DPS/Solo build

So I'm new to the warrior class (My main being a lvl 190 druid) and I was wanting to go for a hardcore DPS build in warrior
I have regens and gold to buy rings but I'm not sure of the best build for maximum damage
(Also, not interested in trying Rogue again XD)
Any tips?

What I have found to be a good solo build is going full str and then using gear that adds both hp and dmg with at least one or two items that boost a skill (preferably pummel).
I use a solo dps build that serves me very well. At lvl 200 I have all my points put into str and all my hp boosting gear and armor brings me up to 6k hp and at the same time I'm dealing a solid 1k+ dmg per hit on most mobs and bosses. Use an axe and use the skills shatter, rupture, double attack, pummel and frenzy in that order. Use the axe all the way to the point where you can get yourself a halberd.
In the lower levels it won't hurt to throw a few points into vit as lower levels don't have a large selection of hp boosting gear outside of lux. Get yourself a royal rupture ring and a royal shatter ring as the two skills are a deadly combo. Items that boost your pummel are also very helpful. I use a royal pummel mordy brace and my pummel is easily my best skill. Almost All my pummel hits do more than my autos without shatter and with shatter my pummel is insanely op (my highest crit came from pummel).
Energy regens will become your best friend and I highly suggest you invest in some as they come in handy when going up against tougher 3 or 4* mobs.

If u can get askold or ymir hammer or axe those are a bit op at low lvls.
what did u not like about rogue? That might help with build tips. Stance tends to be better at lower lvl then frenzy cause stance adds a bigger boost.
ALWAYS use rupture in dps build. if u r using a spear then youll want to hotswap

Never use those weps, they are terrible lol. If you want slow attack speed but high hits go for the obsidian hammer/cleaver. They are one handed and have high dmg and are lvl 60 req, also opens up the offhand slot. I disagree with hot swapping an axe and spear (assuming you meant a halberd as they are the only spears worth using).
At 200 I am able to max out pummel, shatter, double attack, frenzy and defensive formation while having a few points to spare. I would prefer maxing out defensive formation over rupture and hot swapping for a spear build because survivability is key for a solo warrior. The extra defense helps a lot, I know this from personal experience

Yes, much better for you dps to use defensive formation than to use one of your top dps skills. High defense helps dps more than high damage.

Mhm, having high dps is worthless when your lying dead in front of a 3-4* tower mob. It's a simple mistake I see new solo players doing time and time again. Playing solo requires a balance of survivability and dps, formation helps balance that out.
I myself am able to take down 4* tower guards and imps without much complication (unless if I'm going up against 3 of them back to back), can even take down 2 4* guards down at once without using Restos.

At your level stance is better than frenzy. Low level frenzy only gives a small boost where as stance is a much bigger. If you wanna use frenzy, use i suggest start using it closer to lvl 100-120.
Use axe or hammer. Whichever is your personal preference.
As a dps, ALWAYS use rupture it is your best dps skill in the game. GB15 said his skills and doesnt use rupture, if you do choose to follow him only change i suggest is to drop double attack and max rupture.
I agree with GB15 about defence. So many solo players make the mistake of only stacking up dps and die so fast. Ofc if you group level then dont worry about def formation.

I agree with the frenzy idea, didn't think that all the way through. I don't use rupture because I use a shadow halberd, and the only time you shouldn't be using rupture is when you feel like your autos are doing a consistent and decent amount of damage every hit at a fast rate which can only happen with a halberd and the right stats/gear. To clear up the rest of the confusion, never drop double attack... It lands every time and doubles your auto damage. Makes it a crucial must have skill for pretty much every build but a tank and maybe hybrid if you're leaning towards a tank

Really depends on how many plat items the OP had access. If your rainbow lixing and have plenty of restos to use then you can just go frenzy, shatter, rupture, dbl attack, and pummel. I like using spear and hotbar axe for rupture. But this can be a bit resto heavy so keep that in mind that sometimes your build is determined by your resources.
