What do you guys think about this build:

Axe Mastery: 12
Beast Mastery: 4
Expertiese: 12 (+2)
Wilderness Sruvival: 10 (+3)

Apply Poison
Cyclone Axe
Swift Chop
Cleave [E]
Tiger's Fury
Lightning Reflexes
Dryder's Defence
Troll Unguent

The idea with only 3 axe skills is that youre able to spam all of them with the high expertiese, and the cleave generates some pretty good damage for a ranger, and the cyclone axe and apply poison is a classic. I do kinda miss the bleeding though. Thoughts/suggestions? Id like to get an interupt skill in there, but there dont seem to be any, because distracting blow seems to be too weak. Thanks in advance!

Looks like a strong build to me, but I would reccommend Eviscerate as your elite skill. The deep wound can come in handy. The poison is a good idea ( It's a classic I know, but sill ownage ). Instead of Dryders I would take Whirling with me, cause it lasts longer.

And a minor Beast mastery rune would come in handy. Tiger's Fury is s*cky with low Beast mastery so.. take another stance for it, or more BM.

7 seconds of tigers fury is enough for me, and eviscerate takes a lot more adrenaline then cleave does, so i cannot use it nearly as often.

Disrupting Blow too weak!!!!!!

If you learn to time it you can disable half a monks entire skill bar or kill those naughty eles with their annoying meteor storms!!!!!!!

Hm hm...I wonder, with Cyclone Axe and Apply Poison, and maybe a Throw Dirt, you coyuld go with Victory is Mine! and basically have unlimited energy. That is a lot of conditions to fuel the sucker. Could even get good healage out of it if ye went some into Tactics.

And yes, Distracting Blow is probably the best Warrior disruptive skill I've seen. Sure it does no damage, but when you can interrupt entire groups of enemies and lock up their skills for a nasty twenty seconds...who cares?

Hmm...Tigers and Reflexes both? Seems kinda redundant. If I were thee, and I had to have an AS buff, I'd go with Tiger's. The non-attack skill lockdown sucks, but you can trip it mostly whenever you want, and Dryder's Defenses/Whirling Defense can handle the defense aspect. You could dump one of those and throw in an attack skill to replace the lost Cleave.

Admittedly, I've got no idea how a Warrior works, so this is just mental construction, but it might help ye look a bit outside the attack box, hm? :-P

The reason i have both tigers fury and lightning reflexes is because i need defense more so than warriors. So i need 2 evasion skills. And i think that cleave is actually better DPS than eviscerate, so im gonna keep cleave. Disrupting might replace dryders, but i dunno.
