Description
This is a leveling build I've used for several racial and epic lives. It's designed to be a speedy melee with excellent AoE clearing while being relatively self-sufficient. Between Dragon Lord's Roar and up to three Cleave attacks (WWA, Exalted Whirlwind from Sacred Fist, and then Quick Cutter in epics), you can clear most mob packs with ease. Boss/single-target DPS is lower, but still acceptable.
As I do not play this build at cap, the gear is for 20-30. I find this gearset works very well as a general setup for STR-based melees. Swap out the armor and weapon depending on your needs. For heroics, I run 8-piece Feywild + whatever else at level 5, swap to Silent Avenger + Adherent of the Mists at 10, then PotF + Mists at 15 along with random pieces like Bronze Dragonscale Belt, Crown of Butterflies, and Flameguard Lenses.
You can run this build without tomes, but you'll need to make stat adjustments so you can take Dodge/Mobility at level 1. Discipline is for extra MRR/PRR through GMoF, but it's not needed and is the feat to drop if you run this build for races other than Human.
