Pretty solid, but not god-like.

Never fear, the NetBoys are here!

You did get shafted on decise, if your lunger doesn't have expert, yet.  Of
course, I have a lunger who got a really big bonus, so I won't complain.  The
fact that your guy has riposte, AdEx Init, and only expert attack would
indicate that you shouldn't be _trying_ for the jump, especially since you
usuaal don't get it.  If you're up to trying out new things, how about:
  6   9   5 ------->4
  9   7   6 ------->9
  6   6   5 ------->4
  x/d L L/d         d  			d=dodge

Or, for that matter, try some kind of PL/LU hybrid strategy, or PR/LU hybrid.
It just sounds like you're trying to fit this guy into a mold that he doesn't
like.  Try out other things.  Try to take advantage of the skills that he has
instead of forcing him.  Accentuate the strengths of your warrior.  Don't try
to make up for his weaknesses.
