back when I played W/R, I always used 2 1-h axes. You build up rage really fast that way.

You should use 2 1-hd axes, cause it looks really cool.

You never know...

Well, if you can one hit mobs with the 2-hndr but not with your 1-hndr, use the 2-hndr for those mobs. But I think you will be using 2 1-hndrs for boss fights, so....unless you want to tier more than one weapon, the DPS difference is not that great between the two. Personally, I have my 2 main 1-hndrs that I use for most everything, then I have a cheap 2-hndr with a loot rune in it for farming.

Once you decide whether you want 2 1-handers or 1 2-hander, you can really save your TP by not putting any into 1-h mastery or 2-h mastery and the 1-h only / 2-h only skills. :)

It's going to be the standard Warrior rotation except starting out with shadowstab ad infinitum. Actually, I almost always start out with charge(err, I mean Surprise Attack), then go into the rotation. If you are a pot addict or have the Aoth cape you can prep with those to get into your rage based attacks early, but to tell the truth, shadowstab works really well as filler until you build the rage so i don't bother even though I have my aoth cape on macro.

Sk8rdan posted this in an earlier thread:
For bosses, would recommend the following rotation.

Blood Dance..........if you don't have rage yet. could use blind stab instead
Probing Attack......to make the boss vunerable
Keen Attack.........for the crit damage bonus
Filler...................usually Shadow Stab
Filler...................Slash can also be used for the extra bleed, if you have TP in it
Probing Attack......to make the boss vunerable
Open Flank...........to make the boss weakened
Splitting Chop.......to lower the boss's Defense, and deal big damage
Blood Dance.........high damage filler that should be off cooldown by now
Probing Attack......to make the boss vunerable
Keen Attack.........crit damage bonus again
Blasting Cyclone...if you have the rage, this does high damage, even to a single target
Filler...................you can also use whirlwind if there are adds
Probing Attack......to make the boss vunerable
Open Flank...........to make the boss weakened
Thunder...............Purely for the high damage. Stun won't work on most bosses
Repeat

I don't recall seeing a "rotation" for a using a 2-hnder for a W/R, I would probably find one for one of the other warrior combos and adjusting...or don't bother.

back when I played w/r, I tried not to use slash much... it's almost a waste of rage

pop aoth valiance cape or rage pots, if rage wasn't 100, I'd pop enraged

probe->open flank->splitting chop->SS until probe opened up again->probe->Keen attack->SS until probe opened up again

basically, checking to see if splitting chop cd ends and use Keen attack until then

I made a guide on W/R. Nearly every W/R will use 1h swords/axes/hammers because one that's one of the main perks to the W/R combo. Higher rage generation, and an extra stat stick. I'm not going to act like the 2h build isn't viable, because at certain lvls it can do more dps due to itemization, but the 2h W/R build is few and far between. If you really want to try the 2h route, be prepared to have everyone tell you you're doing it wrong, and figure out the best rotations on your own.

Here's the 1h W/R guide.
Warrior/Rogue Skills & Equip?

Megadrach ~ Priest/Warrior/Knight ~ 45/45/45 ~ Can solo PS in FA gear/stats
Drachen ~ Warrior/Rogue/Mage ~ 62/60/55 ~ Geared for lvl 60 endgame

Seeing as im one of the last W/R's in this game ill tell you 2 x 1-Hand axes is the best faster rage and the dps is a lot more than with a 2hand i tried a 2hand and dps dropped a lot. my rotation is long but useful standard CD"s the since i have 10 rage with a pot and the rage cape i go right into my rotation charge in after tank has aggro Probing attack - Open Flank - Splitting Chop - Blood Dance - Slash ( JUST FOR THE BLEED ) then Probing Attack - Keen Attack then start all over if u have no rage its simple Shadowstab spam to regen rage with the Tosh set skill its a 740% main hand dps skill which would replace blood dance or i would just add it in while splitting chop is on CD

Lvl 82w/69r

I would use 2 1 handed axes. It is so hard to get rage with this class and the rotations are huge. And with axes you get bleed effect from slash
Aggressivness(gotta get rage)
enraged(need more rage)
Supprise Attack(knock em down)
slash( for bleed effect)
Probing Attack( yay in 6 skills i can do dmg)
Frenzied attack (getting serious)
Keen Attack(whap whap)
blood Dance( why i gotta loose hp)
probing attack(again)
Berserk(Brawwwrrr)
Splitting chop( Or you can just go for Probing to the iss out of WA i forget its name but it lowers its attack speed by 50% for 30 sec i think and that is boss for a party)
