You’ll want to have the Berserker grandmaster trait Bloody Roar selected (applies a Taunt on opponents within range).
Have full adren, pop Beserker whilst within Taunt distance (it’s 300 range the wiki is wrong) from your opponent as they are in stealth ( i.e. thief shadow refuge ).
If said opponent does not have a stability boon currently up, that opponent will attack you and self-reveal providing they hit you.
“When a character breaks stealth, they gain the Revealed effect which prevents the user from re-entering stealth for several seconds, regardless of the skill used”
I’ve been a thief’s nightmare this whole week Yes, they freak out.
You can’t hide from a Berserker !
Have fun with new-found knowledge and wreak havoc !
I wouldn’t really call it a counter, more a happy coincidence if the stars align. You need too much setup time to even get to 30 Adrenaline and by that time any decent thief will have either already used their Backstab and got their 200 Power buff from Revealed, or gained the distance to make the 300 range meaningless. If you’re running Headbutt, you can’t even use it on the stealthed thief to generate the Adrenaline. The alternative is Signet of Fury, which has a cast time on it which makes it, in line with all decent Warrior skills, enough of a telegraph for your opponent to dodge.
All in all, I find the taunt to be fairly useless since half the problem with Warrior is getting into melee range in the first place. Good thing there’s a sweet 10% damage buff on it though!
This confirms that even warriors now hard counter thieves.

I used to think (build op, pls nerf) like you, but then I took a nerf to the knee.
Yes, they freak out.
