Might build WvW [video]
I was really hoping someone would put up a new axe video. I HATE axe and was hesitant to try it, but knew it would be largely buffed.
Also can I just say to all youtube fight video makers:
When you’re actually involved in the fight and know what button you’re going to push, real time is normal time. For viewers, it’s take a few watches to see what you actually pushed because we can’t see your mind. The difference between playing and watching is like 1000%.
The slo-mo is a really nice feature. I encourage everyone to use it. For appropriate dodge and important skill uses and stuff obviously, not every autoattack!
So thanks for the slo-mo portions.

Since you took the time to make a video that clearly elaborates my position on this “Sword is highest DPS” bullkitten, I want you to specifically notice, especially in that dual engi fight, just how LONG you go with that swoard equipped and not in melee range.
This is why I will always go axe/torch and LB on switch in roaming. I don’t want to hear this “Oh but you have to be in melee to max your bleed stacks” blah blah crap. Standing there dealing NO damage with that sword shows you just how powerful that paper DPS really is.
Hey dude you are walking into a wall.
smack..Wut?…smack…smack…

No one has ever to my knowledge stated sword was the highest damage PvP weapon. I’d love a reference.
PvE, obviously sword blows axe out of the water. For duel? Pretty sure axe blows sword out of the water if you’re condi.
Hey guys, I had a build in mind for the new main hand axe change, I think it works pretty well. I’ll go more into detail later, just wanted to post the video and see what people thought.
The first 2 fights are an hour or so before patch, you can see I’m able to keep about 12 stacks of might up most of the time. The last fight against 2 Condi Engies is just after the patch. I was able to get 22 stacks of might a few times during the fight.
The build I used was based around battle sigils, mighty swap, and the runes from CM which give 45% might duration. Hope you enjoy the video!
Oh and I’d have more fights post patch, but not being able to stomp got me….. a little up set haha. I found out during that last fight that I wasn’t able to stomp, reason you see me kind of just standing still haha.
(still working on what Skills and such I like to use)
Edit: I suppose this could be used for Power as well. Really only need the mighty swap, battle sigils, and + might duration Runes.
If you replace your runes for undead, and battle sigils for bursting, you get 1799 flat condition damage. You can still stack a fair bit of might with 30% boon duration.
So the question is, is it worth going higher boon duration and lower flat condition damage?
The reason I use the battle sigils is because of the trait that shares boons with my pet. It’s the reason I have the fury on survival skills as well, the extra condition clear is nice too. I think stacking might has a higher dps potential than just straight undead runes. Someone can do the math if they like. My condition damage reaches 2200+ during fights.
Having my pet hit harder is a plus. Apparently someone made a whole build based around just that too ha.
why didnt u use ur signet for stability stomp on the dual engi fight?

That was right after patch, I had it on there so I could test that out but completely forgot. Also, when you down warriors or engineers you can stand behind your pet and their downed state interrupt won’t stop you, it’ll hit your pet instead.

oooh my bad, i read it as’ 1h after patch’
I use to run a similar build, same weapon sets but with full apothecary gear and dwayna runes.
Think that gear would do fine with your build or has healing power taken a turn for the worse in the past few months i was gone?
