Guild Wars 2

So recently i have fought many celestial axe bow warriors at far point 1v1 in spvp, i have never won any fights against them despite this. I run a celestial rifle engi with grenade kit/elixer gun/ tool kit. I have lost fights even when i dodge out of pin down and many eviscerates only to be hit with impale that does more damage than anything i ever seen on a class. Ofc if i get hit by an eviscerate the fight is already over. I also bait out stances but i don’t think this type of builds even need zerker stance to win the fight.

It seems that even if the warrior misses eviscerates, he is still stacking insane amount of might making all his little attacks hurt like crazy. Should i just give up on trying to take the point from one of these warriors or is there a way to beat them?

Try might striping.

Man that spec is pretty insane when mights stacks are up the war can have over 2k power, 1k condi dmg 20+ health and close to 3k armor. Its a very strong build you better off bringing bomb kit over nades and just bait out brzerker and balance stance and try decap it from him rather than kill him.

Hello,

I play celestial Axebow, and the build is strong, not only in duels but also in 1v2. Here what’d I suggest you try in your next fight:

• Don’t stand in the Combustive Shot AoE. This seems pretty obvious, but in PvP the will to decap can lead you into the AoE, which can be devastating. Note that Combustive Shot is at the start of many combos: Arcing Arrow gives the warrior might, and Evisceration gives him a Fire Shield (burning the opponent and getting might when hit).
• Use hard control. The build (usually) has only one stability/breakstun and one block. Once the warrior has used them, he’s vulnerable to control combos. Also, the block may be traited to reflect projectiles – when activated, know that you have 15s before it can be used again.
• Use soft control, like cripple and chilled. These are usually a problem for an axe warrior, since they make the evisceration more difficult to land.
• Prefer physical damage to condition damage. With Berserker’s Stance, Cleansing Ire and Burst Mastery, the warrior has a good condition cleansing mechanism. Unless you’re able to spike conditions right after his burst, you’d be better off using physical damage. Note that you should still use confusion right after the burst, since he’ll have to either hit or get hit to refill his adrenaline, and won’t be able to cleanse right away.
• Don’t hesitate to kite a bit when you’re low on health: the celestial warrior has poor mobility and control, so you can probably reset the fight if needed.
• Cleanse regularly, especially the 5 stacks of torment of the 6 stacks of bleed.

Good luck!
