Curse

Cleave (elite)
Sheild Stance
Bonettis Defense
Healing Signet
Power Attack
Strip Enchantments
Cyclone Axe
Disrupting Chop

I would spam power attack and cleave to deal more damage along with cyclone axe for multiple enemies. Shield Stancwe would provide some defense and cover during healing signe and bonettis defense wouildhn help defense and energy as well. Disrupting chop would be my disrupter and strip encahntments would be a antienchantment speel and a healing one too.

First, that isn't a complete build, if you really want help, post your attributes. Since you didn't, let me tell you this. If it isn't axe at 16, and strength at 10+, it's bad. Next, drop healing signet, it's garbage, by the time you use it, you're dead anyways. Drop Shield stance and bonetti's for the same reason, they're total garbage because by the time you're being targeted, it's too late, and you're only delaying the inevitable. Strip isn't terrible, but try to work rend in instead, if you're just taking the top enchant off, it's probably a cover, and it won't do you any good. Next, cyclone axe is such a terrible skill it's laughable. The only time you're surrounded by enemies, is -once again- too late. You're only going to be focused when the rest of your team is dead, and the enemy mages certainly won't stand in a nice circle for you to target when you're on the offensive. Finally, drop cleave for eviscerate, it's a better elite in almost every regard, and get rid of power attack, it's garbage, you're better off with another axe adren, like executioners or penetrating. The good? I like disrupting chop since it's pretty spammable, and can lock out good spells.

Possibly he is wanting this not to be a PvP build? You know such builds do exist. If this is a farming / RP build then it is a completely different story.

First, if it's an RP build, he wouldn't ask for advice, since the nature of RP builds is that you play them just so for aesthetic reasons. And farming builds are a dime a dozen on these forums, the PvP builds are really the end-all of this game.

Err....actually, this is a pve build, for pvp I would use a sword since their skills are more fine tuned for pvp. bTW, What healing skills should I use if i drop healing signet?. Bonettis defense would be a good energy recoverer so I would keep it. Shield Stancew would provide some instant defense and cover me during healing signet.

For PvE, it really doesn't matter, it's very easy to win PvE, you could probably bring 7 henchies, and just tell them to attack, and not do anything yourself and still win. PvP-wise, axe is still more DPS, a sword has a littly more utility though.

That may be true but there are still good and bad PvE builds. That being said what I think Min means is a good PvP build will usually also be a good PvE build. It just doesn't work the other way around for the most part. Thus if you make your build into a good PvP build it'll also work well in PvE. The bonus is you don't have to change anything or much if you decide you want to go have fun in one of the arenas or tombs.

Defensive stances on a warrior aren't too bad in PvE because mobs will just sit there and try and hit you instead of moving to another target like would happen in PvP. Plus as long as your monks stand far enough back the mobs will just aggro on you. That being said I'd only take 1 defensive stance. Sheild stance is pretty amazing as it lasts for so long. If you really need the energy though take bonetti's.

Regardless of whether it's PvE or PvP you still want to max out your offensive attribute line to 16 (in this case axes). Try to get your hands on a superior axe rune. I wouldn't really bother stripping enchantments in PvE as mobs don't seem to use enchantments very well. Unless it's something like shatter enchatment that actually does damage. I would just try to get in as much damage as possible.

Healing Signet is viable in PvE cause you can run away and use it then come back.

PvE huh? Go curses...

In melee mobbing [which happens a LOT when just playing/farming] you'll want to stuff the dmg a mob can do to you.

Best anti-mob skills a curses [10 minimum] Warrior can wield?
Enfeebling Blood
Mark of Pain
Shadow of Fear

I run a Victory is Mine build but I've posted it already somewhere before.

Also, going 16 for axe means you pretty much lose out on everything else. I wouldn't recommend it but that's just my opinion. My stats are:

str: 7+1
axe: 10+2
tactics: 9+1 [shield requirement and REALLY helps Victory is Mine]
curses: 10

2 points left

12/10/10/8

Gives a lot more options then when purely specialized. Not only that but it also becomes a bit harder to counter since with these stats, you can just readjust yourself to lots of good situations.

Wow really? People just run around with random skills in PVE??? That must be why everyone dies so fast.

That's wrong, your PvE build is more important than your PvP build because that is where you are figuring how to work your build.

Also for your above statements on his skills, I'll agree that all of those skills together is kind of useless, but no some people use them. I used to use bonetti's stance for instant energy regen. Yes it is useful. Do you even have a warrior?
