Greatsword versus Axe for PvE DPS

Well, axe winds up on top if and this is a big if – you don’t count in the greatsword traits. With said traits, greatsword is better. Personally I run with a GS mainly, but with axe/shield in offhand – which works out rather well.

I disagree with people saying BS builds are bad in PvE. It’s what you make of it and I’d honestly say that thieves have just as good (if not better) sustained DPS as guardians and absolutely dominating them when it comes to burst. The only difference is that a guardian can take a hit with more ease and that you actually need to watch out for even regular melee strikes as a thief.

The main issue is ranged, imo. Shortbow is good and all if you go condition damage, but pistols are the go to for straight out damage and they’re sort of “meh”. Good for ripping off stacks of defiant however, or supporting your team in melee with the black powder – less good at keeping you interested when you’re forced to be ranged DPS, however. :P

I’d like a gnarled old branch shaped like an arm for a scepter, and in its hand would be a green jewel that shone with an otherwordly glow. As for special effects… Everytime you hit an enemy with an attack – spirits would start circling them or something.

Not everyone's a hero, what did your Sylvari dream?

Raynil, Necromancer.

In his dream, he followed a song of silence through moonlit fields, dark forests and misty mountains. He met all kinds of people, but all just as faceless. He stared down the dangers of the world, unfazed. As his dream begins to fade away, he turns his eyes towards the sky and gazes at the moon longingly. The song stops and he wakes up with a start.
