mace/axe, sword/shield could work in a power build

pvp, wvw, or pve? I only see this able to work for pvp.

Works pretty well i used it months ago.But only until you meet a guard.You will lack burst hence finalthrust will be unusable and axe nr 5 is unusable on guards.Problem is guards are highly popular in spvp so..

Mace / axe
GS or sword / shield
PVT armor / zerker trinkets
Traits: I prefer shouts, but mostly up to you

The gear / accessory combo will make you fairly tanky, yet be able to dish out consistent DPS. If you put a sigil of impact (+10% damage vs stunned / knocked down enemies) your axe #5 (or GS #2 if you use that as a weapon swap) will be that much stronger. Although to be honest I prefer Axe/Mace since so many people run stability / tons of stun breaks these days in wvw.

But the whole point is to use the worst weapon set and make it viable. I’ll try that.

No specific rune or trait set?

Mace/axe and Greatsword
Healing skill: Healing signet or anything else
Utility: Bull’s Rush, Throw bolas and any other defensive stance
Elite: SoR.
Amulet: Berserker
Runes: Scholar or divinity or any other high damage runes you like.

Playstyle: Complete burst. Charge in with Bull’s Rush. Stun with Mace, use whirling strike, use bolas and then use hundred blades.

Travel around with whirlwind attack/Rush. Use Throw GS as a cripple.

The above will never be viable. Mainly because you are asking for the worst weapon set.

If I was playing any other weapon other than GS, I would completely ignore Axe/mace and forget weapon swapping.

Mace main hand is in no way viable for PvE, as for offhand axe it is purely situational and only useful for the 4 skill, the 5 should be thrown in the dumpster.
