[edit] Index of PvE General Builds by class and elite

An experimental index, tailored to suit my preferences. Basically, the purpose is to make it easy to spot elites that needs capping priority, and to spot builds that take advantage of already capped elites. Also, now adding attribute distributions to get an overview of those.

[edit] File:Wanker-icon.png Warrior

It seems that good warrior builds follow the simple Strength 12/(Weapon Mastery) 12 model.
