Weapon and Skill Details

Since this is a bleeding build, Sword is a obvious choice for main weapon.

 

The reason why I am using Axe in off-hand instead of Sword is because Whirling Axe is awesome for gaining adrenaline very fast since it hits 15 times in 3 seconds all nearby foes.

 

Healing Signet has very good passive regeneration and you should never use it because you will lose big passive regeneration for 20 seconds.

 

"Shake It Off!" and "For Great Justice!" will be your new healing skills when you think you are getting low on health.

 

I use Banner of Strenght because it give me and nearby allies 170 power and 170 Condition damage that is good boost.
Alternative is "On My Mark" if you think you need more Healing from Shouts.

 

In my opinion, Signet of Rage is one of the best elite skills in game because it gives you 5 Stacks of Might, Fury and Swiftness for 30 seaconds (39 seconds, because of +30% boon duration from Tactics traits) every 60 seconds.


II. Traits

Trait Details

I think this traits are the most obvious choice with this style of play.

 

Arms gives you precision, more bleeding stacks with Precise Strikes, bigger bleeding duration, more critical chance with our main weapon-sword and 10% more damage with Attack of Opportunity trait since our mobs will always have bleeding on them.

 

Defense traits, or more precisely Adrenal Health, is one of the reasons why this build has very good passive regeneration and great survivability.

 

The main focus in Tactics traits are Shouts and with Lung Capacity you are reducing their recharge for 5 seconds and they will also heal you and nearby allies which for more then 2k per Shout every 20 seconds.

Stat and Effect Details

Now, lets do some Math.

 

Damage:
Formula for bleeding is:
(0.05 * Condition Damage) 42.5 per stack per second at level 80
After activating Signet of Rage, For Great Justice and Banner of Strenght that adds you 280 Condition Damage from 8 Stacks of Might (35 per stack)and 170 Condition Damage from Banner, you will end up with 1474 Condition Damage. So back to Math...
(0.05 * 1481) 42.5 is 116 Damage per stack per second!!
And with Sword you can easy stack up to 10 stacks of Bleeding in few seconds!

 

Healing
With this build we have 1131 Healing Power and these are formulas.
Formula for Healing Signet is 392 + 0.05 * Healing Power (1131) per second which gives us 449 HP per second!

 

Formula for Adrenal Health is 125/240/360 + 0.15 * Healing Power (1131) every 3 seconds which gives us 295/310/530 HP every three seconds.

 

Formula for Vigorous Shouts is 1192 + 0.8 * Healing Power (1131) per Shout which gives us 2097 HP per Shout!

Upgrade Item Details

Healing Power, Toughtness and Condition Damage is everything you need to become tanky-healing-bleeding dealer Warrior.
I decided to use 5/6 Runes of Thiefs for a bit more Precision, so I can have 60% crit-chance with Fury.
Its your choice what you want to put for 6th rune but I went with Coral Orb for a bit more Condition Damage, Precision and Power plus it cost only around 3 silvers.

 

Sigil of Earth is used for faster Bleeding stacking and Sigil of Accuracy for getting 60% crit chance.
Alternative for Sigil of Accuracy is Sigil of Agony for longer Bleeding Duration.
