This build works nicely in most PvE situations, that includes HM. As long as you have a competant team, you shouldn't face any major problems. It also combines with the Discord Spikes build which can be found under the PvE Team builds section (Great)

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=W/P name="W/P Soldiers Scan" str=12+1 swo=12+1+2][Sever Artery][Gash][Enraging Charge][Soldier's Fury]["I Am The Strongest!"]["Watch Yourself!"][Asuran Scan][Pain Inverter][/build]

Equipment
Highest armor possible with the above runes, rune of superior absorbsion, radiant insignias and two runes of vitae. In terms of weapons; Zealous sword with 15^50 and +30 health and a decent strength shield (As good as you can afford)

Usage
Usage of this build is fairly simple, all you have to remember is to keep up soldiers fury and the shout of your choice, it is possible while in combat to keep up a shout all the time with "Watch Yourself!" and "I Am The Strongest". To kickstart your adrenal attacks, run into combat with Enraging Charge up, if desired have [Soldiers Fury] and a shout up aswel, so you gain double the adrenaline from your first hit. When your target foe is bleeding and has a deep wound applied you can Cast Asuran Scan and "I Am The Strongest" which will provide 40+ damage upon each hit. With the rest of your team, foes can be easily defeated. Use Pain Inverter to defeat harder foes such as bosses and to provide a helping hand while defeating monks.

Counters
General anti mellee such as SS and empathy, however with a monk in your party who should be carrying hex removal, this shouldnt be a problem. The spirit "Soothing" can pose a small problem as it's effect means you build adrenaline twice as slowly as you would normally; kill this first and the build should run as normal again.

Variants
Pain inverter can be removed for a shout if you have trouble maintaining shouts while in combat.

This build can also be adapted for axe usage. Simply switch out Sever Artery and Gash for some Axe Mastery skills such as Deep Wound and switch the Swordsmanship attribute to axe mastery and change runes as required
