Guild Wars 2

who uses this set-up and what do you think about it?

Generally offhand axe isn’t used in condition builds. I guess you could whirl on fields or pull ppl into traps, but spirits? Don’t think so

Negative. I wouldn’t suggest anyone use it. The offhand axe is wasted.

I use OH axe in a trap build, but I don’t really see it in a spirit build.

OH axe is a beast in power builds, in condi, I mean, sb/s-d is a lot better for spirits, but you can go sb/a-a or sb/s-a if you really wanted to, the whirl is decent support on point if u use it, and the pull is good for interrupting stomps, but other than that, its not rlly worth it compared to our other weapons… for spirits and condi at least…

its a skill to learn, it takes a bit of practice. since the return axe does not track, and your enemy is usually moving, you have to watch it on its way back and position yourself accordingly to make sure it hits

An easy way to hit the pullback more often is to use it when the enemy is running away from you or going towards you, after you get more used you learn to position and move for better results.
I love my OH axe against bow rangers since they usually try to stay in higher areas and snipe you, then you just use axe #5 to reflect then axe #4 to pull the target to you, then you just destroy

“Come over here!” is best part of OH axe besides it being the best burst damage for ranger. The only improvement I would like to see with it is the ability to continue over a cliff/gap. I hate using it near one and it just drops off the cliff/edge. Would love to pull people off the edge on its return.
