Hey everyone, My name is Nightmare and I am from Monsters Inc. I usually fill a dps role in parties and raids. The reason why I like warriors is because warriors have the potential to CC targets for long time and can hit incredibly high too. In this guide I will be focusing more on pvp.
Patch Changes:
The latest updates changed the way I built my warrior for pvp a little bit. The new stat system and the change in effects of some rubies like stat rubies and critical chance rubies made them somewhat nice to have in most type of builds. Before I wouldn't really bother taking the critical chance increase rubies for pvp since it was hard to crit people who had high endurance but as of the current patch and how luck works landing a crit strike can change the fight to your favour. Since there is no longer endurance having the crit rubies increases your chance to do the fight changing hits that can win you a duel or land an unexpected crit that would burst someone down.
The Builds:
combat advantage(CA) - You gain it by using certain skills while other skills consume it to be used. You need to understand how to use CA to maximize your dps and do well in both pvp and pve.

This is a pretty stand pve dps build. Please note I did not use all my talent points or rubies in this build but I only took the skills that will maximize your dps output. Any left over talent points can be used in what you see best and rubies can be used to make yourself more tanky or to what you see fit.
Devastating blow/Flawless strike - This is one of your 2 spam skills which you will use alot to generate combat advantage. You will want to get it r3 in most builds. (Generates 15 CA)
Charge - Gap closer which is not so useful in pve but generates some combat advantage. I took it r2 so I can get further in talent tree but if you can keep it at r1 and still go further than do it if you want so. (Generates 10 CA)
Lunge - This is your second skill which you will use alot to generate combat advantage along side Flawless strike. R3 is recommended for most builds. (Generates 10 CA)
Agonizing strike/Fatal Blow - One of the hard hitting skills for warrior. This will most likely be doing your most dmg or pretty close to Flawless strike. Consumes 50 combat advantage so you will need to use it after using Flawless strike and lunge couple of times. (Consumes 50 CA)
Die hard - You will need this as a melee dps you will most likely get hit by some aoe skills and also if you get aggro from mobs you won't die right away if your hp drops fast. I have it r3 for lower CD on the skill and needed it to go further in talent tree.
Intimidate - I have it r1 so if I need to take aggro of a certain mob away from a dps or healer or if tank needs a moment to heal up or battle ress. Pretty handy in some situations.
Adrenaline Buzz - Increases your energy regeneration by quite alot which always you to spam your skills more. R3 recommended for most builds.
Aura of Ferocity - Increases your dps and your party members dps. This Aura decreases your armor if you don't have the rubies for it but if you do get the rubies its nice to have this in almost every build unless you are tanking, R3 recommended.
Vicious spin/Whirlwind - Great skill for AoE pulls. Does alot of dmg on multiple targets and one of the few warriors aoe skills. R3 recommended for dps builds. (Consumes 65 CA)
Heroic Might - Gives you 3 stacks which will increase your dmg with flawless strike by a bit. Increases your dps by a small amount. Get it if you can.
Reasoned aggression - Generates combat advantage for as long as it is active but puts you in combat. Can be useful to use Whirlwind more often or use Fatal blow more. I recommend Heroic might over it but get it r1 if you can afford it.
Most of the rubies are self-explanatory so I will not go over all of them.
Controlled rage - You need those so you can run ferocity without reducing your armor and making yourself more vulnerable to physical damage.
Verdict - Increases dmg dealt to the mob you use it on by 50/100% depending on rank for 15 seconds or until the mob loses 10% of its hp. Useful if you need to pass a phase of a certain boss quickly or need to kill it fast or to lower the hp of a boss fast so brutality can have a bigger bonus in dps. R2 recommended
Bushido - More energy is always nice
Get it if you can.
Peddle wall - Increases the shield amount of stony resilience by 15% and increases healing received. Its nice to have as being melee you will most likely get hit by some aoe skills or if you get aggro from a mob or get damaged by a debuff on an allod.
Stat rubies - Always nice to have those. All of them are recommended for pve except for rage.
Critical chance increase rubies - All of them are recommended for pve. Crits are always nice for increasing your dmg.
Rotation: During a boss fight or a single target fight you will want to use lunge and flawless blow to build up CA to be able to use fatal blow. Your rotation should be something like this. Flawless blow > lunge > flawless blow > lungle > fatal blow and you pretty much repeart. As for aoe pulls you will use flawless blow and lunge to build up CA to use whirlwind between the mobs.
