Overview

A core warrior build for levelling or unlocking elite especializations. Featuring good power damage, some mobility, and the option to bring a lot of crowd control.

Skill Bar

Axe/Axe

Greatsword

Utility

Weapon Variants

Never replace axe+axe as they're your highest damage weapons.
This build weapon swaps a lot to do more damage. If you don't like constantly swapping between weapons you can use mace+mace or mace+shield instead of greatsword, and stay on axe+axe to do damage, and only weapon swap when you need crowd control or defense.

Mace + mace can replace greatsword to provide a lot of crowd control.
Shield - defense and crowd control.
Longbow or Rifle - if you need a ranged option, but their damage is low.

Skill Variants

Healing skill

Mending is great with its high healing, low cooldown, and condition removal.

Defiant Stance - aggressive option that lets you facetank for a few seconds.

Utility skills

"For Great Justice!" is great for providing boons.
"Shake It Off!" is a good stunbreak and condition removal skill.Can be replaced by any other stunbreak.
Signet of Fury improves our critical chance. Don't use the active skill except to end a fight.
Other alternatives can be considered:

Signet of Might - passive damage.
Signet of Stamina - more dodges.
Stomp - physical skill that grants CC and mobility
Endure Pain - panic button.
Bull's Charge - great engage skill and crowd control.

Elite skill

Signet of Rage is good for swiftness or to compliment the boons from For Great Justice.

Battle Standard - longer duration of boons than Signet of Rage but also a longer cooldown.

Variants

Peak Performance - extremely minor dps gain if you don't need stability. Note that Eviscerate does trigger Brave Stride.

Tactics Variant

Replace Arms with Tactics for a dramatic increase to sustain.

Phalanx Strength, Empower Allies - great if you have allies around. Phalanx will give you more healing from Mending Might.
