Question Warrior/Ranger Build

This build I have been using for some time now and its served quite well, but I'm looking for something more to add to it.
Keep in mind this is an AXE Weapon build, but because the last 3 skills remain constantly it can change between each of the warrior prime weapons.

the skills I use now are:

Disrupting Chop{AXE MASTERY}, quick interruption.

Dismember{AXE MASTERY}, Deep wound for nice HP drop.

Axe Twist {AXE MASTERY}, use after Dismember to induce weakness for a nice drop in damage dealt to your self.

GLADIATORS DEFENSE {E} or AUSPICIOUS PARRY {E} {BOTH TACTICS}, these I use for Blocking, and Gladiators Def. Deals dmg to each melee attacker that attacked and was blocked, Parry gives quick adrenal boost.

Apply Poison{WILDERNESS SURVIVAL}, nice degeneration against enemies, especially against Healing Hands W/Mo's.

Troll Unguent{WILDERNESS SURVIVAL}, gives a decent Health regeneration which I like to keep at +7-8points.

Healing Signet {TACTICS}, Basically a nessecity to Tactics Warrior builds.

~Attributes:
Axe/Sword/Hammer Mastery: 12
Wilderness Survival: 10
Tactics: 10

¤This build is used mainly for its Blocking capabilities to help reduce the amount of melee damage a warrior can receive to help tank through crowds of foes, and its ability to provide quick health regeneration.

Please post with any ideas you have on making this build better.

Drop all your Tactic skills besides Healing Signet. Replace with Dolyak Signet and "Watch Yourself!". That should provide all the +armor for damage reduction you need...

Yeah I have no idea what this build is for but I seen apply poison and healing hands w/mo's so im guessing its for RA. Also I didnt know W/mo's still use healing hands . Im not a fan of Axe Twist so that would get dropped for executioners strike and my 3 hit combo would be dismember/executioners/crit chop. Also your mistaken if your annoyed at W/mo's hitting you when I find running casters to be a pain to deal with about a snare(axe rake) or a speed buff which I dont think you put.

if you are going for a "tank" to stand and take the damage while others destroy the enemy I would suggest dropping glads and adding melandru resilience (spell check) as your elite. that and troll ungent can be spammed one right after the other for almost continual 5+ pips in HP regen. I use it alot in solo builds.

if you are going to use apply poison, definatley use a sword so you can get bleeding in there too. put wilderness survival at low since youre in melle and constantly reapplying the poison. i would also drop troll unguent because it just isnt practical for warriors, especially in pvp due to the 3 second activation time. gladiators defense is good, i just recommend putting tactics at 12 to use it so you can get a good 10 seconds out of it.

Tanks are very effective in Random Arenas, for a reason Ensign pointed out, once.

If you are a moron you should play a W/Mo with Healing Hands, Healing Breeze, Vigorous Spirit, and stances. Everyone will know you're a moron, but you'll be an *alive* moron while your team collapses around you.

Actually yeah tanks are effective in RA because 50% of the RA population are idiots who would actually go for the tank.

That doesn't make them effective at all. If your stuck with a team of morons who die and RQ, your stuck against 4 others tanking. Stalemates won't get you anywhere.

i hope you dont mean "tanks" as warriors in general, but as warriors that are there to absorb aggro. i personnaly dont use glads defense and ripostes but i dont understand whats so bad about them. glads defense is a great blocking skill and give you good time to use healing signet or to escape. if im running a sword build i only bring deadly riposte, not the whole riposte, deadly riposte and auspicous parry crap. ripostes and glads defense are extremley effective against assassins specifically because they tend to throw out a combo fast not giving them enough time to stop if they see the ripostes, however any smart melee character will see the ripostes and glads defense and just walk away..

Explain to me how staying alive in any PvP scenario will help you...
Not saying you should go out and suicide, but hell.... if you are the last man alive, your defense won't matter compared to numbers.

Auspicious parry was hot as shit pre-nerf, it blocked everything (including wand attacks), instantly recharged, so you'd have final thrust up in about 3 seconds.
