I've been testing different builds on Warriors and wanted to know what you guys found useful.
Right now im at lvl 13 Warrior/Mesmer (Strength:8, hammer:8, Tatics:3 Insiration magic:3) I was planing to combine hammer knockdown skills with mesmer interupt since the time on them is only 1/4 secs. Inspiration magic is useful also because it contains elements and physical resistances. Tatics because of healing signet.(lvl 1 =40hp =/..)
Just thought i can post another sub-job for warriors been seeing too many boring War/Mo!!

Hia BraSilnGea, and welcome to our little community.
I'll not comment on the Hammer end of your build. I've honestly never used a hammer. Just not 'me', which doesn't mean it's bad btw. I would like to comment on the Inspriation side. Those Mantra's, which are basically stances are really nice, there's a lot of them you probably don't have yet either. they're pretty neat as they give huge bonusses against a certain damage type. Their drawback is that they lower your armor stats on another damage type. That can be a pain if you run in the wrong type of damage dealer.
So what I did when I played a W/Me, a long time ago (she's now a W/R) was combine them with my armor. Compensating my armor's weaknesses with the Mantra, which generally ment that the drawback would be deducted from what was my armor's highest defense. Overal result, not peach-perfect, but decent.
In the end I first switched my 2nd profession to Monk later in the game for better healing and some vague idea's about farming. But I finally settled on Ranger which allows even more Stances like the Warrior has and gave me Apply Poison for my Axe to boot :-)
Hope this gives you some idea's :-)

Ever heard of the kd/as Warrior?
It's a Warrior/Elementalist who wields a hammer, using Earth spells to the advantage. KD = Knock Down, AS = Aftershock.

Those are really rare though. Most KD warriors you see nowadays are pure hammer warriors, with only mending from the subclass.. you know, those W/Mo standard builds. Warriors still do not seem to think it might be worth investing in a more controversial subclass such as Elementalist.
Me, being a diehard monk, can verify the annoyance level of KD/AS warriors. That level is high.
Character list:
Ryolan Levi, Mo/N20 - Tunderhead Keep
Levi Treehugger, R/Mo20 - Abaddons Mouth
Levi Swordsinger, W/*2 - Pre-Searing
Levi Ftw - PvP slot 1
I seem to taste like bread.

^ That said, my warrior is a W/Mo, but only so i can quickly get to lvl 20, then i will experiment with other secondaries...i spent some time with a pvp W/E which worked great, so that's what i'll probably try first.

Well, the "problem" with a Warrior's second profession, in both PvP and PvE is generally that whatever he does with it, someone else with another profession can generally do it better. Or has more Energy to do it with. This is ofcourse off-set byt the Warrior's ability to do 'it' close up and personal-like :-)
But, every other 2nd profession for a Warrior except Monk, requires putting some thought into your build, figuring what you have the energy for, if your build can still function with a -10% DP and such.
True, even W/Mo requires some thought, but as 0.7 Milion people have put their collective mental prowess in it, that one's been pretty much figured out for the most part :-P
One thing I still don't see much of, and probably won't ever, since the AoE/AI patch is combo's of a Warrior and a ranged smiter. Most smiters go for the Mo/W build and put their smiting enchantments on themselves. It seems more practical to me to cast Balthazar's Aura on the warrior in your team though. Or whichever partymember has gotten too much Aggro :-)

yes seen them in battle and met them in game used to be a pvp only kind of thing think it can be verry usefull in pve too.
also perhaps protectors strike and an aoe is kind of good for finishing.
