W/E Shock axe

W/E Conjure axe

W/E Grasping axe

W/Mo Mending Touch axe

W/D Rending Touch axe

W/A Shadow axe

W/A Disrupting axe

Equipment

 * Use Radiant Insignias on the chest, legs, and two other pieces and a Stonefist Insignia on the remaining piece to raise your energy pool and extend your knockdown.
 * Sundering or Vampiric Axe of Fortitude and an Ebon PvP Axe of Fortitude, a Zealous Axe of Fortitude, a shield with +30 Health and -20% Blind Duration, and a Furious PvP Spear of Fortitude.
 * Runes: Sup Vigor, Minor Strength, Clarity, Restoration, Minor Axe (note: no tactics, the condition-reduction runes are far more valuable).

Usage

 * Upon entering combat, build adrenaline on a target. Spike is either Eviscerate > Executioner's > Agonizing or just Eviscerate > Agonzing/Executioner's.
 * Use Frenzy carefully to gain adrenaline, up your DPS, and to speed up your spikes.
 * Use Rush to reach your target if it is kiting and to cancel frenzy if you come under focused fire.
 * Use Healing Signet to keep your health up and to ease pressure off your monks.
 * Use your ranged weapon to build adrenaline before engaging and whenever you break off fighting.
 * Use your elemental weapon to bypass enemy warriors' extra defense against physical damage.


 * Shock Axe:
 * Use Shock to counter any slow-casting spells, to snare kiters. Be careful not to overexhaust yourself.


 * Conjure Axe:
 * Use your Conjure to up your DPS. Use an elemental axe depending on which Conjure you use.


 * Grasping Axe:
 * Use Grasping Earth to snare targets. Can also be used as a Linebacker snare.


 * Mending Touch Axe:
 * Use Mending Touch to clean yourself from conditions. Mending Touch is used on split-bars. Thus it's not often brought without Healing Signet.


 * Rending Touch Axe:
 * Use Rending Touch to remove enchantments, especially crucial ones as SoD and Spirit Bond.


 * Shadow Axe:
 * Use Death's Charge to deliver a surprice spike to your target. Dark Prison can also be used for the spike, but is more costy.


 * Disrupting Axe:
 * Use Disrupting Dagger to interrupt spells and skills.

Variants

 * Sprint or Enraging Charge can replace Rush.
 * Bull's Strike can be taken out for Protector's Strike.
 * Critical Chop instead of Agonizing.
