This build will be unusable until Nightfall comes out on the 27th, but I put it together during that preview weekend, and am terribly excited about posting it here, mainly due to the fact that chances are no one has ever posted any builds that even involve these skills. I used this build in place of the wildly popular “shock war.” Which apparently is the only build warriors are allowed to play (yes, I know there are others but this is definitely the most popular) I found this variation of the build to work much, MUCH better then the stock pre-made you can pick. So, I will make the bold statement that this build, will be the new standard for the “shock axe warrior.”
SKILLS:
 Rage of the Ntouka{E}
Gain 1...6 strike of adrenaline. For 10 seconds, whenever you use an adrenaline Skill, that Skill recharges for 5 seconds.
 Shock
Target touched foe is knocked down and struck for 10...50 lightning damage. This skill has 25% armor penetration and causes exhaustion.
 Penetrating Blow
If this attack hits, you strike for +5...17 damage. This axe attack has 20% armor penetration.
 Executioner's Strike
If this attack hits, you strike for +10...34 damage.
 Counter Attack
If this attack hits, you strike for +5...25 damage. If you hit an attacking foe, you gain 2...5 Energy.
 Disrupting Chop
If it hits, this attack interrupts the target's current action. If that action was a skill, that skill is disabled for an additional 20 seconds.
 Lion's Might
You are healed for 30...70 Health, and you gain 5 Health for each rank in Tactics.
 Resurrection Signet
Resurrect target party member. That party member is returned to life with 100% Health and 25% Energy. This signet only recharges when you gain a Morale Boost.
HOW TO USE:
I’m sure most people already know how to play a shock axe, but for those who don’t here is how. Call a target, or select the called target. Fill up your adrenaline. Use shock, hence its namesake, as soon as they hit the ground, unload all your attacks on them. You used to have to use frenzy to fill up, but basically as soon as Rage of the Ntouka charge, use it and you will have full adren. If you have enough energy and your target is attacking, continue to spam Counterattack until Rage is recharged, if they aren’t attacking then use it under your own discretion, due to the fact it uses energy. Rez fallen allies. Simple!
NOTES:
While explaining this build to a team mate I took flack for replacing Eviscerate (the former elite of the build) and that I basically had no spike. I understand that this build does not offer a deep wound, feel free to replace Disrupting Chop with Dismember . I however, found that Disrupting chop is more effective because they ALWAYS try and use a skill as soon as they stand up.
This build is more effective because instead of waiting for your adren to fill up, you are guaranteed a spike every 15 seconds, and don’t expose yourself by using Frenzy. The addition of Counterattack lets you actually GAIN energy if you hit an attacking foe, so it helps a great deal with energy management. You can also dump as many points as you want to into axe and strength with out having to worry about healing, because now Strength, has an adren based healing spell (throw any extra points into Tactics however to help its effectiveness.)
Weapons, I would suggest Furious Axe of Fortitude, and PVP Strength Shield (+30hps 5dam 20%) unless you have a better one.
I am fully aware that these skills can change at any given moment, with out notice, but if they don’t here is a head start for you. Let me know any criticism or suggestions.
Who else would give you the future, before it arrives?
