Experimental Polearm Warrior DPS Build.
One can always build the class as he wants to, though the generic roles in which the classes are planned to develop will flourish more but that does not mean that a different class build will be useless. It might be a bit under powered or if lucky can also become over powered. I have seen a lot of games in which people do build tanks with dps point of view with the primary objective being that the high defense, the high hp and high block will be a bonus for dpsers. The hybrids I call them are always going to be there in all mmorpgs, sometimes they flourish , other times they fail, but I don't think that we cannot build a zerker with keeping in mind dps. Also A lot of people have been wondering about a reflect tank (general), obviously he like the hybrids may be awesome or may fail. But I really think that is is not impossible or a crime to build them like hybrids.
This is a build I think will be quite good. Given that you get quite high str you can also try to improve the vengeance passive skill which makes your attack boost each time you block something.

I have not increased Vengeance as I don't know if you will like the blocking aspect of it. So you have a lot of 2nd job points free.
