Which axe do you use for running this build? Zealous?

[TyrisAscendant]

@symbyer I tend to use my Vamp and Elemental axes most of the time to maximise my damage output. I use my zealous if I start getting energy problems.

Another quick question I have (the more I try and learn this on an axe warrior the more my respect for warriors increases) I am finding using the number keys difficult to use for skill activation, but I will get used to it, but does this mean you have to click to move everywhere? or is there a happy medium? (Cause I have to admit when I sin you can q step by using the asdw movement keys and it does not rubber band :P)

[TyrisAscendant]

@xMadSkillzx I use wasd for general running around in the world and click to move for fine control like qstepping and positioning myself for bulls strikes. The only time I tend to use click to move all the time is when I'm running relics etc in HA to try and avoid rubber bands etc.

@xMadSkillzx With axe 14 axe 13 str, with hammer 13 hammer 14 str are the favoured attributes. The only reasons I can think of to run executioners are you either want the extra 2 damage or they specced heavy air magic for a more powerful shock/conjure. Also they may just be using it a spike follow through for evic which is 8 adrenaline anyways. Bblow generally sees more play since its cheaper on adrenaline and if u have an air ele with shell shock u will have 2 sources of Deepwound.

@worgenzwithm14z If you start playing new characters after you hit level 20, you are playing Guild Wars wrong.

GREAT Q KNOCKIMG DUDE!

[worgenzwithm14z]

I'm thinking about leveling a warrior now that my r/ele is 20. I hate how there isn't 2h swords or axes >.< All well its still prepping for gw2!

[EpicMultiFailure]

@alsuisthebest Good question xD!

i have a level 20 warrior assasin and ranger ,

So yeah Which is the best xD!

@TheMacplayer its a strong skill, but you will have to use it as your last skill, because you lose all your adren and nrg. But DW cant kill you by itself, you will need to do another att after decap to trigger the DW, so it lowers your spike speed alot; Also losing all energy is bad because you want energy for bulls strike and shock/frenzy/dshot, w/e you brought that costs energy. this makes eviscerate a better choice. If you do bring decap, take a -5 energy axe and swap to that when you use it

[BuckeyeNPJ]

i just wanted to let u know that i am eternally greatful for u!!! this helped me out a bunch cuz i am noob!!! haha thanks again :)

[TheMacplayer]

what about decapitate?

[xMadSkillzx]

@TyrisAscendant

Thank you for your patience :P I don't think they were using a conjure, but Yeah if running 14 axe mastery is more favorable then executioner's axe will hit for more damage than body blow. :P

I have been using a hammer warrior in FA for the first time (after practicing of course) really very funny. I think seeing all those shit defy pain warriors made me dislike warriors but playing them GvG style is difficult, effective and rewarding :P I look forward to your sword guide.
