as far as my warrior goes i love auspicous parry,
just spam that and riposte as much as humanly possible
However, if im not using a sword shove is quite fun in pvp. great kd skill,but it does have the draw back of disabling skill. if u use it right,tho, it works wonders

I prefer whirling axe to triple chop.
sword = quivering blade.

axe - triple chop. i really like the combo of executioners+cyclone in this skill.
swords - i like quivering blade because its low adrenal cost makes it easily spammable for some high damage. and to counter the dazed that might happen i usually have plague touch.

Axe=Triple Chop, Whirling Axe is good DPS and all but...there's no spike at all...

Sword, Quivering blade.
Axe, Evicerate.
Not much of a competition imo.
Dragon Slash does not work well with Final Thrust

Shove, and Shove.
"Disables non-attack skills". Gee, both of them...

Um... None of them are too impressive.
Dragon Slash - It's 10 Adrenaline and if it misses, that's 10 adrenaline down the drain. That in itself isn't so bad, but you also have to concider that you're missing out on the best sword skill; Final Thrust. Furthermore, you thereis simply too much blackout going around in PvP that can completely trash this skill.
Quivering Blade - Probably one of the better Warrior elites in faction, though that's not saying much. I'd say it's the best sword elite for pressure. If you do get blocked, it most likely won't effect you much as a warrior unless you're using Virulence or Shock or some other common warrior/secondary spells. 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!". Hammers and Axes all provide better pressure in most situations, but again, Final Thrust is a winner. I could see this being used. I'll save the Weapon vs Weapon debate for another time.
Whirling Axe - Same problems as Cleave, not to mention all the blocking going on in PvP. Differance between this and Quivering Blade? It actually matters if you're blocked. If you dont mind the skill disabaling and are willing to change your build into one with few Adrenaline skills, I think it might be able to do some good pressure, though I'm not sure why the hell you'd run this over Eviscerate.
Triple Chop - Suffers from the same problems as other warrior AoE skills in PvP; AoE too small. This will probably be used even less than Hundred Blades, especially since King Eviscerate and even Whirling Axe and Cleave ourperform it.

You can't conjure and use tigers fury on a warrior. You can only have 1 secondary. Make up your mind.
Dragon slash blows in PVP and whoever claims otherwise either sucks or has never tried so himself.
PS: Please try to use proper grammar in the near future. I know this is not english class but damn, that thing looks like it was typed by a 12 year old

I'd have to disagree I think Dragonslash could be quite good as a adrenal spiking skill because it keeps you with plenty of adrenaline which can be crucial when you have to call fast spikes.

They should have introduced an inverted Final Thrust style sword elite where you don't lose all your adrenaline and damage is double when hp is above 50%
That'd be worth an elite...

Umm excuse me? Are you implying that all builds with dragon slash "blow" for pvp? That generalization is sickening. While I don't claim to be GOOD at pvp. I claim to be compitent and not "suck."
Some builds actually have it work well. I run dragon slash, galrath, and silverwing. Just like Kariston said. Adren spikes = godly if you can get em on time. What if you have blind? Purge condition fixes it for me. =P.
I beat down elementalists/warriors/sins very easily in 12v12/Random Arenas. While I haven't tested in GVG i'm sure its viable. Maybe you should try it some time. Or maybe it's just not your style to play without a condition attack skill.
You should try this some time, and I think that's what
With furious mod and sword at 16 ->
Tiger Stance/Frenzy -> For Great Justice... 4 hits to get galrath up alongside silverwing slash.
If you actually get how adren works you'd understand how this goes. Eventually once you get dragon slash up attack with it, then galrath -> silerwing, and dragon again. Refreshing tiger/frenzy.
While, yes missing will destroy your combo, with for great justice and a speed enchancement, it should be more than enough to get it back.
However, this is my style of play. My problem is how people simply say that it sucks without reason at all. Have YOU tried it at all for more than a run or two?
These few skills + my own smiting skills in pvp have proven to be quite effective in downing most people ESPEICALLY the NPCs in 12v12.

I think Auspicious parry is a great skill but I just can't use it since I spam flurry. Quivering Blade is what I'm using at the moment. Flurry charges it in no time.

Flurry is bad in PvP.
PvE I like Quivering Blade. Haven't had time to mess with Dragon Slash yet, but it may very well replace Hundred Blades in my PvE build.
For PvP sword, I run Quivering Blade, Skull Crack (for sh*ts and giggles), or Charge.
Axe - nothing beats King Eviscerate but for PvE purposes, I have to say I'm impressed with Triple Chop. Cleave is better than Whirling Axe IMO since it doesn't totally screw up your adrenal efficiency and no penalty on block.
Strength - Umm...
Tactics - Auspicious Parry
Hammer - Enraged Smash is pretty nifty in PvE when you can swing it, but you'd still run a KD elite in PvP.
