Warrior build that also does good single target damage?
Im trying to make warrior work, and all builds ive seen were focused on clearing
But how do you actually single target damage with warriro? Which setup is the best?

What I’m currently using is resonating shield / shield charge avatar of fire build. Smith of kitava.
It uses resonating shield to clear along with deepest tower and trampletoe. For bosses you stack a bunch of buffs / debuffs and shield charge the boss. With good enough gear it 1 shots pinnacle bosses.
Look up Lexd on YouTube for the build.
I haven't tried it yet but I think Sunder has the possibility to satisfy your single target damage. I tried to swap over from rake to sunder and had good damage but skill tree was not optimal. Definitely need to do a proper play through.
Not sure of your budget, but most Titan Tangletongue builds can scale to some serious single target damage, as well as maintaining elite clear. My two personal favorites were Thunderous Leap and Glacial Lance.
I was playing slam titan and had a 2nd weapon set focused on rolling slam, taking out area off effect for DMG, worked well enough for non pinnacle bosses. Sunder also can guarantee crit with propper set up
As people have said, rolling slam with aftershock and reverberate gets you four attacks two slams for the base attack and even with SoK I have a 95% chance for aftershock. Infernal cry added in and you’ll be smashing bosses pretty easily.
I’m using a 2H mace and shield and still able to delete bosses easily. Deepest Tower helm and execute. I use avatar of fire, in my build but that’s not necessary to boost damage.
Good luck.
With Mace, probably something with Basic Attack+Rage, or if you want Burst I'd say Prefect Strike or Super-charged Slam+Aftershock
Sunder is great for single target. You get a guaranteed crit on fully broken armour.
I’m currently leveling a smith of Kitava wind dancer build that utilizes armour breaker/sunder for single target damage. I have been able to 1-2 shot every boss in the game with AB/sunder combo. Hcssf following Kalltorak’s wind dancer smith guild.
I rolled spear with warrior, I hate slow mace attacks. Rake single target and LS for AoE wound up being my skills, alongside almost every other build this league, hah. Scaling done with crit and low life, with max block has made for decently tanky titan with minimal cost. Cloak of flame because I have no other defenses, so ~50% physical conversion is a life saver.
This is the way. You just need a good or decent shield. Anything else is cherry on top.
