- Remove Tactics from the build altogether and bring Parasitic Bond if you want a cover hex.
- Bring Hamstring to slow your target down.
[edit] Equipment
- Gladiator's Armor, not 100% required but it helps with the initial usage of Spinal Shivers and Warrior's Endurance.
- An Icy Sword of Fortitude. Don't worry about +5 energy. Remember you're a Warrior so stick with 15^50. The Quivering Blade is an ideal choice because it adds 15% damage to a hexed foe. An Icy Dragon Sword also works very well for the intended purpose.
- A Stance Shield is suggested but you can bring any kind of shield you're comfortable with. As long as you're getting the armor from it and some additional health it adds a lot to keeping you alive. Strongroot's Shelter is a great option here.
[edit] Usage
Start off by choosing a good target. Since Mesmers have Fast Casting you may want to avoid them. This build works best with classes that tend to use skills that take one second or longer to use. So Monks, Necromancers, and especially Elementalists are your primary targets. Ritualists too if you see them using spells instead of spirit spamming.
Once you have your target approach them and use Spinal Shivers on them. Start attacking and using your attack skills, saving Final Thrust for when their health drops below 50%. Use Warrior's Endurance when your energy is around 10 so you can maintain it as long as possible.
Plague Touch conditions away. Kite and use Healing Signet whenever you're taking heavy damage.
