Hey guys so this build is more of a Kill or be Killed type of style but also has a defensive side just by changing a trait line. If you haven’t checked out the link then I’ll just explain how the build works.

The name of the build is pretty obvious, it mainly focuses on critical chance and to achieve that we abuse Signet Mastery which is in the Arms trait line. If you already have full berserker, you should have 45-50% critical chance but you can actually achieve 70-75% critical chance with Signet Mastery and 90-95% with fury. If you’re wondering how, this is actually pretty simple. Signet Mastery can up 5 stacks of precision and we can do that by activating our signets multiple times. For example when you waypoint to WvW, you should activate all 3 signets giving you already 3 stacks of precision. Since Signet of Rage has a cool down of 48 seconds, you can actually activate Healing Signet 3 times since it has a cool down of 16 seconds. That alone can already give you 4 stacks of precision and the 5th one by activating Signet of Rage again.
So when do I do this? You should be able to stack precision while roaming from camp to camp, tower, keep or whatever it is that you’re doing. What probably will get annoying is stacking precision and activating Signets all the time and keeping up with how many stacks of precision you want.

The second thing is bursting as often as you can and landing the hits to take advantage of Berserker’s power and the high crits. But no need to worry since we have Furious, gaining adrenaline is a piece of cake!

Third, is managing conditions. Since we are warriors and are always on sight so invaders can always see how conditions we have. Therefore, Runes of Hoelbrak, Lemongrass[Poultry and Leek soup is way cheaper] and Brawler’s Recovery can help us deal with that. Of course you can always change the food and move to Destruction of the Empowered to deal even more damage.

Last thing is going defensive, switching from Arms to Defense will make a difference.
The difference is less crits but more survivability[depends if you can kill fast enough] and more condition cleansing. Defense: 2-1-2
