sucks or? My personal thoughts:

- Gladiator's Defence will cancel Physical Resistance
- Dolyak Signet won't do you very well at 9 strength
- Ether Fest will drain your energy, fast (it also heals poorly at 7 inspiration).
- With your only damage comming from ~10 Axe mastery and Gladiator's Defence every < 9 tactics duration > you'll find yourself to be killing things very slowly.

It'd depend on where you're farming but you should try Racthoh's warrior build out:
Flurry ( Frenzy once you get more comfortable, or Flail if you have Nightfall)
Hundred Blades
Galrath Slash
Final Thrust
Watch Yourself!
Dolyak Signet
Healing Signet
Sprint ( Anything really)

To be honest I'm in love with my Ascalon helm so I always have the +1 Tactics instead of Swordsmanship. Despite this I'm quite happy with my attribute spread:
12 Tactics (Gets you a 130HP Healing Signet which is comfortable)
11 Strength (A 17 second Dolyak Signet, not to mention the armour penetration)
13 Swordsmanship (+35 to your swordsmanship skills)

Zealous sword of Defence with a +45/-2 stanced shield.

No other class can compete with the healing powers of Vigorous Spirit, Live Vicariously, and cyclone axe

But for a warrior build, you might want to focus more on Strength rather than tactics, seeing as Physical Resistance would be one you most of the time.

hmm what if i use Watch Yourself instead of Dolyak signet.. so i raise use the 9 points in str to raise tactics axe and inspiration..

and well.. with a zealous axe i dont really have energy problems.. 1 cylone axe in big groups=full energy

I would suggest that you dump Gladiator's Defense in favor of Tripple Chop, try to get your axe mastery up to 15. 15, 10, 9, 7 is more then possible after runes (sup axe). In fact, if you're running low on skill slots you can drop Cyclone Axe and just use Tripple Chop.

Another healing option is Lions Comfort which works great for people with points in both Strength and Tactics.

emm im dropping the str... ill use watch yourself (which i can keep up all the time instead of dolyak signet..and using healing signet instead of ether feast

its 8 Insp 11 axe 11 tactics (without runes)

kills faster with gladiator now.. and i rarely die with the minotaurs or trolls

so far so good

also i might change physical res for ele res when fighting hydra
