Yo, I made this a few weeks back, was testing it out changing a couple of things and there, and I have the finished product. Without further-a-do, here you go:

Alright, I’m gonna go through a couple of things here, and later on I’ll tell you how to burst with this.

Equiptment, Runes and Sigils:

-Greatsword: Leech and Hydro are pretty self-explanatory.

-Axe/Shield: Sigil of Rage because axe autos with quickness is amazing, and helps with burst. Blood is pretty self-explanatory.

-Rage Runes for added ferocity, and whenever you get fury you do 5% more damage, which works well with Fatal Frenzy which gives you 7 seconds of fury, 3 seconds of quickness and swiftness whenever you activate Primal Rage. The fury also gives you a pretty high crit chance so you do more damage.

Discipline:

-Warrior’s Sprint is pretty standard.
-Destruction of the Empowered is pretty kitten good in my opinion due to the excessive amount of boons everything has nowadays (thanks ANet).
-Heightened Focus is pretty kitten good as well due to the fact that the first part of your burst will bring your target’s health below 50%, giving you extra quickness to complete your burst and/or cleave.

Defense:

-Standard, no need to explain.

-Berserker:

-Savage Instinct since it’ll stun-break your Headbutt which will allow you to burst. Oh yeah, it’s also a stun break and condi cleanse.
-Blood Reaction because it works pretty well in making up for that lack of ferocity since Demolisher’s amulet has over 1k precision, thus more damage.
-Eternal Champion since you get might whenever you stun-break, as well as as having a pulsating stability so you don’t get stunned when you are bursting.

Utilities:

-Headbutt, Endure Pain and Zerk Stance are pretty standard.
-Signet of Might is your trump card (TRUMP 2016! Kappa), there are so many blocks in GW2 now, Dragon Hunter, Chrono, Engi, Rev and Warrior all have blocks. not anymore baby.

How to use:

I’d like to describe this as a guitar solo, if you can land every note (your skills) then it’s amazing, if you screw up a little, it’ll still sound good (it’ll still do a lot of damage). So here’s how you do the burst rotation, start off in axe shield: Signet of Might -> Headbutt -> Activate Berserk -> Decapitate -> Shield Bash -> Cyclone Axe -> Weapon Swap -> Whirlwind Attack -> Arc Divider (Arc Divider is within range after the Whirlwind Attack). They’re either dead, under 15% HP, or just kited you because you’re bad (so know the stun breaks and count the dodges).

The best uses for this is for skirmishes and team fights, you will absolutely eat people alive. You can take 1v1s if you know how to kite, Scrappers, DHs, Druids, and Revs you shouldn’t have a problem with, if can pull a win off against Reaper (depends on how much shroud they have). I would say the hardest match-up would be condi Chrono due to the insane amount of evades, blocks and invulns they have (which is stupid, thanks again ANet). Thieves can also be a little trouble due to their kiting ability, but you can counter them pretty easily with a trait swap (which I’ll explain below).

Now there are obviously other ways to play this and burst with it, but that rotation I mentioned above is the one that does the most damage. I could go on and on about all the other possible burst rotations but that’s up to you and to figure out and practice with.

NOTES AND TIPS:

If they only have physical damage on the other team and multiple thieves, swap Cleansing Ire for Last Stand and swap Eternal Champion for Bloody Roar (Bloody Roar is what will counter thieves pretty easily).

A good opener is to also throw Bladetrail then immediately weapon swap when the greatsword projectile is thrown, this will not cancel the projectile and it’ll still do damage, then you immediately throw Throw Axe, if these crit that’s above 3k damage.

If you got any questions message me at Senpai Wombat.

Yes power warrior with axe/GS rocks. I play i quite diffrent but basically it hits dam hard.
But why rage rune? I personally like surging for this. Power, boon duration and it´s funny to put on shock aura with head but. Less disturbance when you focus someone down. I also use boonrip not rage sigil.
Opener is usually cyclone axe to evade their opener. Then shield stun – head butt — berserk — burst – swap — if stunned 100 blades. I use taunt on swap not stab. extra damage and it´s the third cc in a chain making hiting easier and if i tount other fine they hit the shock aura XD. Quite diffrent but ouch build … No defy or endure pain which is quite strange but the only thing i need it is when focused by a team.
Also i recognized i can live with only two stunbreaks 90% of the time. Again its focused CC but even then shock aura can be realy disturbing when i break stun with head butt, taunt and arc dive. In solo Q when the other team is not trained on com it runs havoc.

I often use bull rush or shatterstone not might signet. But agree somtimes its a winner.
