My katana-wielding warrior is about to max out with Weapon Bonding (yay!) and will have some points to spend. He only has wspec and bonding so far- any suggestions of what to go for next?
Something to keep the (other) critters distracted while you hurt your chosen target with your boosted AS.
Feint. GroinKick. Preferably something you can do in less time than it takes them to recover from, unless there is some other benefit accruing (you have both spiked and flaring and <something else I can't think of that has a possibility of firing off> boots).

Warriors can't train groin kick, so I would advise against getting that one.
If you have tricks mastered, look at passives and a stance (probably Mongoose, maybe Asp). Pick up the first rank of Griffin's Voice once you start training War Cries and use it when you're doing guild work; it'll double the amount you can use before you blow out your voice.
My THW Elf's cmans at 90:
Most of the 2 rank ones are trained for defense against bandits. Coup is a lot of fun if you train more ranks, and I've heard good things about hamstring (which is nice and flavorful for a katana-user) but my warrior uses a maul.

THW users dont have many disabling cmans but in my opinion, 2 ranks of combat mobility and 3 ranks of combat focus are a good next step. After that your personal preferences come into play. If you want more TD get more focus. If you like berserking alot mongoose and parry mastery are good targets. If you have a T4-T5 ensorcelled weapon, tainted bond is nice. And of course training in cunning defense and whichever cmans are troublesome for you.
Pretty much covered already, but I'd add surge as one that its worth having a rank of.
I'd go for hamstring and/or a martial stance as the next major priority, maybe fit in a rank of mobility, and start adding the passive defense ones after that, though if something is giving you trouble a couple of points to get a rank in it right away is a good investment. When you do start adding for passive defense, train a few ranks of shield to get the points for bash rather than using CMan points.
