Axe - Evicerate
Sword - Dragon Slash (For you guys that say it sucks try this and you may think that it doesn't suck at least.) get Dragon Slash charged up then For Great Justice + Sun and Moon + Dragon Slash + Suna and Moon + Dragon Slash...etc etc etc. You can spam this for huge pressure until For Great Justice wears out in 20 secsonds + the one extra cycle after it wears out.
Overall Favorite - Auspicious Parry. Why cause I can spam Ripostle or counter blow. Also a stance which is practically constant since it is spammable and it blocks the next attack on you. =) Not sure how it does in PvP but in PvE it's king.

Hundred Blades. Plain and Simple.

There's nothing there that compares to Eviscerate.

However, Auspicious Parry is nifty enough on a sword Warrior, and Dragon Slash could be useful enough in a pressure build. I detest Whirling axe; it has no spike potential, is useless against an organized team since they'll be packing Guardian, and, perhaps worst of all,effectively disablesyour other adrenaline skills.

Hell, you can even shed the Dazed off with Plague Touch if you want. However, if you're running Sword, you're most likely doing it for "Charge!".

Okay, so this made me laugh. Do people even think before they type? Or do they just want to be the guy who "knows all"?

First off, Quivering Blade is good. Why? Lots of damage for low adrenaline.

Second, You cannot run Quivering blade with Virulence, rofl.

Third, Dazed does not effect shock. Shock is a skill, not a spell.

And last, not everyone takes a sword for Charge anymore, Auspicious Parry is a really nice skill, and it charges Final Thrust like wtfhax fast.

yes i have tried Dragon slash many times in PVP, even before playing around with the other sword elites and yes, dragon slash blows in PVP? Why?

because in PVP you need spike dmg, not constant pressure, if even 1 of your skill chain misses, you are screwed for a good 6 sec or so. And trust me, there are many ways for you to miss that dragon slash, starting from the blinds to the block skills. Each of them will cause you to start from step one, hence delaying your pressure build up. And its dependent on FGJ anyways. So while you are waiting for FGJ to cool down, you are a mediocre damage dealing warrior at best.

now compare this with a normal axe warrior or even a warrior with quivering blade which can spike moderatively well

Axe: Eviscerate in pvp is the only choice. Cleave if you don't have it, 'cause Whirling Axe is far too dangerous and can't spike at all.

Triple Chop for pve.

Hammer: I love Devastating Hammer 'cause it charges quite quickly and can be followed by a lot of knockdowns, even better than BackBreaker. These ones are the choices in pvp. Enraged Smash is a great skill and it spikes like no other warrior skill, but I still prefer to run a knockdown build.

When I use a sword I like very much Quivering Blade (it's good even if evaded, so you can daze a caster with Plague Touch) but I choose Skull Crack over all, it can take any caster and keep him useless al long as I want. The downside comes if it get's evaded, so it's better used along with Warrior's Cunning.

Auspicious Parry is a great elite for pve, but in pvp as a warrior you won't get attacked very much, so it gets useless.

Shove can be good if you have low adrenalin or few adrenalin skills, but the downsides are too many. I tend to prefer Coward instead, or even better Bull's Charge.

The daze effect only comes if it is BLOCKED, but not evaded. Thats what the skill description says and i haven't ever been dazed from being evaded either.

Ops, you're right, forgot part of the description...

I was referring to PvE. In PvP is should be non existant. In PvP Axe or KD is the way to go imo.
