WD/W Help me with TP

This is probably my first post ever in the forums, but I have actually played RoM for quite awhile (lost my first account due to forgetting what it was :eek:)

I have been reading up on WD/W and find that I really want to try this class out... Now I understand that items don't really come into play till around lvl 50, and finding out what items work best with this combo is fairly easy (starting off I plan on just wielding 2H Axe/Sword and getting all plate armor. (Leaning towards tanky)

But I have not a clue as to where I should put my Talent Points, I have never played Warden and I've most certainly never played Warrior, I'm more your P/s m/p type of person, but I've decided to alter my playing style...

So any suggestions on Talent Point allocation is much appreciated... preferably for both sides WD and Warrior (WD/W) (I did look at Xeph's guide to Warden/Warrior but from what I've heard its out of date due to recent patches)

Edit: Sort of surprised though that no experienced players have created a guide for wd/w
Edit 2: Err I'm guessing not that many people play wd/w, I just want to know what I should drain my tp into and what not to, from reading other posts I know theres quite a few 50+

I'm working on a guide for Wd/W and K/R. I can only do so much without help.
None of these skills are in any particular order.
The main skills you want to max out on Warden side are: Heart of the Oak, Frantic Briar, and Two-Handed Weapon Mastery.
Warden General skills you want to max out: Savage Power, Briar Shield, and Power of the Wood Spirit.
Elite skills need to ALL be maxed for optimal results but I would max out Double Chop first, then Beast Chop and Pulse Mastery, finally Will Attack.
Warrior General skills you want to keep levelled up: Slash, Brute Strength, and Whirlwind if you have left over TP.

If you're still in the levelling stage, I'd encourage you to use a 2h axe and Chain armor until you get to the point when you can tank.

lol I am most certainly still in the leveling stage, my warden is only lvl 10 and I haven't started my warrior yet... I was just looking for some pointers for a newb going into wd/w seeing how there seems to be no "current" guides out there

Also I guess when I'm a higher lvl Im going to need to look at rotations, and such...

Yeah, hopefully I will have that all ironed out by then, still working on rotations and statting for tanking. I can tell you that Double Chop does more damage than Charged Chop does.

My current rotation: Double Chop, Power of the Wood Spirit, Beast Chop, Pulse Mastery, Double Chop, Will Attack, repeat.
I never really run out of rage with this rotation and if I have more than enough rage, I can replace a Power of the Wood Spirit with a Slash for the extra damage and Bleed effect. But I'm not endgame yet.

Up until you can use 2h weapons, 1h axe/sword and talisman in offhand will get you wherever you need to get really.

If you're tanking, beast chop and pulse mastery must go before potws. I am also confident that even dps wise that's a better rotation ( provided you have the rage). Same for will attack, unless it's somewhere you shouldn't use aoe.
Potws and slash only when all aggro skills are on cd.

For statting, deuffbaum suggests:
Sta/pdef x 4
Sta/hp (super rare if hero, and obscenely pricey. So go hp/pdef hero, or sta/pdef castle)
sta/patt

I usually open up double chop, will attack, beast pulse, pulse mastery, potws. Rinse and repeat.

Truthfully, you shouldn't even have to use PotWS because Double Chop will be back up before you reach it. Only reason it will have to be used is if you run out of rage for some reason or Beast Chop is on cooldown.

Reason for will attack at the beginning is the 10% damage reduction it provides also. By the time it wears off the mob, will attack will be up again also.

Unfortunately half of the stuff you guys are putting here I don't understand yet, due to me still lvling up, still trying to understand the use of all the skills warden has
