Dual axe/longbow?
Axes are useless in (t)PvP. Offhand axe is pretty useless in PvE too.
Longbow on the other hand is ok but mostly used in condition builds in conjunction with dual swords.
Longbow with axes are like longbow with greatsword, as a warrior you need an interrupt or stun ! at least 2 so if you want eviscerate try axe and mace or axe and shield but NEVER dual axe, duals can be pretty fun though but competative , not really useful, tho 1v1 is great im currently running axe mace / hammer berserker amulet and it is crazy in solo pvp, tho i would switch if i have to team pvp / I know I sound strange but I hope you understand what I mean
Shrug, I went and tested it a bit in hotjoin, the burst is ridiculous. I was getting near 14k with just LB5>Axe5>F1. I guess could swap the LB for a hammer and have the same effect but even more damage, since axe5 refills the adrenaline bar anyway, no need to immob when you can earthshaker. Why is dual axe so bad? The cripple is good, while the auto, the burst skill, and both offhand attacks hit hard (4k autochains made me lol, and 7k whirling axe is like a mini 100b). Is it just the lack of utility?
I’m a total warrior noob btw.

OK the hammer is even more fun, but man is the adren slow on that thing, really gotta build with axes. Earthshaker>whirling axe>eviscerate is truly obnoxious.
I went all in rallybot spec 30/10/0/0/30 just relying on stances and stuns for defense and I am now hitting 18k with that 3button combo on the indestructible golem. 11k of which is aoe. Crazy fun on clocktower. I hit a 10k whirling axe on the light golem too which was fun!

Hammer builds usually have Cleansing Ire from the defense tree and Burst Mastery from the discipline tree. No shortage of adrenaline.
Also, if you are talking less than 5 targets, your Axe autoattack hits harder than the Whirling Axe.

That’s what I was using initially but I still found it really slow :-/ I guess it’s just compared to axe.
That’s good to know about the axe auto, but it doesn’t refill my bar for stage 3 evisc

The problem with Axe in PvP is that the damage on the autoattack is so unevenly distributed. If you cannot hit with the 6th swing in the chain or it doesn’t crit your DPS is going to be really low. Not to mention it’s easy to kite.
Hammer is of course slower and easier to evade (and also much more susceptible to blind spam), but it has so much control that against “average” players you can beat them without losing much health at all.
Do you think the difference between axe chain and whirling is going to make up for only a stage 2 evisc in the burst? Seems like it’s about a 20% loss on the eviscerate.
Even if it’s not I guess it’ll be close enough that I should just sacrifice it for the benefits of a shield hey?
Hmm, I just tested and I’m doing about 3k less damage in the same amount of time with auto vs whirling… something to do with scaling?

Getting around 10.5-11k eviscerates and 10k whirling axes. I like warrior!
