LOL looking for advice, seriously man, if before I had my doubts I am now sure that you are the best warrior GW2 have ever seen.

Only thing I don’t ‘get’ is your sig choice.
Why do you need double battle, in the worst case you will lose some up time of 3 might stacks but 1 lighting strike from Air sig will boost your DPS much more.
I would have also change 1 fire sig to energy. It seems you survive well enough with regular dodges but I am sure you can put that extra dodge to good use, but also with reckless dodge you crit for 2-3.5K of unblockable dmg, so it might even be a dps boost rather then a loss.

Because it’s a weak PvP-build. Actually every Greatsword-build isn’t really viable, especally without Longbow for cleaning irse.
On the other hand, in WvW, where you fight mainly people who didn’t enter any Tpvp-match, those builds work fine.
As you see you can farm those people even with a lot of random dodges

I dunno if I would go so far as to call greatsword not viable, it’s all relative. In sPVP you’re going to get more use out of a longbow due to the forced fights in a smaller area, but in WvW you’re going to get more out of a greatsword since the fights are much more mobile and there’s really nothing to force you to fight in a small area when roaming unless you end up fighting in one, but then there’s no incentive to stay like node fighting in sPVP.

That being said, its a lot easier to use a greatsword terribly, but if you know what you’re doing its still a big sword that slices and dices and gets the job done.

I question having Berserker’s Power and Burst Mastery in the same build, if you plan on eviscerating often why take berserker’s power if you’ll lose the dps bonus for a few seconds after doing it?
Yes, signet of fury refills your adrenaline, but in a sustained fight against say a thief or a mesmer that can keep juking you, it becomes unviable to rely on signet of fury to produce adrenaline to eviscerate.

I’d take 2 points out of Strength and get more regen and cleansing ire from Defense to help dealing with the heavy condition roaming meta builds.

Just my 2 cents.

I think the point of this build is to deal as much damage in the shortest possible time. If it becomes unfavorable, escape with greatsword.

Question: Have you tried using Healing Surge after axe burst to keep damage bonus at max? Have you considered using Sigil of Intelligence instead of Sigil of Battle for your axe to guarantee a critical hit eviscerate?
