Warrior sPvP | Tournament Hammer, Axe/Shield | Team fighter Shouting Signets
Table of Contents
Summary
This warrior build has a lot of burst heal to get back into fights, as opposed to being slowly whittled down with no hope of recovery.
It also takes advantage of guaranteed crits, to make up for its lack of precision, which can still be built up over time via signet use.

Trait Details
Discipline:
II: Melee Weapons 25% mobility helps a good amount. 3 mobility skills to break immobilizes.
VI: Condi Cleanse every 5 seconds.
IX: More burst skill usage opportunities.
Arms:
II: Signets on a lower cd. Some precision gain overtime.
IV: No other option is better... maybe condi with fury.
VII: Eviscerate!
Tactics:
In a previous iteration this line was actually the defense specialization. However I found warrior to generally be too tied to its passive defenses on long cds, and once those have been expended that warrior is a dead warrior. With Shout heals, the warrior can comeback into the fight fresh and ready to smash some heads. Losing Cleansing Ire is also not as big of a loss with soldier runes.
I: Immobilize gets added to your weapon 3 skills.
IV: Condi Cleanses and Heals.
VIII: HEALS.
