Axe BM
You need some condition removal. As is the only condition you can remove is poison, so any condition user will basically steamroll you.
Swapping out Signet of the Hunt for Signet of Renewal would help. If you must have the speed boost you can just switch to Hunt whenever you’re out of combat, though then you risk getting ambushed. Signet of Renewal also serves as a stun break if you are in a tight spot against a power build so it’s never not useful.
The typical celestial weapon combo is a/d + s/t so you have a little bit of everything on both swaps. Offhand axe is amazing, but maybe you’ll be better off with dagger for some more general survival skills.
And ya, condi removal. Especially for PvP, SoR is like the most underrated skill in the entire game I think. It basically does everything and then does other things you didn’t think about doing.
This is what I run.

Good condi removal, high swift uptime if not permanent. A leap and a blast finisher with healing spring and 1200hp is insanely good. You can get easy 25 stacks of might on your pet with RaO Horn#4 and a few axe autos. With Sic’em its hits like a truck.
@Ehectal i will give the signet swap a go tomorrow when i have time and see how it plays out.
@Fluffball its less about the ammulet since i sometimes run with valk and offhand torch doesnt do as much as the others unless you take offhand training which i dont have. You mentioned offhand dagger but i already use it with my sword. i tried s/a + a/d and it didnt work as well as the former for some reason.
You are right though offhand axe is amazing, especially with the speed change on PoS since getting the pull off and the two hits is far more likely and good for interrupting res/stomp. signet change i can see is a must though. so i get you there
@Slavi
I will give this a try but entangle >>> rapage as one.
thanks for the help so far guys. any more imput is welcome.
