Hi, this is my first warrior, and I have just completed NF with her. I have been running the exact same build since day one, and would appreciate advice and tips on how to better it.

W/N

My build is:

Power Attack
Cleave {E}
Wild Blow (I have the rangers in NF)
Dolyak Signet (I only use this if I am attacking a clump of enemies, otherwise too slow to reach next target)
Healing Signet ( I very rarely us this, Dolyak keeps me alive long enough)
Sprint (I use this in a PUG if they wont go slow enough to let me draw aggro to tank)
Plague Touch (not much use against enemies that spams conditions, but handy to kill your target faster)
Sunspear Rez.

In a fight I just spam 1 and 2. The energy use is extremely low because by the time power attack recharges, I have regained 3-4 energy. So basically I have energy the whole fight. I really like cleave because with the 4 adren required, I can basically spam it nonstop. With just those two skills I do alot of damage to my target.

Any way I can improve this for PvE?

i take it u have just got nf then?
then id go

Cleave {E}
Agonizing chop
Cyclone Axe
Dismember
Executioner's Strike
Sprint
Healing sig
sunspear points

IMO plage touch is not so needed, but thats ur choice take out waht u belive is not as good a plage touch

not to sure on atteabutes,

but use cyclone, desmember,cleave, and exacutions as damage dealers, try and keep deep wount on at all time so Agonizing chop can interupt the spells. and seeign as most are addenalin based u only use up 5 e for cyclone axe, a grat move that is, u could add dorlaks in there, but i dont think its always worth it.

IMO Cleave is one of the worst axe elites there is. Replace it with Eviscerate or Triple Chop.

Heres my ideal build:

Triple Chop/Eviscerate
Executioners Strike
Dismember
Penetrating Chop
Penetrating Blow
IAS (I use Flurry ATM, but haven't tried Flail yet)
Healing Signet
Rez

I don't find Power attack to be very useful, especially as you have more powerful skills in the weapon specific attributes (Same thing with Wild Blow). I think Dolyak Signet on a PvE Warrior (I'm not talking about farming here) is not very useful as it severely reduces movement speed so enemies walking backwards could probably outrun you. No hits means no damage and no adrenaline, therefore meaning you are not contributing to your group.

Other skills (Sprint, Plague Touch, Healing Signet and rez) are fine by me.

^Care to share why you are using evicerate?... the penetrating axe skills are terrible too, very low damage and an adrenal drain.

If you got acces to Faction for PvE I like this

Lion's Strength
Cyclone Axe
Tripple Chop/Cleave
Wild Blow
Executioners Strike
Doylak Signet
Watch Yourself!
Res Sig

Triple Chop is very good PvE, you should consider it. Cyclone is similarly good due to adrenal buildup and damage, but only if you use zealous mod, I think.
