I had thought about going for a Phalanx Strength Team play zerker but I felt like being odd and trying to break the warrior from the “I can build might for the team… I’m relevant” xD I mean, I use the phalanx strength build a little too much so I wanted to try some variation. I also felt that if you use the Berserker Specialization, you lose too much team support and might building. Then I also realized, I can make a Valkyrie theme on my character like I wanted (>,.,> lol yes, I genuinely customized my Norn like that… I’m sorry for being generic T.T) But I felt that being expected to play as a might builder every second was a little lame and there really isn’t any other “Supporty” ways of building a warrior but being a tank allows you to use the excuse of helping while in reality you get to turn your brain off and hit things xD I thought of a possible way to give warriors more survivability while fighting in the HoT areas as I had been struggling with my normal build as I pretty much only solo unless I’m doing dungeons or FotM. this is pretty much just a load of junk in a paragraph sooooo…
Replace the banner during soloing with either the Signet or the Self stun and make sure you don’t use the weakness dmg buff unless you use a Hammer which I assume you’d be carrying around a Zerker Hammer around anyway. A Horn will also be an option if you keep the weakness on in which case, you suddenly have a little support capability as a de-buff tank.
Also consider replacing the Defence Spec with Tactics if you want to support a team better as well as switching Great Fortitude with Forceful Great sword if you do so. Your HP will drop considerably though and your bonus Toughness to Power will disappear. It would be advisable to just switch your gear to Berserker stats and going generic Phalanx Warrior over simply replacing parts though. You drop from a mediocre 2720 Power to a weak 2530.

In hind sight, quick notice, Ignore the current heal skill. just remembered why I used the signet in the first place >,.,> Signet of healing is the preferred heal skill here…
-Edit-
Also Great Fortitude can be replaced with Forceful Greatsword at any time if you’re soloing, want more dps from your GS skills or need more might (or any really).
-Edit2-
Cull the Weak can be replaced with Dogged March if you’re soloing for the nice survivability and the fact the build has literally no way of applying Weakness by itself relying on your team to apply it for you. It’s recommended you use this build only in a group but feel free to play around with it. Also, you will be using the shield a lot to mitigate more damage and to generally be a Pain in the A**. Shield Master Is a viable choice but only if you know you’re up against ranged units.
-Edit3-
Replace Smash Brawler with Savage Instinct as a large part of this build is actually about breaking out of stuns to gain bonuses rather than being immune to them. Also, The Shield can be replaced with a Sword or even a Mace in most cases. The Shield is just something I like Thematically, it’s actually pretty bad otherwise. I’ll still use it personally xD

I got bored and decided, “What if I could make a Warrior deal lots of damage while being tanky and not team friendly at all”. This is the result of my effort and I’d like some assistance on theorycrafting this before I actually decide to bunker down and actually make it.
[Disclaimer, I had this account since launch but I never got into the game nor really played it until this year so be kind T.T]
