The build is for General PvE usage. The build revolves around Battle Rage elite stance and adrenaline attacks of swordsman. Basically, using this build will remove the energy shortage problem of the warrior, and allow him to attack with adrenaline skills almost indefinitely. The build is designed for the skills found at the prophecies campaign.

[edit] Equipment

• Any good armor, sword and shield.

[edit] Usage

• When reaching the target, use "For Great Justice!" shout. After 3 hits you will be able to use the Battle Rage elite skill. Once it's on, use your adrenaline skills to beat up the enemy.
• Remember to use Sever Artery only once per enemy (assuming that it will probably die before the bleeding ends or it hasn't been removed it in some way).
• Apply Gash only on an bleeding enemy. Remember that you can use it repeatedly as it continues to make extra damage even if that enemy is already deep wounded.
• Use Power Attack between the adrenaline attacks, while they're charging.
• Keep an eye for Battle Rage and make sure you use the maximum adrenaline you have before recasting it.
• Don't heal yourself if it's not really necessary - it will terminate Battle Rage.

[edit] Counters

• Blinding hexes e.g. Blinding Flash, Ward Against Melee etc.
• Conditions removers e.g. Purge Conditions, Mend Ailment etc.

[edit] Variants

• Strength attributes points can be lowered in order to supply more points for Tactics. Be advised that this will lower the duration of the Battle Rage.
