Guild Wars 2

Hello! I’m new to GW2, and just finished up my first level 80 warrior. While learning more about the game, I finally came across the trait system, and wanted to run something by you guys.

I love the dps that comes out of the axe/mace combo, but wasn’t too fond of the GS. I wanted to pair up the axe/mace with a ranged weapon and I prefer the damage from the rifle over the bow.

Would this build work? What do you guys think?

For my skills, I’m using:
1. Healing Signet
2. Signet of Fury
3. Shake it Off (can be replaced with banner, if running group, or use Signet of Might, or others, depending on situation).
4. For Great Justice
5. Signet of Rage

For the traits:
Strength:
1. Dual Wielding (for damage increase +5%)
2. Axe Mastery (improves crit damage +150 Ferocity)
3. Berserker’s Power (increase damage +15%)

Arms:
1. Rending Strikes (to increase stacks of vulnerability) or, I could switch this out for Crack Shot (for pierce on rifle)

Discipline
1. Warriors Sprint (I can switch this out later for something else)
2. Sharpened Axes (faster adrenaline build up & skills come off CD faster)
3. Burst Mastery (more damage on Eviscerate +7% & regain adrenaline)

The idea is to kill things, before they kill me.

- Basically, with FGJ always up, and just a few pieces of Berserker’s gear, i’ll have a 50%+ chance of criting, build up my Eviscerate & dump to pump out damage.

- If thing’s get too heated, I can dodge out, and kite use the rifle to slow foes down. The rifle would pump out some more damage and build up my adrenaline, so I can go back in and finish the job.

- I thought of this build because the knockdown on the mace is nice to interrupt things, and the vulnerability stacks help a lot, while I can kite with rifle and pump out damage.

- This build is for general PVE roaming (going after my World Completion) and doing all the heart quests along with killing champions and doing events/champions to get as many traits unlocked as possible without using my SP’s & stacking up on Karma.

What do you guys think? Trash build? Not viable? Stick with the GS?
