This build is designed to shut down and spike single enemies in a group, removing the threat of annoying monks or dangerous elementalists in PvE. It also does well at shutting down many otherwise nasty bosses and boss-like foes.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=w/p axe=12+3 stre=12+1+1][enduring harmony][for great justice!][i am unstoppable!][flail][keen chop][eviscerate][executioner's strike][brawling headbutt][/build]

Equipment

 * Sentinel's Insignia (utilising 13 Strength)
 * Stonefist Insignia for improved knockdowns with Brawling Headbutt
 * Sundering Axe of Fortitude (Victo's Battleaxe or any custom axe will do nicely) with "Dance with Death" inscription
 * Strength Shield of Fortitude with "Run For Your Life!" inscription

Usage

 * Use Enduring Harmony followed by "For Great Justice!" and "I Am Unstoppable!" for maximum benefit from these two skills
 * Activate Flail for increased attack speed
 * Throw out Keen Chop, Eviscerate and Executioner's Strike as often as possible
 * Use Brawling Headbutt for tactical knockdowns/interrupts, or to pin a target down while spiking with axe attacks
 * Works best on low-armour enemies; especially good for disabling and eliminating casters

Counters

 * Adrenaline denial
 * Blindness, blocking, other typical anti-melee
 * Anti-knockdown (innate or skill-based) slightly hampers the effectiveness of the build

Variants

 * [[Whirling Axe@15] in place of Eviscerate; useful in areas where blocking stances are heavily used
 * [[Dismember@15] in place of another axe attack if Whirling Axe is being used as the elite skill
 * [[Tiger Stance@14] in place of Flail if movement speed reduction is a concern
 * [[Enraging Charge@14] in place of "I Am Unstoppable!" if immediate adrenaline readiness is required instead of extra defence
 * [[Lion's Comfort@14] in place of an attack skill if healing and/or more adrenaline is required
 * [[Asuran Scan@10] in place of "I Am Unstoppable!" if more offensive power is needed rather than defence
 * [[Agonizing Chop@15] in place of Keen Chop for greater spike damage at the cost of overall DPS
