Warrior CMANs and Armor skills?

[Gizmo]

Curious what most warriors use now a days for CMANs and Armor skills.

Support is great, and reinforcement actually seems pretty damn handy as well if you are worried about wounds stacking for bleeders.

Are most warriors using slash/puncture/etc protection instead though for their armor or a mix of both?

As for CMANs, what do most use aside the obvious surge/wspec/bonding.

Parry Mastery? Toughness?

surge and toughness are really useful for me, but obviously wouldn't be as meaningful for a large race. Mobility is pretty awesome, and Parry Mastery is a good return on investment.

edit: keep in mind that the bonuses from surge/toughness are capped just like enhancives, so if you have more than 8 STR boost, going beyond rank 5 of surge would be a waste, and also blah blah toughness boost HP etc.


Obviously I don't care too much about other skills, since I have 14 points left over due to being lazy after my fixskills.. I should probably put those points in cunning defense.

Just examples, full plate, no encumberance, maybe some wounds.

Every time mobility saves my skull 3 or 4 times in a row during a swarm I smile. Hamstring has proven handy, but I play a small race so.... Other than that you have some good suggestions.
