Something to keep the (other) critters distracted while you hurt your chosen target with your boosted AS.

Feint. GroinKick. Preferably something you can do in less time than it takes them to recover from, unless there is some other benefit accruing (you have both spiked and flaring and <something else I can't think of that has a possibility of firing off> boots).

Warriors can't train groin kick, so I would advise against getting that one.

If you have tricks mastered, look at passives and a stance (probably Mongoose, maybe Asp). Pick up the first rank of Griffin's Voice once you start training War Cries and use it when you're doing guild work; it'll double the amount you can use before you blow out your voice.

My THW Elf's cmans at 90:

Skill name	Mnemonic	Ranks
Combat Focus	focus	2
Hamstring	hamstring	2
Subdual Strike	sstrike	2
Specialization II	wspec2	5
Coup de Grace	coupdegrace	2
Weapon Bonding	bonding	5
Combat Mobility	mobility	1
Combat Toughness	toughness	1
Surge of Strength	surge	5
Parry Mastery	pmastery	3
Cunning Defense	cdefense	4
Griffin's Voice	griffin	3

Most of the 2 rank ones are trained for defense against bandits. Coup is a lot of fun if you train more ranks, and I've heard good things about hamstring (which is nice and flavorful for a katana-user) but my warrior uses a maul.

Pretty much covered already, but I'd add surge as one that its worth having a rank of.

I'd go for hamstring and/or a martial stance as the next major priority, maybe fit in a rank of mobility, and start adding the passive defense ones after that, though if something is giving you trouble a couple of points to get a rank in it right away is a good investment. When you do start adding for passive defense, train a few ranks of shield to get the points for bash rather than using CMan points.
