The signet build you’ve likely heard about is the one that revolves around using the Deep Strike trait: http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-s;4NK-C-a4RL-60;9;59;40;9;9;5FW0A (link is not a real build; just a skill/trait example).

The build pretty much revolves around sitting on your signets and letting the passive precision do the work for your greatsword attacks.

As far as the “best” way to level a warrior, I’d say just mess around with some of the bladed or ranged weapons and see which ones suit your fancy; all of them will hit pretty hard while leveling. The only weapons I’d recommend staying away from if you want damage are the mace, warhorn, shield, and hammer.

As for traits, you can sink them into the Strength line for burst damage, the Arms line for crit chance and conditions, or the Discipline line for crit damage and focus on your Burst (F1) skills.

Yeah, what I want in a leveling build is high damage and high speed. I’d highly recommend greatsword or sword (or both) for those reasons. Axe is also very high damage, and longbow has great aoe damage and the inherit advantages of being ranged. Here’s a couple ideas to try and see what you like:

GS/Sw+X
GS/LB
GS/Axe+X

Sw+X/LB
Sw+X/Axe+X

Good choices for X in pve would be warhorn or mace.

Also, the signet build trait has been nerfed for low levels, I can’t vouch for how good it is now.

Strength, Arms, and Discipline all have good trait options for damage for leveling.
