This build is for General PvE, Sorrow's Furnace farming and other things. It is mainly for warriors who wish to tank but have only the Prophecies campaign. This build uses a sword with Zealous prefix and Hundred Blades, to hold aggro and quickly gain Energy and Adrenaline to maintain defensive skills and party buffs.

[edit] Attributes and Skills

Warrior / Any	Attribute Rank
Strength	8 + 1
Tactics	12 + 1 +1
Swordsmanship	10 + 1

[edit] Equipment

Any armor will do fine.
Any good shield.
Any good sword with Zealous prefix on it, like Shak-Jarin's Sword
Any headgear that boosts one of the three attributes. If you don't use Tactics headgear then you can change Minor Tactics rune to Major.

[edit] Usage

With 14 to Tactics, Defensive Stance and Disciplined Stance can be use continually with 1 second gap between them. "Watch Yourself!" between the stances.
Defensive Stance ends if you use a skill, so you can only use Healing Signet while its off. Use Hundred Blades, Deadly Riposte and "Shields Up!" only while Disciplined Stance is on.

[edit] Counters

Blindness
Ward against melee

[edit] Variants

Healing Signet can be replaced with riposte for some more attacking power. NOTE - you can only use riposte between the stances with Watch Yourself!.'
For Monk Secondaries Balthazar's Spirit is a nice addition.
