Axe/Axe? no and no.
Try this: GS with axe/shield – works awesome in solo roaming WvW and PvE.

30/0/0/10/30 is way outdated and playing it in somewhat more difficult enviroments just sucks balls.
Take 30/25/0/0/15 and be a mainstream cookie, it is worth it belive me.
Shield has become a subpar weapon since the buffs to swords riposte, since you will get a 2,5s block on a 15s cd vs a 3s block on a 30s cd, not to mention that throw/rip will deal more damage than shieldbash.
Runes either Scholar, Ranger or Ruby orbs, don’t bother with anything else.
Utilities: Always For great Justice, 1-2 banners (discipline/strength, forget the other two banners) and one skill of choice (signet of fury/balanced stance/endure pain, whatever you need). Elite is Signet of Rage; you can opt to take Battle Standard if your Party sucks, but taking SoR makes the run a lot more smooth for you.
Armor is full zerker, go figure.
As healing skill I would recommend Healing signet, because of the incredible HPS it offers, coupled with omnomberry ghosts (or candied dragon rolls as cheap alternative) you get high amounts of life back.
Sigils are either Slaying or Night, depending on the dungeon, combined with force on the offhand weapon (sword or mace). Having a weapon (pererably sword) with an energy sigil can not hurt for encounters where you need a lot of dodges.

Everytime I see someone post that video, my eyes bleed.
I like how people just get mind kittened by big crits. In reality that build nowadays is quite bad. Totally out-classed by any hammer build or CondiWar or Gs/Mace…

One trick pony build based around axe F1, with NO condition removal. (any decent to good Condition player will take a big kitten on you)

And…On my mark, and signet of might? Really? I mean…ON MY MARK?! Seriously, please.

That’s a good build to make a montage choosing them clips with big crits on newbies/clueless people.
Little to no competitive build for anything else tough.
