So, i’m currently running a critboon build ( http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/74697-build-sonic-boon-shout-greatsword/ ) and i’m having a ton of fun with it.
Sure i don’t crit 40k like zerk, i can get up to 20k at most, but at least i don’t go down with a fart and i can support a bit with shouts.

But i’ve been thinking of switching. Greatsword’s getting boring, i would love to find some Axe / Axe or Axe / Shield (i love axes yes, especially spinning axes ) oriented build (focus on pve atm), still focusing on dealing damage while not being a total squishy. Even mace would be good.

Has any of you got any suggestion to make?

Also if anything, i’m wearing 3 knight and 3 zerk pieces, so if you think i should adjust my equipment just tell me that as well ^^

As you allready have thee boonduration-runes, you can try this:

It’s good damage, a lot of support and you can have fun with all four combo-finisher in groupplay. With weaponswap you can even hold 25 mightstacks on your own. If you like it more complicated, you can go with:

In solo-play i exchange banner of discipline and on my mark with signet of fury and signet of might.

mh interesting. Full zerk but one handed?

Gonna give it a shot soon i suppose. Does it work if i go for axe mace or dual axe instead of wh?

And i would still like to hear opion about axe/mace + shield, if someone is willing to share their toughs =3

I’m warhorn addicted and love the 3might/20sec (with the runes 34sec) on weapon swap.

Warrior-offhand is for utility and mainhand for damage, so it would work well with any other offhand-weapon. Axe/mace+shield i would take 20/0/20/0/30 with sundering mace, dual wielding, cull the weak.

but without 20 points in tactics and warhorn in offhand:
you will loose 20% boonduration, so you will not reach the 25 mightstacks on your on, but still a lot. With all the condition/boon-convertion and combo-finisher you can come up to 6 boons (might, swiftness, vigor, regeneration, fury, regeneration, retaliation), that gives you additional damage with Empowered. you will loose that too. you will also loose the big list of group-benefits from warhorn for things that you don’t need in PVE (only crushing blow may be worth but it is nothing in compare to the warhorn).

IMO: Mace and Shield are not made for PVE. There are a few moments where it is good to have a shield or mace in your backpack, thats it. No need to go into the defence-tree for that. BUT if you love them, play with them! :-)
