I’m making an axe warrior for wvwvw and just need a little advice on build/equipment

1, Maybe Knights armour+divinity runes and berserker trinkets/rings?
2, skill slots – FGJ, Bulls charge, balanced stance + signet of rage

Traits 20 v, x
0
20 v, ix
0
30 v, x, xi

Would this be good for wvwvw? or would I miss out on the crit chance from berserker armour?

Knights doesn’t have less precision than Serker. What you will miss out on is the power and crit damage. Eviscerate has over a 2.0 skill coefficient at full adrenaline so each point of power actually functions like 2+, but if you don’t want to go glassy, knights is fine.

This link will help you decide what gear to make knights. Pick Knights stuff from the bottom of the list and Berserker stuff from the top.

As far as the build, I wouldn’t take mobile strikes, but I understand the choice.

Yeah i’d be missing out on power but I read that glass cannon warriors die too easily, and using food I can make up the power deficiency .

Lol I was just responding to your question. I played everything from full apoth to full serkers and I’ve never been able to get away from the glassy build. A lot of people knock it, but it isn’t a trash build. It just has to fit your style. My suggestion, never go full serkers… you can’t miss what you’ve never had 12k evis and 16k killshots are addicting.

:-) Well, at the mo I have all berz armour/trinkets + divinity runes but I do worry i’ll drop like a sack of s*^&% to anything more than a stiff breeze. But then, having knights would reduce my damage output… ummm

I run shield, endure pain, balanced stance to survive. I don’t get a ton of time, but usually it’s enough.

I’m fairly new to the game so this is more of a spvp experience than wvwvw yet and I was just about to ask about this same weapon set combo, but so far I’ve been running 0/20/30/0/20 with endure pain, shake it off and bulls charge and I was using berserker gear
