Default Please critique my build...

Wa/Mo

[skill]power attack[/skill][skill]counterattack[/skill][skill]flail[/skill][skill]enraging charge[/skill][skill]dragon slash[/skill][skill]"for great justice!"[/skill][skill]lion's comfort[/skill][skill]resurrection chant[/skill]

Strength 14
Swordsmanship 14
Tactics 4
Healing Prayers 1

It's a sort of general-purpose PvE build. I've tried using:
[skill]standing slash[/skill] instead of one of the energy-based attacks.
[skill]healing signet[/skill] instead of [skill]lion's comfort[/skill]

I also realize that a resurrect skill may not always be necessary on a warrior if it's a good team, and have used skills such as:
[skill]deadly riposte[/skill] or [skill]shield bash[/skill] as a sort of cover/self protection skill.


And I'm totally open to other attribute point allotments...

Thanks!

Drop the energy skills for adrenaline skills. Drop chant for death pact or flesh. Since it's PvE I'd drop lion's comfort for save yourselves.

I have to work on getting enough faction to buy save yourselves. It seems to be in a lot of builds.. I suppose I ought to get cracking. What other adrenaline skill would you suggest, are 2 enough, or is 3 good? Thanks for the advice.

Standing Slash + Sun-Moon imo. Also, SY is awesome.

Yeah, standing slash and sun&moon slash are probably the most common on a sword bar. Silverwing/galrath aren't that bad. Just don't run final thrust.

Rebirth is also a good option for a res if you know when to use it.

I usually go w/ resurrection chant simply because it rezzes them w/ the most health. You are right, though - rebirth is good in cases where there's a team wipe and you're the only survivor.

As for the other suggestions, thank you! I keep meaning to get the faction points to gain access to said skills...

How's this?

[skill]standing slash[/skill][skill]dragon slash[/skill][skill]flail[/skill][skill]enraging charge[/skill][skill]"for great justice!"[/skill][skill]"Save Yourselves!"[/skill][skill]lion's comfort[/skill][skill]rebirth[/skill]

And [skill]sun and moon slash[/skill] in place of a rez when not needed...

As a side note, has there always been an issue w/ PvE skills not displaying the icon when used w/ the skill tags?

Not bad. Although I would drop lion's comfort for brawling headbutt, unless you think that you really need a self heal.

I'm very bad about gathering faction points... I don't have that one yet.

Even at r1 it's a good skill. The great thing about the skill is that it can keep a foe knocked down as long as FGJ is up and dslash doesn't get blocked. The damage is just a bonus.

[wiki]Brawling Headbutt[/wiki] is from GW:EN, so you get it from a quest. If you have that skill you should get [wiki]Steelfang Slash[/wiki] as well.

Arkantos is king of warrior.

I typically use this build in PvE (unless I feel like going axe in which case skills 2,3 and 4 are replaced with [skill]Eviscerate[/skill][skill]Executioner's Strike[/skill] and [skill]Disrupting Chop[/skill]):

[skill]Flail[/skill][skill]Standing Slash[/skill][skill]Sun and Moon Slash[/skill][skill]Dragon Slash[/skill][skill]"There's Nothing To Fear!"[/skill][skill]"Save Yourselves!"[/skill][skill]"For Great Justice!"[/skill][skill]Sunspear Rebirth Signet[/skill]

It does that for any skill newer than the release of Nightfall.

You can fake it though:
