Which core Warrior build(s) would you use at Ranked PvP before having access to specs?

[Buran.3796]

 Which ones would you recomend? I'm slated towards trying stun chain builds (hammer + mace & shield) or a gs + rifle for poking at range and mobility, but not sure if that would be the best one could make using the starting blocks of the profession...  Any advice?

How is Hambow these days? 

Should still work fine enough.

  Last autumn I've tried hambow albeit not in the core version but as Berserker iteration and I find out that the "meta" with long bow + mace & sword was stronger. Hambow is still my fav Warrior leveling build for PvE (and I think is the second strongest leveling build across all professions) but I was wondering if I had to play a core Warrior in PvP if it would be clear winner choice as happens core support guardian or a core terrormancer.

   Of course I'm not asking for a core PvP  build stronger than a condizerker or a stunlock Spellbreaker, I'm just wondering if someone has a core Warrior build which found as "yeah, this can work very well at regular ranked Conquest unless you need to win aoutomated tournaments".

@Buran.3796 actually i know there is someone around playing a ham/bow build on leaderboard. But also im using this one instead:

Core Axe/Shield, Greatsword Warrior

+1 for something like this.  GS/axe+shield core war is a solid build.  It’s also a really solid build for getting into PvP.  It’s a very straight forward build with a good mix of damage, mobility, and tankiness to allow you to handle just about any situation decently well, even if not optimally.  
 

One option to consider with a build like this is Rampage as the elite for the CC and mobility.
