Last couple of months been playing around with zerker type builds. Mostly with LB. I found it a tad glassy so was trying to find a better balance.

Two main game plays. 100% WvW. Solo roamer picking off stragglers of a zerg…taking supply camps etc. I also run with zerg at times mostly trying to pick off people trying to snipe from outside of blob.

Lately been running with this setup and I find this to be the best burst plus pretty good sustain….although always trying to tweak it.

I find Path of Scars to have better burst than LB. It doesn’t always hit, but when it does you see damage like 6k from first path of scars…1.1 k from lightning…1k winters bite then another 4k with path of scars return. The damage spike comes from Signet of the Hunt active of 150% damage. I get numerous tells from both allies and enemy of ..“wtf was that ?” because they melted almost instantly.

The base rotation is path of scars…winters bite (enemy pulled to your feet)…split blade then switch to GS..hilt bash..maul..swoop. Very good damage.

I have 4 axes. Two of them have signet of perception so easy to get 25 stacks on the way into battles. Then switch to other 2 axes. Spotter adds another 150 precision. Which gives me approx. 55% crit chance with 79% crit damage.

Not terribly squishy with 2207 toughness and 16500 hps.

When someone uses the word ‘Meta’, a kitten dies. Don’t do it.
