So I’m trying to make a build that uses Cavalier’s amulet and going for big crits with axe’s eviscerate. I’ve come up with three builds and I was wondering what you think:

  1. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQNBHhNakpjyOLDxKEORD8DUIv9WwcAUAVfyoYLA-TZhAABgt/ACnAgKeCAkXGAgDBAA
    pros) burst skills have 100% crit, great condi cleansing with cleansing iron and quick breathing
    cons) low adrenaline charge rate, hence the berserker stance
    *also im open to changes for the runes

    pros) 30 pts into discipline gives me a lot better burst recharge than option #1, great condi cleanse with cleansing ire and quick breathing
    cons) the only way i can land a 100% crit on eviscerate is through sigil of intelligence, theres a good chance I may not time that properly 100% of the tim
    *open to to change on the runes
  1. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQNAneTjMdU2ZnHGewJagfgCVMYOAKgqXdak7lBA-TZhAABEt/wIPCgKOBAkXGAgjAAA
    pros) by far the most burst with 100% burst skill crit as well as fast adrenaline recharge
    cons) not much in terms of condi cleansing, i try to make up for it with sigils of purity, shake it off, signet of stamina, and runes of melandru, but is that enough?

NOTE: I have not tested any of these builds, this is just pure theorycrafting a bursty warrior. Any input would be great!

I think build #2 is all around the best. Intelligence sigils will get the burst on Eviscerate in for less investment. A couple things I could offer to help improve it though.

  • Swap out Stronger Bowstrings for Leg Specialist. You’ll be able to use Axe Throw (cripple will proc immobilize) to set up your Eviscerate for little investment. Will let you hold onto warhorn instead of needing Shield Bash or Bull’s Charge to set it up. I don’t see many people using that combination either so it’s less predictable.
  • Hoelbrak Runes. Your power is quite low with toughness primary so the more might you can hold onto the better. Plus the -20% duration will work well with Dogged March. Also, maybe swap out smoldering sigil for energy. The extra dodges are always appreciated. And since you’re running Fast Hands one sigil should be ice and the other hydromancy as they’re on 10s cooldowns.
  • Swap out Bull’s Charge for anything. With Throw Axe to set up your Eviscerates you won’t really need it. Perhaps Berserker’s Stance or Signets of Stamina/Dolyak as needed.

Looks like a solid build though. A little light on the power so maybe a sigil of battle on axe (with hoelbrak runes) would help bump you up a bit more. Remember to blast your fire fields with longbow and warhorn.
