Theres 2 roaming builds pretty much you can either put 30 in tactics and use a shout based build with soldier runes for condition removal. Or you can put 20 in descipline and get mobile strikes trait and use a greatsword with mending as your heal and shake it off as a utility.

Big part of roaming is mobility, survivability, and the ability to escape, so unless your using a greatsword or have a build that uses a warhorn in your off hand with traits or skills to remove conditions and skills to escape your going to have problems roaming.

Axe offhand is just bad but axe main hand is great. I would suggest to you to use a shield and an axe. You have good damage and survivability that way. Or Axe and Warhorn for the mobility. If your going to be roaming a big part is mobility and escape. A lot of times you are alone and no one is going to be there to help you if you run into a zerg or whatnot so you need to be able to run away. For that You need a GS and bull charge on your bar. Or a sword mainhand warhorn offhand to leap away and speed off.

Since you want to use Axe, either do Axe/shield or Axe/warhorn and use a GS swap out the GS for a rifle when you need to have range. As long as you put atleast 20 points in arms both GS and Rifle traits can be interchanged.

I recommend putting 25 or 30 points in arms instead of 20 in strength because at 25 points your damage is increased by 10% to bleeding foes which is equivalent to any of the 10% weapon specific traits in strength and it affects all weapons that you use. At 5 points of arms you have a 33% chance to cause bleeding at 10 points use deep cuts which makes bleeds last 50% longer to grantee your target is bleeding.

For Strength just do 10 points for berserkers power. Do 20 points in discipline for mobile strikes and weapon swaping is 5 seconds faster, and when you use killshot on your rifle it actually hits hard.

I do 10 points in tactics only for leg specialist, you will get a 1 sec immobilize when ever you use the cripple on your rifle/axe/pr GS which really does help prevent other players from kitting you.

try this.
