-->results in 485 health and 27 energy
Skill set:
[1] Disrupting chop | 6 adn
[2] {elite}Eviscerate | 7 adn
[3] Axe rake | 7 adn
[4] Executioner's Strike | 8 adn
[5] Tiger's Fury | 10 energy
[6] "For Great Justice!" | 10 energy
[7] Sprint | 5 energy
[8] Resurrection Signet
This type warrior is build with only offense in mind. The objective is to dish out as much damage as possibile in the shortest amount of time. With Tiger's Fury marked at rank 9, it is possibile to have an almost continous activation of the skill, so attack speed is always increased. "For great justice!" cuts down on the time needed before the attack skills can be used. Sprint will catch any fleeing monks and mesmers.
In order to be most effective in the arena, the target should be selected with care to defensive capabilities and necessity to the opposing team. Generally, a Tiger Warrior should attack first healing monks, then boon-prot monks, then interrupting mesmers, then degen mesmers, then trappers. Necromancers and smiters should be avoided all together.
To make the skills most effective,the target should first be marked. When the time is right for the team to attack, begin pursuing the target. While approaching the target, activate the skills in this way:
"For Great Justice!"= as soon as you enter the enemy's area
Tiger's Fury= the instant you close to melee range of your target
If your enemy is standing still, then hit attack skills as quickly as possibile in this way:
1: Eviscerate. With for great justice, it will only take 4 hits for this skill to charge
2: Axe rake. This will cripple the enemy, making it hard to run away
3: Disrupting chop. This will interrupt the taret's action
4: Executioner's Strike. This deals damage in good amounts.
If your enemy is running then hit attack skills as quickly as possibile in this way:
1: Eviscerate
2: Axe rake
3: Sprint
4: Executioner's Strike
5: Disrupting chop
Repeat this until your target stops or you kill them, using sprint as soon as its ready. Try to use disrupting chop as often as possibile to prevent self-healing.
The limits are obvious: Blind makes you useless, Crippled makes you ineffective, and spiteful spirit hex will take your health down in a hurry. There are, by design, no healing powers in the build. Only experience with this type build will help you get around the downsides.
This is my favorite type of warrior, and probably my favorite type of character class in the game. With Eviscerate and Executioner's Strike, it is possibile to deal 2 consecutive 100+ damage attacks within a second to a monk, mesmer, ranger, and some elementalists. No other class has that type of power: I once dealt 232 damage to a ranger using healing signet with an eviscerate attack. I say, 'nuff said.
