Guild Wars 2

I havnt actually played beta but have had a quick look at some builds and thier new skills. Just crafted Frostfang so im going to have a bad time dropping that from any build going forward!

So more of a post to see if anyone has tried something similar that includes axes. Forget about the current Meta with PVE. Just something i can solo PVE with and maybe run a few dungeons as a second warrior not running phalanx Str.

How about an Axe build with Beserker (Fatal Frenzy), Arms (Dual Weilding, Signet Mastery) and Strength (Axe Mastery). This would result in 25% increase attack speed in Berserker Stance and with the addition Ferocity from the build, wouldnt auto attacks hit really fast and like a truck in the 6 hit combo? Decapitating whenever possible for some massive burst aoe damage?

everything is viable in pve

Ok ill be more specific, group PVE, Dungeons, Fractals. Thanks for the generic response though, it helped

I was testing it in a dungeon with a modified Meta Build, and I noticed while I was using Berserk, I was dealing significantly less damage — nearly 50% less on Hundred Blades, Axe Bursts, and Whirlwinds.

It felt like Berserker’s Power and a few other flat damage buffs weren’t working in Berserk, which if it is the case needs some serious fixing or Berserker will be dead out of the gate in terms of PvE Meta.

FTFY

OT: The problem with your thread OP is that you’re using the wrong word; viable means by definition “capable of working” and the answer to that is pretty much always going to be yes, considering it’s possible to win in PvE, PvP and WvW even if you’re naked sometimes.

If you want better answers, ask your question better. Do you mean to ask if it’s the best option? Do you mean to ask how it compares with the best option?

If they fixed the bug I think I happened upon, I think Berserker would be the best option, but if they never fix it… then no, not anywhere close.

If you have a Shiro Revenant in your party, you can have some lulzy fun with more than 325% crit damage. Damage will easily be sufficient and you can even double down on axes. Too much crit
