Guild Wars 2

since this weapon set only attack single target, what is your intend and purpose? Maybe dueling?

I just honestly wonder why using it for which purpose. I know mace is good at bunkering though, but if you are not bunker warrior, why use it?

Thank you

What? Both weapons hit multiple (three) targets.

Mace is my new favorite weapon actually. Skull Crack is so incredibly deadly if you manage to land it. With Superior Sigil Of Paralyzation that’s 4 seconds of stun.

Mace isn’t the most useful weapon a Warrior has access to but landing a good Skullcrack has to be one of the most satisfying things in Gw2 for me, lol. I just go “ahhhhh YEAH” every time I nail someone with it.

Mace is great in team fights too? If you stun a guy in a team fight he’s as good as dead. Just because it’s a single target stun that doesn’t mean it isn’t made for team fights.

The difference between Hammer and Mace is really with mace you can take a shield and last LONGER on a point.

Both are made for team fights because THEY HAVE STUNS. Your job is to bait out cool downs and make people easy to kill for your team on Mace Warrior or ANY Warrior with a stun build for that matter. It sounds simple and easy sure, but you have to be good at landing high casting times, duh.

And to answer your other question, yes you CAN use mace as a zerker spec AND can hold a point but be prepared to play one of the hardest builds in the game.

so the purpose is dueling ?

Skullcrack is mad op. Many blocks reflects and can oneburst them instantly whilst stunned

@blacktruth the king of esports:

good at lading high telegraphed skills with a long casting time….

So you mean being lucky that you don’t get random blinded,that the enemy has no stunbreaker / blink rdy, no dodge rdy, that no guard is around who can gives stability…. etc…..etc….

Pls stop always pretending that you’ll be successful with high telegraphed skills if you would "count " dodges and stunbreakers.Slow Telegraphed skills are bad and always will be bad and that’s not a matter of skill.
Not any team comp needs a slot which is wasted with a stunlock warrior who is slow , bad in 1v1 and just a gimmick in teamfights. Which is maybe also the reason not a single top tier team has ever used one – ofc except the great blacktruth.

So pls achieve sth. before you always claim how much skilled you’re and what no so.
I mean you are from NA where the competitive scene consists out of 1 team -
so where have you great guys actually been?

@online: I’m using Axe/Mace for cof p1

As others have said, axe shield n mace shield both pair well with greatsword on a zerker/marauder build, which is just as good in spvp/group play.
Personally I prefer mace n shield since with the shield master trait due to extra reflect and most of the times the shield CDs are back when most needed. This is much more durable than the old but yet popular amongst some; gs/hammer warrs, since hammer is so kiteable out of f1 and u need the defense.

its good in casual hotjoin where your opponents do not bring stability and stun breakers.

impressive mace-physical-rampage combo
thx~

I play skullcrack occassionally in pvp (GS Mace/Shield) and it is definitely satisfying to land that hundred blades but its takes quite a bit of effort to setup and if you come across a double stability warrior or guard with a lot of blocks/blinds/stability then you are gonna have a tough time.

Plus you can be kited relatively easily.

Its still a lot of fun tho. The shield reflect gives me lots of giggles when noob Pew Pew rangers use rapid fire on me and end up taking off half their HP before they realise whats going on.

I main Mace/Shield Greatsword and it’s the most fun I’ve ever had in this game. I love baiting out stun breaks with a shield bash or a level 1 skull crack, and then once all their stun breaks are on cooldown I hit them with the greatsword cripple and then land a level 3 skull crack + paralyzation sigil for a 4 second stun and drop them from full health to death with a hundred blades.

Opening the fight with the Mace counter attack reflection always results in something funny too. I once shot back a P/D Thief’s full pistol stealth attack and he melted instantly.

Erm, I have used Axe mainhand for most of my GW2 life. It is my favourite weapon on Warrior alongside GS.

Eviscerate is one of the big reasons why. It does need an improvement but it is still usable and fun on burst specs.

Use wise, Axe is meant to be the high risk high reward damage weapon.The burst skill itself is this incarnate as the range for damage is huge. You might hit low even on crit, but decent, or you might hit really high and do a ton of damage. It is also meant to gather adrenaline quickly (as seen from traits like Axe training).

To be honest though they could improve it. Namely make the adrenaline gain base line and make Axe training something else. That would give Axe a baseline niche of adrenaline building, and if they improve eviscerate also it would be set.

Eviscerate? Maybe it could evade for a short period during it’s leap, dunno if that would turn out broken, but I don’t think it would since it has such a quick animation anyway. Or it could be unblockable? (This 2nd one seems far more broken potentially… but it might be worth a test?)

Heck even some Vuln like 12 Stacks would be nice. Like all it has is damage and that damage can sometimes be out done by Arcing Slice. Quite frequently actually.

Tbh I’d just like eviscerate to get back its old range, I don’t mind it being predictable it’s supposed to be like that seeing the crazy numbers it can pull but the lack or range is a big problem.

I just feel it lacks as a burst skill. Because every other burst skill has something synergizing with it’s style. Killshot has a far better pay off, and Eviscerate’s damage is so unpredictable due to it’s range of attack power on Axe.

I am fine with the range myself, I hit 90% of the time but then again SPvP is small.

kk thz. I am pretty much understand from comments, so the case done. I will delete this since i know what to do.

Thank yoi very much!!
