Guild Wars 2

I cant seem to get good damage from 1handers in SPvP.

whats some tips on improving 1Hander damage for SPvP?

I suppose going axe/mace with 6 points in strength and discipline would make it deal a lot of damage.

But there really is somewhat no point considering 6 defense is just too good if you ever try to play dps warr.

I currently have 6 defense. but I run all 1handers. Cant seem to do enough damage to be effective with Axe/Mace.

Can you post what build your using?

Axe has the most damaging autoattack of all warrior weapons (2h included) period.

Wich traits are you using?
Also wich sigils and amulet?

Use bezerker amulet and put a intelligence sigil on your axe.
Get rid of the accuracy sigils and use the runes of strenght.

Celestial on a non-might stacking build… This is what you’re doing wrong. You can use whatever weapon you want, if you don’t have any might stack with a celestial amulet, you won’t do any damage.
The only build that are strong with celestial are build that allow oneself to selfbuff a lot. In this regard ele and engi are really strong at doing this, warrior manage to do it with shouts and bow.

Depends on what kind of damage, but I’m assuming you mean physical. Then I’d point you to the axe. I recommend going berserker’s amulet with ogre, strength, or hoelbrak runes, alongside with fire and air sigils.

You can specc for good condition damage as well from a swords. You can go celestial or rabid amulet with krait runes.

I personally would use Mace/sword with celestial amulet, and either hammer or longbow as next option. The Mace will help out with stuns, blocks, and dazing. The torment the off-hand sword applies is a real killer.

Try that build:

It’s my warrior build. You can obtain a lot of might from your enemy instead of blasting your Firefield all the time (but a blast with Arcing Arrow is always good) by block your enemy attacks with shield (expecially good against fast attackers, like thief, ele, guardian classes) and when your enemy block you (good against other warriors with shield, guardians, engi, etc).
Cleansing Ire is a Must because grant you the only good condi removal skill that you can obtain.
6 points in Discipline Line grant you good critical damage and to have always your Adrenaline UP. With that you can active your eviscerate every 7.5 seconds with no problems.

Then, Eviscerate can deal 7k or more damage against a berserker build. And you deal Always a Critical Hit if you use it after the Weapon Swap.
To be more effective with that, use Pin Down of LB to immobilize our enemy or Shield Bash shield to stun the enemy before active Eviscerate (immobilized or stunned enemy can’t evade your eviscerate).

If all that don’t make the Axe a very good dps weapon, change weapons and try a GS.

The same rotation of the Axe (LB → Axe+intelligence → Shield Bash → Eviscerate) can be done with Final Thrust of the Sword, if you prefer the sword, but Axe is a better dps weapon.
