W/D ~ PvP (or PvE)

Attributes

Strength - 10
Swordsmanship - 12 (+2 from Rune)
Earth Prayers - 10

Skills

Mystic Regeneration
Vital Boon
Vow of Strength [E]
Rush
Flail
Signet of Strength
Signet of Pious Light
Resurrection Signet

Equipment varies between +health and +energy, depending on personal preference; I use Furious so the wait for Rush/Flail is shorter, and then go for more +health mods.

New to PvP, which is what this build was intended for, but if it's more suitable towards PvE, I'd like input on how to make this build better for either or, PvP or PvE.

Also this is my first time writing in a forum, so my format may not be preferred as I've seen formats where skill icons are provided (no clue how to do that). All advice is appreciated, and I really do want to make some thing out of a W/D.

I do realize that the Strength is a waste in terms of attack skills, which Vow of Strength gimps the warrior in that case. But some times it pulls through. Any who, critique away!

You should use an Axe or Hammer. Since you can't use attack skills, you want a weapon that does high damage on it's own to add to VoS.

To use skill icons, [skill ]Skill Name Here[/skill ] without the spaces in the brackety bits.

On the build... I'd go for hammer. The base damage is much higher, so you'd get a lot more damage out of VoS (whereas swords have puny damage).

As for attributes... You'd still get decent mileage out of Rush and Flail at 4 (3 +1 from a minor rune) Strength, so you could buff Earth Prayers up to 12, and Hammer Mastery up to 16 (12 + helm + sup rune).

Then... Deep Wound is a killer - warriors ideally need to include it. I'd drop Mystic Regeneration and Signet of Strength (Sig's a weak skill anyways), and take Hammer Bash and Crushing Blow - when you need to get a DW on something, pull off Vow using Pious Light, and hit your enemy with Hammer Bash + Crushing Blow.

Oh cool, that would help deal out more damage compared to a sword, and to use Pious to remove VoS.... good idea.

Would a build like this also work for PvE in general?

When you can get through PvE with Mending and Power Attack...
Yes. This build would work in PvE.

Using Sig of Pious light for removing Vow and doing your attack or getting a Spike self heal or heal another 1 at the same time you heal yourself.... Never thinking that before thought. You said we could buff up to 12 earth right? Thats over 277 healing and instant sig Pious recharge.
