Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been using greatsword since like level 10, I’m just shy of 60 currently and much like just about everyone else, I’m becoming painfully bored with GS. Yes the damage is crazy and it has good mobility, however, when it comes to being mobile AND doing the crazy damage GS is lacking. Enemies with knockdowns (or god forbid, multiple) can shut out a good part of your damage by kicking you out of Hundred Blades. Also when channeling if you see a big attack or aoe coming your way, your choices are either to eat the damage or stop to dodge. I really hate that kind of simplistic flowchart gameplay. What’s more, GS is very dangerous and kind of inefficient for running in dungeons (same reasons as listed above but even more so when boss attacks can easily kill you instantly).

So my question is this, how would Axe/Mace fair for leveling in terms of being able to grind out hearts and things and move on as well as soloing events? What would be ideal point allocation? Skills used?

I say axe/mace because it’s seemingly a staple for most warriors in pve as well as pvp currently with the double vulnerability stacking, the slow, the short ranged stun, and high damage axe 1 and Eviscerate.

I use axe/warhorn and have enjoyed using axe/mace aswell, its a good combination if you are focusing on power as the axe does high consistent damage and crits and a utility offhand like the mace for stuns or the warhorn for mobility works great.

Been using this a while now, sure more an 80 build but yea axe/mace is awesome with double vulnerability and this build is pretty epic

Yeah I was looking at his build and it’s mostly where I got the idea from it.

Also been using this for dungeons, incredible damage and party buffs. And the longbow is seriously one of my favoriate warrior weapons. Never thought I’d enjoy using ranged so much on a warrior class.

I switched from dual axes (used more for aesthetics than anything) to the build linked above a couple of weeks ago and I LOVE it. I’m not sure that I’m ready to give up my rifle but that’s mostly out of ignorance of what the longbow can/can’t do. I should seriously look into it though.
