A Warrior that takes advantage of the newly buffed Battle Rage to maintain a constant +25% IaS, +33% Movement Speed, and double adrenaline gain. This enables him to spam attack skills fast for high damage, and keeps him difficult to kite.

 * Max AL Warrior Armour of your preference, with a +1 Swordsmanship headpiece.

 *  Your standard set of PvP Swords; Including the following.
 * Ebon/Fiery/Icy/Shocking Sword of Fortitude, +15%^50 or +15% while in a stance

Usage

 * Begin the battle by activating weapon of aggression and engaging the opponent with your wand;
 * You can also use the wand to try and dispatch of any stationary opposing spirits if present.
 * It won't be long before somebody tries to run into either team's lines, which is when you switch over to the sword best suited for the situation (the elemental for Warriors, or opponents using Physical Resistance, the Vampiric/Sundering for general use).

- It's important to use these in that order, as otherwise the casting of Weapon of Aggression will cancel Battle Rage.
 * The combat cycle is simple.
 * Cast Weapon of Aggression, for 25% Increased Attack Speed.
 * Activate Battle Rage, for +33% Movement Speed and double Adrenaline Gain.
 * Run up to a target, use Sever Artery -> Gash, and then spam attack skills.
 * Repeat every 12 seconds.


 * Use Lion's Comfort as a self-heal, and to charge Battle Rage again if you are short of adrenaline due to Blind/Miss-rate hexes/Defensive stances/skills, etc.


 * Resurrect fallen comrades with the Rez Signet. Beware that Lion's Comfort will disables signets, including Rez Signet, for 12 seconds after use, so pay attention to the state of your team when you use it.

Counters

 * Blind spam
 * Standard anti-physical hexes like Spiteful Spirit or Empathy
 * Be especially aware of adrenaline draining skills like Soothing Images, Ancestor's Visage and Blackout, because the build depends almost entirely upon adrenaline.

Variants

 * Rez Signet can be replaced with Death Pact Signet.
 * Alternatively it could be replaced with Flesh Of My Flesh if you want to avoid the signet disabling of Lion's Comfort preventing an urgently needed rez, just beware it's drawbacks.
 * Standing Slash could be replaced with an alternate adrenaline attack skill; Like Galrath Slash or Silverwing Slash. Though as you'll always be in Battle Rage anyway, Standing Slash is probably the best choice.
 * The adrenaline Swords skills could also be replaced with Axe or Hammer skills if desired (for example Axe carries the advantage of an adrenaline powered interrupt, and Hammers can KD). Alter your equipment appropriately if doing this.
