[BUILD] Premades Pwn!(tm), for 'casual with build' GvG

Bunnz and I have been planning to make a build around the various premades available for a looong time, but we never got around to it. Having such a build available is very good, since even if someone has just bought the game they can easily pick one of the premades and still do a decent job with the build. Considering that Bunnz is a slothful aussie, I went ahead on my own.

I decided to go for dual warrior, one AoE damager, one snarer (to help the warriors), a flagger, and the standard three monk backline. The build should be simple enough for anyone to play. It's possible to call from any damage position, but the snarer is probably best suited to do so simply because the snares will always then hit at the right time.

First listed is the 'preferred' build, if the player has every skill available. After that comes the premade build intended for the slot. The optimal and premade roles (although not the skills) are the same, to allow premades to function alongside 'preferred' characters. If someone can't quite make the preferred build, but has better unlocks than what the premade allows, an individual decision about how to build the character can be held. This is just to create a baseline that will allow us to simpy grab anyone and still function as a team.

Build critique is welcome, but the majority of suggestions will be slowly implemented after testing, if at all. I am fully aware that this is not an optimal setup - but that's fine with me. As long as we have something that is easy to play, fun to play, and reasonable effective, I'm happy enough.

Without further ado - here's the build!

Premades Pwn!™

Damager: Axe Warrior with Shock
W/E: Strength: 10 (9+1) / Axe Mastery: 16 (12+1+3) / Air Magic: 9
Eviscerate* / Disrupting Chop / Executioner's Strike / Shock / Frenzy / Sprint / Wild Blow / Resurrection Signet

Comments: A straight up DPS character with excellent spike capabilities, the axe warrior needs to mange frenzy and sprint right to get the most use out of her excellent damage dealing. As long as you're not being targeted, use frenzy whenever in melee range to deal more damage and charge the adrenaline up. Use the adrenaline skills as appropriate; I find that I get the most effect by charging to full adrenaline, Gale/Shock'ing the target, triggering frenzy and then unleashing a Eviscerate->Executioner's Strike->Wild Blow combo.

-Use Gale to stop and catch runners or interrupt key enemy skills. If you gale a target, your warrior colleague can beat on it while you're in aftercast.
-Frenzy needs to be managed carefully if you're not to incur more damage than your monks can handle. If you suddently get targeted, use Sprint to break the frenzy stance and regain your full armor rating.
-If the enemy uses an important stance, weigh the value of your current adrenaline and use Wild Blow if ridding the stance is more important than the strikes you've collected.

EQUIPMENT SUGGESTION:
1: Furious PvP Axe of Defense (stance) // PvP Shield (stance)
2: Furious PvP Axe of Defense (stance) // PvP Air Focus +15/-1

Alternative configuration 2 - PREMADE "Paladin"
------------------

Damager: Fire AoE
E/Me: Energy Storage: 11 (10+1) / Fire Magic: 16 (12+1+3) / Inspiration Magic: 8
Glyph of Energy* / Immolate / Fireball / Rodgort's Invocation / Inciendiary Bonds / Fire Attunement / Mantra of Resolve / Resurrection Signet

Comments: The primary AoE damager of the team. Massive fire damage - which will actually land thanks to the mantra. The firemaster requires battlefield awareness to determine where to best place the attacks. If the caller calls the left-wing of a three-warrior trio, choosing to land you AoE on the center will deal 33% more damage.

-Always keep the Mantra of Resolve and the Fire Attunement up.
-Try to always Glyph the Rodgort's invocation. They've the same recharge time, and saving 15 energy every 15 seconds means almost doubling your effective mana pool.
-Incienadry Bonds instantly followd by a fireball deals a nice 200-damage punch compounded by burning damage. If you start chain the cast, the fireball should land almost the same time as the incendiary bond triggers.
-If a running target needs a quick finisher, Immolate is the way to go. It doesn't require line of sight, it casts quickly and it's an instant hit.
