Guild Wars 2

Tired of GS and want to try something else. Axe+shield seems nice, axe autoattack is great and lot of enemis have projectiles which can be reflected. Healing signet + Adrenal health will heal for 580~ every second.

But i’m not sure about other traits.

Since you’re going for a shield in PvE, and wanting the regen, I take it you’re looking a support build? This is the one I use. You can swap the main hand to an Axe with no problem. Offset weapons you can go axe+warhorn (which is super fun), or stick with the rifle.

This is my pve zerker build. Its really straight forward. You can also go Axe/Axe. Secondary can be anything from Great sword or rife. For the final utility slot you can go banner of precision > banner of strength > on my mark.

Off-hand axe is just terrible.

I find axe/mace to be extremely effective in PvE. I’m using Valkyrie weapons and add sigils/runes that complement. I can pretty much steamroll anything in PvE.

Since you want projectile deflection I recommend sword offhand, it has 15s cooldown but it only blocks once in melee, for 2.25s in range though(I think). Never go offhand axe, axe autoattack does more damage than offhand axe.

shields make you take more aggro. the only time anyone should use a shield is in a lupi fight. if you are tired of GS maybe try axe/mace + GS 30 0 0 10 30. its far superior in DPS than pure GS builds and you dont look like a total noob to people who know what they are doing.

in lupi OH sword> shield because its block has shorter cd

for an axe/shield build in pve just run the standard 30/0/0/10/30 meta build, just change out dual wielding for something else. pure axe/mace is equal or only slightly lower DPS than GS axe/mace rotation (esp against a wall where GS wins by a bit)

Reason why i want shield+reflections is not just because i want get rest from GS, but because of Guild Tower Shield skin, it looks incredibly awesome and in block it cover all my human body

If you plan to go full DPS:

Tired of linking it everywhere but I’m even more tired seeing Warrior’s with crap builds everywhere XD (not referring to anyone here, just a general statement)

You could go 30/0/15/10/15 or 30/0/20/0/20 if you want reflection and faster recharge for shield.

shield reflection is not worth it

I know, but kitten meta gs+axe/mace is so boring. Rotations destroying all fun.

Try playing with Guardian Runes. Could be fun/funny.

what’s the problem? you can run axe shield in meta 30/0 build with only 5% dps loss from no dual wielding without having to spec into a useless line
