Guild Wars 2

Since Berserker Warrior has been nerfed into the ground… let’s bring back an old favorite of mine.

AXEBOW. - http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNAncTjMdQlH25BmhAnIGqCqcD66UALgGIA0eI2zBA-TJBHwA92foZZAAPAgBHCAA

IMPORTANT INFO:
Sigil of Stagnantion on Axe/Sword – – – VERY CRUCIAL TO BUILD (Synergizes strongly with leg specialist)
Sigil of Cleansing on Longbow

VARIANTS:

Utilities:
Dolyak Signet for more toughness
Warbanner for support and team fights
“Fear Me” for extra shout and fear.

Important Build Combo -

Build adrenaline and poke with longbow.
Move in close, swap to Axe/Sword to activate Sigil of Stagnation and Leg Specialist and then immediately eviscerate.
Use Throw Axe in combination with Leg Specialist to set up more Eviscerates.
Be aware of Diminishing Returns with your Immobile condition.

Reason:

Shouts I believe were buffed quite significantly last patch and with ANOTHER significant buff to the damage and utilities of all axe abilities…this build should be quite solid. I’ve been seeing a lot of potential with it the last 6 hours of game play with it. Been able to win most 1v1s and I prefer using Warbanner over Signet of Rage.

Ok bro, I know what you’re talking about but I remember that it was Celestial Axe/Bow with shouts.

Shouts are better now but they are still bad unless you have healing power. Even then they are pretty bad, except for shake it off, that’s the only decent shout imo.

Coincidentally after I read the patch notes I was thinking the same thing but I didn’t think shouts would be good enough becasue the condis are too aids now. Instead I was thinking the new trait is a double blast finisher and it would be 6 stacks of might instead of 3. With the right sigils and stuff I figured it would not be hard at all to 25 stacks of might.

So I tried this build today in World vs World. It’s not the best obviously but it was really fun. I can get 25 stacks of might really fast and it hits Pretty hard. Just no mobilitys.
