This build is primarily intended for GvG. It takes into account the fact that Sword Warriors can operate quite well without their elite and thus brings "Charge!" because of its great use in GvG.

[edit] Attributes and Skills

Warrior / Elementalist	Attribute Rank
Swordsmanship	12 + 1 + 3
Tactics	11 + 1
Strength	6 + 1
Air Magic	2

[edit] Equipment

A Zealous PvP Sword of Fortitude and a Vampiric PvP Sword of Fortitude.
Two PvP shields of your choice.

[edit] Usage

Use Sever Artery, Gash, and Final Thrust on targets hovering around 65% of their health to quickly deal spike damage.
In a team degeneration build try to spread bleeding with Sever Artery.
Use "Charge!" to allow your team to move about the map quickly together. Also use it to give other Warriors a speed buff.

[edit] Counters

All of your normal Warrior counters apply (Blind, Ward Against Melee, Shadow of Fear, etc.)

[edit] Variants

Bull's Strike, usually replacing Healing Signet.
Barbarous Slice can replace Sever Artery for additional damage.
Distracting Blow can be incorporated into this build as well.
Sprint, instead of Shock, if you think you will be in need of a cancel stance.
Hex Breaker can replace Sprint as an alternate stance cancel. It costs you a degree of mobility in exchange for greater hex resistance. It also requires minimal point investment and change in secondary class.
