Dual Axe build help
Try switching your offhand axe with a sword, mace, warhorn, or shield. Hell, use a toaster or a cat, or nothing at all. Offhand axe is worthless. Any build that can use the fury from axe 4 effectively should already have achieved 100% or be near to 100% fury uptime, and axe 5 does petty damage. It’s also redundant as an adrenaline booster, signet of precision and adrenaline surge are what you should use to boost adrenaline if you really need it. Offhand axe is redundant and useless. Use a mace. Vulnerability as well as knockdown.
Axe in your offhand can have some use. If you use omnomberry pie to steal health with crits, then the 5 ability is pretty good at regenerating health if you have several mobs within melee range. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pkvY8PIYN8 shows a duel axe warrior showing this.
But this is pretty situational. As spelignErrir said, other weapons in your offhand are generally more useful.
Hello, I love duel axes as well. It’s a personal preference so don’t let people turn u off from what u want to play. I run 30/0/10/0/30. Traits are V,X,VIII for strength. I, for defence and V,IX,XII for discipline. My build is all about putting out consistent damage with axes and lots if burst with crit. I enjoy it for both pve, WvW and spvp.
Not using dual axes myself but isn’t axe5 quite good at quickly refilling your adrenaline level after an eviscerate (e.g. if you’re using the traits that give buffs at higher adrenaline levels)
I currently run this dual axe built.

I got all Knightsgear with Soldierrunes and offensive Zerker Trinkets
I think it syngergieses quite good in terms of defensive and offensive. Burstskill does nice damage and restores endurance, 30 points in Disc for faster Burst CD so you can burst on CD get endurance faster and live much longer while doing damage. In general it takes the 8 Secs to refill Adrenalin to full so you can burst on CD with no downtimes (at least in my case)
I think Dualwielding is more damage if you have moderate critchance. You might switch to X if you think you crit often enough. The defensive gear and defensive runes work well with a all offensive spec.
The Armspoints could go into strenght to unlock X but I think Vul supports my team more and I do need the extra critchance right now. If you got a team which high Vul Application you may switch to something else. Disc V could be switched for shouts granting adrenalin if your Adrenalin dosnt regg fast enough.
You may use your healing surge to regg Adrenalin faster if you do not need to heal for a moment.
Maybe isnt the best spec but one which work well for me.

Average 6k crits with axe 5 that refills adrenaline, applies multiple stacks of swiftness or vulnerability from precision tier 1 traits, takes down every clone around you and finishes thieves that try to hide and run, yeah i can see how thats pretty worthless.
