Here's some basic information from the wiki.

https://gswiki.play.net/A_beginner%27s_guide_to_playing_a_warrior

I have two mid-level warriors (mid-40s) that I can post their builds on when I have some spare time. One uses a two handed weapon and the other wields dual broadswords.

I also had a hardcore shield warrior that I played up until 32/33 before they met an untimely demise.

Wex winks before saying, "Cravin' some winterberry ale? Head on over to White Haven!"

My newly capped warrior mostly uses a lance, but he does unarmed undead (for voln), so I'll speak up.

Polearm Weapons....................| 302 202
Brawling...........................| 273 173

I'm bringing brawling up to max (202) slowly. Even thought I'm not quite at max brawling, I don't have much trouble hitting. And I do decent damage.



I get favor in Reim, and underhunt for cash + favor.

He has 5 ranks of Shielded Brawler (a shield skill)
Mechanics: The penalty to the Multiplier Modifier (MM) while wielding a shield during unarmed combat is reduced by -2 per rank.

It makes it much more shield + unarmed friendly. I'm 2x in shield use, and use a tower shield. That gives me a MM penalty of -19, minus the 10 for shielded brawler means only 9 penalty.

Other than that, there is not much to know/do. The CM skills that help are pretty standard for any warrior build. I went with:

Charge charge 5
Precision precision 1
Specialization I wspec1 2
Specialization II wspec2 5
Weapon Bonding bonding 5
Combat Mobility mobility 2
Surge of Strength surge 5
Parry Mastery pmastery 2
Stance of the Mongoose mongoose 2

Most of those help my lance use much more than UAC. Sorry I don't have better info.
