Quite the read, I know!

Pipe dream? Obviously! But it was fun to write, so if you enjoyed the read, please comment! Thanks for coming this far!

Still reading but wanted to point out something I noticed, you have Opportunist in there twice under Arms as 1 and 10.

While I think changing all the traits to what you have listed would make the class weaker over all; there are some serious gems in here. Also the F2 skills are genius especially since they makes your choice off hand(s) count a lot more.

9. Signet Mastery – Armored Adornments: +50% cooldown, but signets continue to provide their passive bonus while on cooldown.
5. Sonic Disruption – Warhorn skills will dispel a single boon from nearby enemies
7. Physical Mastery – Combat Training: -33% cooldown on physical abilities, and stances.

And the absolute best:

Warriors Sprint – Run 11/22/33% faster, based on adrenal level. Does not stack speed with swiftness.

I’d love offhand burst skills. The idea of that alone is great.

loving the burst skill suggestions. This game needs more amazing looking skills and how good the graphics are i bet the skill could look sick.

The GS f1 could be a leap and before the character lands does a downward arc like a slash thru the target. Could be a 400 range leap. That causes slow to the target on hit.
for f2 i gotta disagree. We already got enough spinning around going n the game :P how bout a ranged attack that pierces. Call it cyclone slash and you stand at range and shoot out 3 normal ranged slashes at max adrenaline from 600-700 range that do more slashes per adrenaline bar.

axe: Dismember could apply weakness aswell.

mace one is good.

I like the sword one. Could be like you run thru with your sword in front and just run through people causing the debuffs. I think the debuffs should scale per adren bar. like first bar does bleed, 2nd bleed/burn, 3rd bleed/burn/blind.

bow one seems like a mage attack :P (bow mage anet plox)

rifle ones cool.

hammer: how bout Tectonic Pulse. Does a straight line aoe that crumbles the cround makin it impassible for few seconds(depending on adren lvl) that knocks foes back.

Shield: Shield throw: throw your shield getting 5 stacks of vuln inflicted to you to inflict, stun/vuln 2/5/8(adrenl level) and giving weakness while dealing dmg based on adrenline lvl.

Horn ones good

rest 2 are nice.

they also need to add crossbows/2handed axe/land spear/lance to game already >.>
