im using the following build

sever artery
galrath slah
deadly riposte
riposte
watch yourself!
Healing hands
mending
balt spirit

i used to use galrath+final slash but it took all my adrenaline for riposte/watch yourself

so should i use sever+gash.. or is it fine? or galrath+pure strike

ne comments on my build would be appreciated

ok, first off, if this is pvp, you are not going to ever get anywhere except in RA. just horrible. if this is pve, then whatever. you can run whatever you like and it usually wont matter. but here is my advice.

drop the monk attribute lines. warriors function very well with just there own attribute lines. mending is worthless. 6 hp per second is not even worth the initial energy cost, upkeep, or the downside of having it shattered. never run it, aside from maybe some solo farm builds or maybe running. healing hands can be nice, but you can get good healing from the tactics line and save your elite. i like baltz spirits more than i like mending but there are better skill out there IMO.

ok, if you are doing to run sever, no reason not to run gash. deep wound is just too powerful to leave out. i dont know what chapters you have, but if you have factions, you may like dragon slash. great dmg and can work great with charging other skills.

maybe a skill bar like this:

sever artery
gash
galrath
dragon slash
"watch yourself"
flail
heal sig
res sig

nothing set in stone though. you can make room for other skills, like sun and moon to help build adren. or my favorite, "for great justice". get swords above 14 and you get a continuous dragon spam. 20 seconds of some serious dmg and fun.

Dude, wammos are good for re-useable res skills, running, and solo-farming. Otherwise leave the monk skills alone.

Mending? As previously mentioned, it only gives 6 hp a second, whereas Live Vicariously will give ~14 per second. I don't recommend using it though because Healing Signet > Monk healing. Remember, Warriors are for beating the crap out of things. Monks are for healing. Don't compromise. It doesn't work.

Also, a MAJOR thing you are missing - a res! No matter how good you think your build is, always take a res and use it.

Heres what I use for sword:

Strength: 9
Swordsmanship: 16
Tactics: 11

Sun and Moon Slash
Standing Slash
Galrath Slash
Silverwing Slash
Dragon Slash
Flurry/Flail
Healing Signet
Res Signet/Rebirth

You probably would have gotten more responses in the Farming section.

Get Gash, then. Healing Hands is garbage, get Dolyak Sig if you need that much health. At least get something like Glad's Defense, even though that still sucks balls.

If you're playing solo farming, and that's the only reason you should have both ripostes on you, you could use hundred blades for the elite. Just aggro a mob or two, charge any casters you need to kill (monks/mes/necs), get all the melee guys on you and take one step back. The melee guys will all follow you and put themselves in your forward arc for you to HB. Fully charges up adren and you can pretty much spam ripostes and watch yourself all day. Sever+gash to bleed and deep wound to kill quicker. Take dolyaks like lightninghell suggests, that and WY are enough for you to tank till all the melee guys die and you can mop up any leftovers. So I guess it's:

Sever
gash
riposte
d.riposte
hundred blades
watch yourself
dolyak sig
heal sig

No need for res if you're solo farming, and if you got both WY and dolyaks up you can even use heal sig while under attack against most enemies.
