Guild Wars 2

It all comes down to “situational”.
In some places like Charr or Dredge fractal you get a ton more DPS in with Axe/Axe due to major presence of 360 AoE fights and control that rupts HB channels.
In other places where you can easily get stationary targets or you need a more mobile DPS, GS is better.

Lol @ healing shouts with zero healing power btw.
Sacrificing so much DPS traits for 1.2k heals from shouts… unless there is another 2 Warriors doing the same it’s pretty close to being carried, 3600/20 = 180hp/s by sacrificing all utilities for it including EP.
To do this you will skip either Slashing power, or Forceful GS, or Heightened, or Attack of Opportunity which all give a ton of DPS.
But to each his own I guess…

^ Guess you’ve never come across a condi theif in WvW – GL with that.

Anyone can make a zerker warrior – Well done, zerker armour, ruby orbs, zerker trinkets 30 / 30 / 0 /10 / 0.

Congratualtions on having the easiest build in the game.

1) So you suggest making a build that is great against the rare chance that you meet alone a rare condi thief, while being inferior than a more zerky/control build against anyone else.
No, thank you.

2) 30/30/0/10 is hardly “the” zerker Warrior build.
A properly min-maxed zerker Warrior build would be 20/25/0/10/15 or 20/20/0/10/20.
There is very little reason to go 30 strength when there are much better traits around.

3) I don’t see how anything in this game can be easier than just spamming 3 shouts when off CD.
Most people running a shout build make a macro to cast all shouts and SoR together.
Basically half of your skillbar is one button: that, is the easiest build in the game.
Probably only a Ranger spamming Crossfire only would manage to get an easier mode than a shout build.
Zerking actually requires proper control applications, timely spiking, baiting CDs/dodges, and quick disengaging. You cannot just macro all into one button and cheese your way around.

I prefer 20/30/0/0/20 for HB GS trolling. The quickness trait and immob breaking are too good.

Edit: but that’s for PvP.

GS wins DPS if mob is against a wall. Most other real dungeon situations Axe/Mace wins because of mobility and ability to sustain DPS rather than have a chance of missing a full hit.
