disrupting chop for interrupts and cyclone axe for the adrenaline (I am not a pure warrior... or pure anything for that matter).

Not fond of pure condition/damage builds using eviscerate, penetrating blow, and executioner's strike.

What i use is battle rage for fast adrenalin, then penetrating and exectutiors strike, and for more adrenalin use cyclone axe... it's really good for mobs and kills pretty quickly.

I dont see much love for cleave. Granted eviscerate is a better skill. If you are not trying to drop a condition on something ( because they will give it back to you) I go cyclone, cleave, penetrate, executioners. Constant damage. Cleave cycles through quickly. Usually however I carry disrupting chop because to me it is the most useful axe skill. With it, you can kill almost anything. One good disrupt and then a couple of axe spikes is certain doom to most things. Have you ever wailed on a monk boss for 10 minutes? One good disrupt, blam, died in a minute flat. You do need to have to practice disrupting chop and learn to watch your enemies skill patterns. This is a skill that takes skill to apply properly.

My preferred axe builds - PVE
cyclone
penetrate
disrupt
cleave

or

cyclone
disrupt
eviscerate
executioners

Looks like we all are on the same page -- eviscerate and executioners here too. I sometimes add in cyclone for energy.

It's either a no-brainer (at least with the main skills) or we're all wrong, grin.

Eviscerate, Axe Rake, Executioners in my random build. Would run Evisc, Executioners, then Penetrating outside of there.

PvE = Cleave, mostly, but I'm transitioning to eviscerate.

Evicerate+Executioner's in general.

In PvE, when I might bring a defenseive elite, I always bring Dismember, unless I don't plan to fight. Deep Wound is just that nasty.

W/R:
Strength: 11 (9+2, helm+minor rune)
Axe: 12 (9+3, sup axe)
Tactics: 11 (10+1, minor rune)
Beast Mastery: 8

Zealous Axe
Crimson Carapice Shield

Warrior's Cunning
Tiger's Fury
Cleave
Penetrating Blow
Executioner's Strike
Disrupting Chop
Power Attack
Healing Sig

That's my personal favorite axe spiker setup for PVE ... I can keep it up almost endlessly. I don't use Eviscerate because I haven't bothered capping Eviscerate yet... I'd switch to a more conditional build if I had it, probably using dolyak sig, desperation blow, or axe rake/twist, something like that.

Nice axe warriors Ftw!!

Well i dont really put much into tactics, i think i put 8 in there just so i get 107 health points!

Dump everything into Axe and Strength. At an 8 tactics you get 107 health from signet,9 secs bonetties,9 secs watch ur self, 9 secs charge, but with 11 or higher in strength you will get 12+ secs for sprint> unless you like to use stances then dump more into tactics! Dont really care much for tactics but thats just me~~~~~!!!!

Axes FTW~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd tack on a Swift Chop at the end of that combo.

But yeah, those 2 hits alone do more damage than about 80% of the combos out there in the game right now. [in just 2 swings]
