Guild Wars 2

So wondering if Axe/Mace + Axe/Warhorn be good combo for dungeons/fracs ? with 6/5/0/0/3 combo ?

You should probably go 66002 (or 66020 for Empowerd) to make use of the Dual Wield Agility GM trait, and then camp Axe/Mace as long as possible. You could even stack Bloodlust on your Wahrhorn.

Would http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQRBHTdGiBCCKzFQAkAn/gTY6VVGA be decent for solo even through living storylines ?

For solo play I greatsword will work better, but other than that, it looks fine. I use that build myself sometimes.

What about http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Warrior_-_Pure_Axe_EA this spec and do i really need to use night sigil instead of bloodlust ?

When people say X build is better than Y, lets say 6/6/0/0/2 GS > 6/6/0/0/2 Axe, or 6/5/0/0/3 GS versus another similar build, the differences are literally something like 10,000 dps versus 10,200 dps. It doesn’t actually matter. So as long as you’re intelligent about what you do and run a build similar to the meta warrior builds, your damage will be fine. Soloing dungeons/fractals and general utility is a different story though.

I would say that you want 6/6 for axes. Dual Wield Agility is a huge DPS increase, and worth sacrificing quick hands for.

Literally any build can solo the living story. It’s a fine build though.

You lower your personal DPS significantly (by around 1000-2000 I believe? so 10-20%) but you increase group dps by something like 7.5-10%. That’s a party support build, I wouldn’t run it outside dungeons or fractals. I’m not sure if it is even considered worthwhile in that content either, I haven’t played for a while so things might have changed.

And no, for someone like you you don’t need to worry about the sigil differences. You could even go accuracy, air, frailty or fire or something and be fine.

Well 6/6/0/2/0 GS vs 6/5/0/0/3 GS+ Ax/M is very similar is dps indeed. But when you talk about
- 6/6/0/2/0 Pure axe there is around a 700 dps difference.
- 6/4/0/4/0 Pure GS, its around 1500-2000 less dps
- 0/6/0/6/2 PS Warrior, its around 3 000 less dps

So ya, you are right for some build, but the dps drop can drastically drop for other build. For example, the build the OP is proposing will be a loss of around 1 000-800 dps.

Thanks for the numbers. My info is outdated and a lot of what I was going off of was this tool: http://gw2dps.david-reess.de/

But that’s also very out of date.

recently i’ve been playing pure GS 4/4/0/6/0 pretty fun with Fried Golden Dumpling food & 100% crit chance, i’m the only one in the party generating might and it rarely drop off 25 stacks.

The best EA build is 64040 pure GS.

Why? EA should only be used in record runs where the initial ele burst is enough to kill most bosses. Since only 10 second burst matters you should be using GS and not axe since gs has a much better 10 second opening burst than axe.
