Guild Wars 2

So I’ve recently started a Warrior as a break from my usual all-casters-all-the-time playstyle. This is, at least for now, a purely PvE character, and it’ll be some time before I start taking it through dungeons. Upon reaching level 30, I’m planning for the build to look like this:

Healing Signet
Signet of Might
Signet of Fury
Dolyak Signet
Signet of Rage

0/10/0/0/10
Deep Strike, Signet Mastery

All Honed equipment, with Axe/Axe as primary, and a Greatsword as secondary.

And beyond this, I’m not sure what to do. I know that I eventually want to go for Berzerker’s gear, but I’m not sure what traits I should invest in from here. Also, recommendations for weaponry would be appreciated. The axes are fun, but I’m finding that I virtually never use my secondary, and it feels like I’m just wasting that whole equipment slot right now.

You’re only level 30. Stop thinking so much. Dont use honed gear. You hit like a wet noodle without power, use strong gear.

The meta PVE warrior build is 30/25/0/0/15. Use banner of strength and discipline to increase parties DPS, and FGJ. If there are other warriors (more than likely) take endure pain or balanced stance(whatever is most useful atm.

Meta weapons are GS+Axe/Ma. You only use the GS for 100b, other than that use axe 2 and mace 4 off CD, use mace 5 to interrupt, and use axe autoattack.

Honed gear has power & critical damage. I like it at that low level because you tend to have a lot of precision.

Axe oh isn’t that great at higher levels due to having perma fury already and #5 deals lackluster damage. Take axe oh only if you need help keeping fury up and use axe #5 to build adrenaline.

Might want to think about trading a signet for some condition cleansing. Signet of Stamina if you must. And I’d drop SoM for Banner of Strength for some group support.

Fast hands (15pt discipline) will make weapon swapping to secondary a lot cleaner, you swap for 100b and not waste a lot of time autoattacking with GS. Until then, it might not even be worth swapping for dps increase.

Just keep in mind though, if you’re leveling, travel speed is a big deal too. GS, sword, and WH are great options to improve mobility, while you do your main dps with axe.
