Curse

I've been getting kind of bored with my other characters recently, and decided to have a little fun by running a W/D build with scythe skills. One of the skills that quickly came to mind for me was the elite primal rage, which I figured would provide very nice damage with a scythes high damage range.

In practice however, I found that I'm consistently using primal rage and the kurzick skill aura of holy might and essentially nothing else. I've been trying to think of dervish and warrior buffs that would further increase dmg output, but I can think of precious few things that would work effectively.

I'd like to know how other people use primal rage, and asides from basic buffs, what other skills they put in with these builds.

Thanks

Primal Rage is really bad, you can't really spam it with other attack skills and compaired to other elites (that you can spam more w/ other skills) it's bad.

I was thinking about a scythe wielding warrior and I'd think that a SS build would be better (especially in PvE) because the scythe can spread the conditions on multiple foes.

The thing is... Primal Rage is a really, REALLY horrible skill.

Steady Stance scythe wielders DO work, however - indeed, they just got buffed with For Great Justice! and Rending Touch.
Though... I was kinda hoping they'd get tapped with the nerfbat. Fear Me! spam oughtta die.

Yeah I thought "Fear Me!" was going to get nerfed soon, guess not.

Ok, thanks.
I was hoping that maybe I was wrong about primal rage's worth,
but it seems it really is as bad as it initially seemed :/.
Is there any other way to increase critical hits as a warrior? Or is
it something I would have to use an assassin primary to accomplish?
I've been using a SS with wild blow and such to reasonable effect, although
the suggestions mentioned in this thread were very helpful
