Weapon and Skill Details
The weapons are ax sword and the longbow. The ax is the single most offensive weapon in the game and easily crits in the area of 4-9k regularly. I also use the sigil of intelligence on ax for the 100% crits x3. Several people underestimate the auto attack of the ax as well. The final attack is huge damage and cleaves nicely for pets classes and grouped targets.
Most debate comes in with the off hand. I feel the sword OH is the most offensive while still able to stay alive. The block on 5 does quite a bit of damage if it hits and if it does not it blocks ranged attacks for 2 1/4 seconds with only a 15 sec CD. I also use sword 4 as a ranged attack and if possible rip the sword out as it does quite a bit of damage. In my opinion I rank the off hands as sword mace/ shield and almost no circumstance off hand ax.
The longbow is rather self explanatory. Blind incoming damage and maintain fire fields as often as possible for on node attacks and defense. In WvW I change out the longbow for a greatsword for the mobility.
Skills: The skills that I run are healing sig because the heal over time is the most superior heal in game at the moment for warrior. The new move looks alright but the CD is too long. You also get health from Adrenal Health. I run balanced stance for stability and because the CD is shorter even with sig reduction trait. I also like the fact when roaming that I get sprint from it. In straight up team fights the extra toughness on doylak sig would be superior. Do not underestimate the need for stability in PvP although it is nearly worthless in PvE. I switch this to a banner for pve. Next skill for me is enduring pain. I keep this for pve as well. Its a great o shit button when you overestimate your ability or see damage coming in and are out of dodges. Next ability is Signet of Fury. If I am going against a condi heavy team then I will use Beserkers. I like Sig of Fury because of the very short CD and when running the bow it gives on demand fire fields. Final ability is Rage signet because no real reason to run anything else other than banner to pick people up in large fights or PvE.
