Guild Wars 2

So yeah title is basically what I want to know. ATM I’m rolling with dagger/focus and staff. I mostly small/ solo roam and or defending. I live dagger for when I can get in close enough range but would like a bit more range. Last time I tried axe in pve it felt really lacklustre.

There’s a sticky called “Necromancer Tutorials” by Nemesis (A very awesome necromancer), you’ll see a link on a Glass Cannon Necromancer Tutorial using Axe/Focus and Dagger. Axe is amazing for PvE.

I run with Axe/Focus and Dagger/Warhorn in WvW with Full Knights (Toughness, Power, Precision) gear and I really enjoy it.

I personally don’t suggest replacing dagger for axe in wvw roaming since you already have a staff, maybe if you have other people running with you then the vulnerability you apply might help. Eh I don’t know, just try it out and see if you like it.

I run an Axe/Focus build, with life siphoning… do some solid damage with Axe 2, i’ve hit nearly 10k with Axe 2 at the highest and 4.9K with Deathshroud 1.

The life siphon makes up for some of the lack of toughness/vitality… even then i have about 21k hitpoints, which is ridiculous for a glass cannon.

you were so right in the first two paragraphs….

to OP – lose the staff for roaming. Axe/Focus and Dagger/Warhorn.

I find staff is a must for sieging defending towers though, hard to stab people sitting in a wall. I prefer open field combat but at same time got to do what ever I can to help server win

My suggestion is to carry Dagger/Warhorn and Axe/Focus when roaming, and having a Staff in your inventory. When you get to defend, switch D/W for the Staff and have fun!

I use Axe/Focus and Staff offhand for utility/aoe since powerbuilds kinda lack, and axe is a great weapon you can do some major dps. I just hit focus 4 stack vuln then burst with axe 2 and my mobs hp bars just drops to zero.
