Hundred Blades Conjure Lightning Spiker
[build prof=Warrior/Elementalist Swordsmanship=12+1+1 Tactics=8+1 AirMagic=10][Barbarous Slice][Gash][Sun and Moon Slash] [Hundred Blades][Savage Slash][Conjure Lightning][Healing Signet][Resurrection Signet][/build]

Build Overview
This build is meant for doing damage quickly, while not having to attack for a while and build up adrenaline in order to spike/pressure and still having survivability. Rather than the traditional Warrior builds which use Stances and require attacking for a while, with this build you can open with fast damage. Quick damage comes from Hundred Blades, which works very well with Conjure (element) spells and Sun and Moon Slash which is similar. Also, once you get the BS-->Gash-->SMS combo going, you have constant damage. This is because they both cause you to attack twice.

Equipment
Use a Rune of Minor Swordsmanship and a Rune of Minor Tactics. Other than that, you'll need a Lightning weapon, preferrably with a grip of Fortitude. Use a combination of Radiant/Survival Insignias and Runes of Attunement/Vitae to get your HP to about 600 and your Energy to 25/30 depending on if you're using the variant.

Usage
After casting Conjure Lightning,(Or whichever Conjure elemental spell you choose)choose a target and use Hundred Blades. Because Savage Slash has an activation time rather than being the next attack you use, it can be used as soon as Hundred Blades hits for quick damage and an interrupt. Please see the Variants section below for a more energy efficient and in some cases more damaging version of this combo. After using those two skills (or even just HB), attack the enemy until you have enough Adrenaline to use Barbarous Slice, at which point you should use it. Follow it up with Gash and then Sun and Moon Slash for a Deep Wound and excellent damage. By this time HB should be ready for use again. Rinse and repeat until your enemy is dead. Obviously, use Healing Signet for healing. You may want to use Savage Slash only when you need that quick damage, as it takes 10 energy.

Counters
Heavy health Degeneration (you should try to heal through this with Healing Signet.)

Heavy Hexing and Anti-Melee skills as with most Warrior builds.

Blind

Variants
If you want a longer opening spike and are using the build for AB, add in [Protector's Strike]for a quick attack following Savage Slash. This will make your opening combo Hundred Blades-->Savage Slash-->Protector's Strike. Also, if you want to use runes to improve Swordsmanship/Tactics or want more HP and you're ready to give up some energy, adjust your equipment accordingly and use Protector's Strike rather than Savage Slash as it takes less energy. Note that this will leave you without an interrupt. Also, because of this skill's 3 second recharge, one can use Hundred Blades --> Protector's Strike --> Barbarous Slice --> Gash---> Sun and Moon Slash and as soon as you hit with that skill, use Protector's Strike again. Alternatively, you could use Final Thrust instead of Savage Slash.
