PvP Axe: Sunder/Vamp (Prot Spirit lawls), Elemental, Zealous
PvP Sword: Zealous, Vamp, Elemental
PvP Hammer: Sunder, Vamp, Ele (I don't really know)

PvE Axe: Why are you using an Axe?
PvE Sword: Zealous, Vamp, Furious (don't really need to spend the extra plat for Sundering or just don't get a third sword)
PvE Hammer: Seriously, why are you using a Hammer and not a Sword?

Your really going to use the same mods in PvP as in PvE since the mods are build based rather than game play type.

That being said I think most go with Vamp or Elemental in PvP since there is a lower chance of zealous returning enough energy to be worth while. If your not using a conjure then its likely you'll run a Vamp/Sundering set of weapons, switching as needed.

In PvE just about any build can work so just about any mod can be used to fit your build.

Though there is no conjure earth it is something they should concider adding at this point since the reasons not to have been made moot. Water magic now has almost = armor enchants as earth and snare spells + Conjure Frost.

Builds are based on gameplay type; people don't run the same warrior build in both PvE and PvP.

Energy is much more important on a PvP warrior; not having a zealous weapon swap is setting yourself up for failure.

I agree that a zealous weapon should always be available to a warrior in both pve and pvp ~ the main difference I find is with kiting in pvp. In pve a zealous weapon will always regenerate more energy than you lose with the 1 pip energy degen. In pvp you will find it necessary to weapon swap far more frequently to maintain optimum energy management.

My elemental weapon is almost always Ebon when I am not running a conjure, this is because it is the least likely +10 vs damage reduction mod you are likely to come across on an opponant.

I also use furious when running a dragonslash build for when FGJ is on downtime. Double adrenaline on a Dslash hit or a enraging charge hit is very nice indeed.

Sundering I tested myself on the new DPS dummy and I'm not going to use it again. You can try it yourself the gain is practically worthless.

I say go with something that complements your build. With zealous and some other e-management strategy a warrior can effectively use spells that are out of reach normally. My most recommended option is if you're going to use a condition get the lengthener. Deep wound at 33% longer? That's woot. Or you can take an elemental mod and use the conjure spell. Whatever you want but match the weapon to the build, don't buy into a 'standard' mod set that's pretty much the same as getting 30hp and no real bonus.

If you're in to energy-based IAS and energy skills, zealous prefixes let you spam more. If I use Triple Chop, Cyclone Axe, Hundred Blades or Whirlwind Attack, zealous shines.

Otherwise I use an appropriate elemental mod.

No, it's stupid because an enemy with DW should be dying in the next 10 seconds.

But when you throw the PvE skills Brawling Headbutt and "Save Yourselves!" next to Dragon Slash, it looks very sexy.

Admittedly, Triple Chop makes for a stronger AoE guy, but I couldn't care. Splinter Weapon is win.

cyclone axe+whirling attack, combined with eviscerate and executioner's. deal excellent AoE with cyclone+whirling, at the same time charge up eviscerate and executioner's to finish off leftovers.

i mean, i suppose sword is better than axe for pve, but i don't have a sword.

ontopic:

the mods are primarily vamp, sundering, zealous, and elemental of any type. the other ones are pretty situational.

You're either playing a different game or you don't know anything about the current state of warriors in PvE. Dragon slash + brawling headbutt + save yourselves + FGJ = gfg, you're a beast.

Oh, you don't have GWEN.

Dragon slash + save yourselves + FGJ = gfg, you're still a beast.

Triple chop + cyclone axe + whirlwind still beats a Dslash bar for DPS in PvE.

AoE > Single target destruction.
