Attributes:
Strength - 12

Tactics - 3
Equipment:
The best sword available, preferably with +30HP and a Sundering or Furious sword hilt (Barbed and Cruel would also work). The best shield available, preferably with 30HP and -5/20% mods.
Minor runes of swordsmanship and strength. Superior runes of absorption and vigor.
Sentinel insignias, since you will have 13 strength at all times with the rune.
Description:
Many of these skills are the same as in the All-Purpose Swordsman. Some changes have been made, however, to hone this build for devastating combat.
Before entering combat, you can choose to fully charge up all of your adrenaline skills with Rage of the Ntouka. However, this may be unneccessary if you start your attack with Enraging Charge, so you may want to save Rage for later.
Use Enraging Charge as you near your opponents, but before you get within their aggro. The increased speed will allow you to reach ranged enemies (such as elementalists or rangers) before they can start attacking you. Enraging Charge will also give you an instant 4 adrenaline from your first strike (normal 1 + bonus 3).
________________________________
This adrenaline boost will allow you to start your onslaught of attack skills. Barbarous Slice will do bonus damage and cause bleeding, Gash will cause Deep Wound, and Steelfang Slash will cause extra damage. Once you have used all of these skills, finish off with a Final Thrust for some punishing damage.
Continue to use Rage of the Ntouka and Enraging Charge and your attack skills will be almost always charged. This allows for an overwhelming "Shock and Awe" kind of offensive, that is just as useful in PvP as in PvE.
In case you are also taking damage, you can use Endure Pain to increase your max health and Lion's Comfort to heal yourself.
