hi all
i recently started playing pvp with my gwf toon.
i love it since im considered a low gs (only 14K) and although im getting my *** kicked i love the challenge in it.
so i wanted to read from experienced pvp gwfs here what encounters should i use? rotation etc.
thank you

threatening rush
punishing charge
then you have basically the 2 skills that people hate this class for.
Punishing charge is useless. Nobody hates it. Puny damage single target wise, plus it can be interrupted by CC so it's even more useless...
Current META is intimidation build but only at high power 10k+= high gear score.
Other PvP builds are far behind TRs, CWs, DCs, HRs...but you can try to go Destroyer or, if you're crazy brave, instigator like i'm doing now.
You can use these builds in PUG. Not viable against geared/ exped players or in premades.
Rotation i suggest fof non-intimidation builds is FLS-IBS-RS mainly to boost the poor survivability we have. If you're exped enough you can land direct RS against pugs.
Slot bravery as a must imho for extra deflect and run speed to avoid being kited. Slot trample of the fallen if you're not a sentinel or destroyer if you have focused destroyer feat in destro tree.
Iron Vanguard is the way to go for PvP mainly thanks to FLS and threat rush for more mobility/ being less kitable.
As a sentinel you can go with trample and weapon master (weapon master feated, trample to boost intimidation proc with starting FLS).
Here is the rotation: You leave the campfire/TR instakills you/countdown for campfire
Well actually this is the rotation for the other classes. For gwf it's more like
You leave the campfire/anything instakills you/countdown for campfire
Not true. GWF has real problem with TRs. Rest classes are near balance. I hate when ppl lie, we should give honest feedback.

Truth be told right now on LIVE only some very good TRs can beat me 1x1. This is a pure 1x1 with similar gear and a good deal of skill from the rogue. Anything else I can outtank and eventually bring down.
And now here is the disclaimer - all of this is only possible because I have invested a very long time and a lot of ZEN into my GWF. If my gear was lower Id be toyed with in PVP.
Conclusion: If you want a GWF for PVP prepare your wallet
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream.
The problem is that its only bis geared sent that can deliver that threat and the gear needed is so far far more then other classes.
But once you hit that treashold only tr and bis very good cw can pose as the same killer machines....(some hr is nasty but I face any hr any day compared to these beast of gwfs)
But that was in the past module 6 its nerfed to the ground.....
I wonder what the "GWF is balanced" supporters will pull out then to say the class is fine.
Not like GWF being viable in PvP only at 20k+ GS was a good thing. It means 1% of the GWF population was able to PvP on par with other classes, while "regular" players were trashed by, pretty much, anything except SWs.
TRs being able to 1-shot us with SE in a "press here to kill GWF" fashion was just the icing on the cacke.
And the best part is, it didn't get a fix so far after 2 full modules with this piercing damage <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. Perhaps cause the devs don't care about the class.
For now i support prone for takedown. It would open some other possibilities. Lets start from that. I dont want to overask for buffs becouse we know how its gonna end.
