Guild Wars 2

While levelling, I’ve been using mace/axe + rifle, and I’ve been absolutely dominating with it. I’m wondering if this is still viable at 80 and/or in PvP/WvW? Anybody? I’ve not listed the traits because I’m still working those out (just hit 60, time to redo!) in hopes of finding something snazzy.

Of course it is, as long as you’re half decent at timing your block you’ll be fine

I sometimes use the axe/mace combination in WvW. I like the knockdown skill. The thing to remember is that your weapon choices are only part of the process. You have to pick the right utilities to compliment them, and then you have to adjust your play style to take advantage of your choices.

I love the idea that there are so many different ways to play this game and remain formidable. Most people are using the great sword, which I do as well, but sometimes I want to change my play style and this game gives me that option.

I’d say I’m pretty good at timing my block and using 3 to interrupt. The utilities are certainly going to be a little tricky to figure out, but at least switching those up is free, unlike traits lol.

Since I’m still levelling, I’ll stick with traits that just boost my damage/crit like crazy and the good ol’ no-brain 5 signets. Seems to work well for levelling. After that, for traits, I’m thinking… 30/30/10 in Arms/Tactics/Discipline, and I haven’t figured out which major traits to pick yet. That can come later.
