Best Warbringer Ascendancy Skills

Skill Effect
Turtle Charm ・25% less Block chance.
・Can Block Damage from all Hits while Shield is not Raised.
Wooden Wall ・20% of Damage from Hits is taken from your nearest Totem's Life before you.
Anvil's Weight ・Break Armor equal to 10% of Hit Damage dealt.

Listed above are some of the best ascendancy skills for the Warbringer. First is Turtle Charm. With enough investment into block chance and equipment like the Svalinn Crucible Tower Shield, Turtle Charm can tremendously increase the Warbringer's survivability as he can now block AoE attacks, arguably the most fatal attack type in the game.

Next is Wooden Wall, which, like Turtle Charm, greatly enhances the survivability of a Warbringer utilizing totems by making them act as an extra layer of defense.

Finally, there is Anvil's Weight. This skill greatly buffs and enables Armor Break builds utilizing the Armour Explosion support gem. With it, chain explosions are likelier to happen, making mobbing easier.

Modifies Numerous Warrior Specialties and Mechanics

Unlike the Titan, the Warbringer ascendancy makes the Warrior's playstyle lean towards being a semi-summoner and self-enhancer, capitalizing on buffing and modifying a variety of the Warrior's specialties, including War Cries, Totems, Shields, and Ancestral Spirits.

Buffs Totems and Adds Spirit Minions

With the Answered Call and Wooden Wall skills, Totems become more useful tools for survival and combat support, able to tank damage and act as a catalyst to summon ancestral spirit minions that provide offensive support and buffs.

Improves and Modifies War Cries

Meanwhile, skills like Warcaller's Bellow and Greatwolf's Howl improve the capabilities of all War Cry skills by allowing enemy corpse detonation, making War Cries a viable offensive skill, and removing War Cry cooldowns to use them more often.

Enhances Armor Breaking

Broken Armor

The Warbringer can also make armor break more useful with skills like Anvil's Weight, making armor breaking easier to get buffs from passives like Pile On. Skills like Imploding Impacts also increase damage, albeit negligible, when breaking armor below zero.

Increases Blocking Utlization and Survivability

Finally, the Warbringer also shines in modifying and improving shield blocking with Turtle Charm, allowing players to block all attacks except DoTs and better survive end-game content. The ascendancy also helps in near-death situations with the Encase in Jade skill.
