I have been playing around with this and so far seem to like it. I just wanted to see what everyone else thinks about it.

P/W

Axe Mastery: 12
Leadership: 10 (9+1)
Tactics: 5
Command: 10 (8+1+1)

1. Furious Axe
2. Executioner's Strike
3. Decapitate
4. "Watch Yourself!"
5. Natural Temper
6. "Stand Your Ground!"
7. Aggressive Refrain
8. Signet of Return

Armor: Anything with Centurion's or Brawler's
Shield: 16AL req Command
Weapon: Sundering or Vamp Axe

With this setup the draw back to Decapitate is not so noticable as you will be getting energy back from leadership. With a constant increase attack speed and Natural Temper you will be able to build adrenaline rather quickly. So that you should be able to almost spam your two adrenaline attacks.

You do not have as much armor as a tanking warrior but this build was not setup for that. It is meant to be a damage build able to pump out a lot of constant damage. If you would rather not use "Stand Your Ground!" you could replace it with Blazing Finale to cause burning all around you.

With Watch and Stand you will have a total armor level of 142 with your shield against all damage. While this is a good amount of armor it is nothing compared to a tank.

I also went with Decapitate because not many people use it because of the energy and adrenaline loss it has.

What is this for? PvP or PvE?

If PvE, take a moment to check out this build

This is a build I have been running with in PvE. Though I have had some success with it in RA.

The build that you linked to is interesting. I will have to try it out sometime. Though I must say that I had gotten tired of using the Paragon as a party wide buff and wanted to make a build that could do massive spike damage. This build is more than capable of doing that against the spell casters as Decapitate does some really nice damage.

In PvE the normal tank would get aggro and then you would go in and start to mop up the spell casters of the group. Mainly made this build to be different from what everyone else is running.

and what if I just run away? think Rush would be better then "stand your ground" or blazing... cause if I'm kiting from you then blazing is kinda shit and I think other people rather kite and don't get damage instead of standing still for Stand (ofc. stand is nice if U get KDed by sum assassin or something)

That is true Flashy. This build is mainly for PvE as stated. Things kiting you are not all that big of a deal in PvE, except monks but they are easily trapped.

In RA sadly most do not think to run away all that often. Though a run or snare would work with the build.
