Warrior sPvP | Fun Axe/Axe, Longbow | Roamer Axe Burst
Table of Contents
Summary
Bursty. Thats it. It's fairly glassy, but it hits like a truck. It's really kind of fun to play. Wouldn't recommend for serious team comps. But not bad for solo/duo queues.

Trait Details
Great fortitude gives a bit more HP to (kind of) make up for being glass.
Signet Mastery adds a bit of precision, as well as "Unblockable" to help with those pesky Guardians.
Vengeful Return or Warriors sprint are both good choices. I picked VR to be able to get back up in a fight and keep going over the increase in movement.
Unsuspecting Foe is more situational, but the best of the options.
Destruction of the Empowered and a bit of damage.
The key traits are Axe Mastery, Burst Precision, and Burst Mastery. These allow to gain 1+ bar of Adrenaline when using Eviscerate. Generally you can easily have full Adrenaline back up well before the Eviscerate CD to basically be able to spam it.

V. Basic Gameplay
Use Eviscerate and don't die. I basically AA, and use skills when appropriate. Axe 3 is helpful when they are trying to get away. Axe 2 helps add a bit of Vulnerability as well as gain a bit of adrenaline. I try to save Axe 5 for a finisher. Works great in fire fields if you can.
Building Adrenaline is fairly easy, so do what you can, and burst them down. Eviscerate hits really hard, and generally caused most people to try to disengage. Thats where the cripple, immobilize and knockdown come in handy.
