sPVP Warr Axe Sh/LB build...Thoughts?
Not a bad build at all! LB-A/s is a wicked weapon set. If I were you I would take out the “For Great Justice” and soldiers runes – you have a high fury uptime from your Signet of Rage anyway and it’s only one condition cleared. Perhaps you could replace those with Beserker’s Stance and runes of divinity instead?
I’d also suggest trying 20/0/20/0/30, for Axe Mastery in the Strength tree, and the minor restore endurance on burst. You can still get cleansing ire in defence, which is vital for the build as it stands. As you will be using signet of rage and signet of fury basically on CD, and dolyak whenever you need stability, the extra precision isn’t that practical.
What I suggest is more common than your build, but a little more effective in my opinion… You often see it run with full beserkers too, but that is personal taste.
Your build is all good, and very formidable with the extra toughness, but perhaps give what I suggest a try and see how it feels!

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve been playing with this today and I eventually substituted the Soldier runes for Dolyak ones but the regen on those is pretty sucky.
Still trying to find a good balance of off/def.
Nobody else has any input?

That´s what i use. Lots of dodges. You could switch out destruction of the empowered for signet mastery though. Although running berserker ammy your survivability is very good. Only downside is that you are not very mobile.
Good for mid fights where you can dish out pretty kitten dmg. AA eviscerate combo if landed and crits =big numbers on your screen.

I like the look of that, too. I’ll give it a shot and let you know how it works out.
Seems like the 20/0/20/0/30 build is pretty popular format
Only good for hotjoin.Sorry.Axe is too low range,too single target focused and no defence at all for being zero mobility spec.

That would be if you went and ran around only wielding an axe and leaving your trait points unspent.
If traited you can have a high vigor uptime. Endure pain, shield stance, zerker stance, cleansing ire, 2 sources of stability via balanced stance and runes of lyssa. I´d say that´s alot for a berserker build. And do note that at the same time you have good AoE damage, good sustain(axe aa is awsome, especially when you have 60% crit and a buttload of power) and good burst dmg.
Fares pretty well in soloqueue.

Does a hambow warrior say " fairs pretty well"? Does a bunker guard.does a spirit ranger,does a mm or terrormancer say “we fair pretty well”? It’s either viable or not viable,op or bad and meh is bad imo.
