This build is for General PVE, Sorrow's Furnace farming and other things. It is mainly for warriors who wish to tank but have only the Prophecies campaign. This build uses a sword with Zealous prefix and Hundred Blades, to hold aggro and quickly gain Energy and Adrenaline to maintain defensive skills and party buffs.

Equipment
Any armor will do fine.
Any good shield.
Any good sword with Zealous prefix on it, like Shak-Jarin's Sword
Any headgear that boosts one of the three attributes. If you don't use Tactics headgear then you can change Minor Tactics rune to Major.
Usage
With 14 to Tactics, Defensive Stance and Disciplined Stance can be use continually with 1 second gap between them. "Watch Yourself!" between the stances.
Defensive Stance ends if you use a skill, so you can only use Healing Signet while its off. Use Hundred Blades, Deadly Riposte and "Shields Up!" only while Disciplined Stance is on.
Counters
Blindness
Ward against melee
Variants
Healing Signet can be replaced with riposte for some more attacking power. NOTE - you can only use riposte between the stances with Watch Yourself!.'
For Monk Secondaries Balthazar's Spirit is a nice addition.
