Fafner has been reading so much about Defensive builds vs. Arms/Fury builds. She wants to be well liked in her little gnomish way, but she chose a Fury/Arms build for herself.
So far:
Fury
----
Booming Voice 1
Cruelty 5 (she's really not cruel, really)
Improved Demoralizing Shout 5
Improved Cleavage 3 (that's what she tells me)
Piercing Howl 1
Improved Battle Shout 5
Enrage 5
Flurry 5
Arms
----
Deflection 5
Improved Rend 3
Improved Charge 2
Deep Wounds 3
Tactical Mastery 3
She plans to max. Tactical Mastery and select Anger Management. That leaves a couple of talent points. One is undecided and the last will go into Sweeping Strikes.
Originally she wanted Mortal Strike and a Big Axe, but when Mortal Strike got nerfed she decided on her current build. More often than not she quests alone using sword and shield in Battle Stance. In instances she has learned to drop into Defensive Stance, typically after a charge followed by a couple shouts. When she was growing up the conventional wisdom was not to charge around in instances, but it seems to work OK for her (obviously there are occasions to pull with a bow or let someone else politely pull).
Has anyone else tried a similar Flurry build with Sweeping Strikes?
