction - +1 Strength is equally useless regardless of what weapon you use

Pretty much every warrior build makes use of Strength offensively (flail, protector's strike, bull's strike, sometimes power attack).

get one for the weapon mastery you like the most, that's what you'll be using for pve, and you'll enjoy it more.
I only had money for one fow helm, i got the hammer mastery one, and am very happy with it, as i enjoy hammers

neither of these need high attribute points. also, power attack is hammer-ish also, so is prot strike, so is flail.

There is almost never a reason to get +tactics or +strength on a warrior.

I actually carry a Tactics helm when I decide to play stance tank for either (1) solo PvE play or (2) in group PvE play in those rare circumstances when body-blocking works (e.g. The Deep).

Just do what my warrior does, get multiple helms that will look good matching, get your obsidion axe (just saying), and get a 1.5k or something sword helm, than just switch on and off
