Hey all, I'm new to the forums too.
I thought I'd weigh in on making a good warrior build.
I went with non-active skills so I didn't have to mess with mana at all and could just focus on hacking things up :P
I took one point in leap and whirlwind as well as one point in heal for emergencies. I also put one point in Mana Leech and a few in Life Tap. I had Life Tap on my weapon too from enchanting.
Then I dumped the rest of my points into two-handed weapon, deathblow, battle rage, and bleed.
When you have a lot of points in battle rage the armor penalty goes away. (don't mess with this skill until you have enough points/levels to take it to 180 seconds of use and drop the penalty way down) Until I have the levels to make Battle Rage work I use whirlwind/leap just like you do, then I respec at the trainer.
With this setup, pump STR and DEX alot, medium VIT, and almost no SPRT or INT. You can use the "Magic Protection" armor enchantment and INT charms to make up for it. Make sure your weapon has no (or little) magic damage on it.
With all that in place: Battle Rage + Deathblow + Bleed = Feel my Wrath lol
Make sure to turn often if you are fighting groups to apply bleed damage to all foes. The two-hander will help spread the love.
