Usage
You should be the one entering the fight at the front to try to get as much of your opponent team's attention as possible to free up your teammates. With providing Vigor you have good access to dodge rolls which also deal damage. Time your to hit an unsuspecting opponent, then preferably triggering and use either or . will refuel your adrenaline via . Note that activating a stance will increase your strike damage by 10% via your relic.
Ratings
This build is actually insane. I don#t even know what to say but this deserves a higher rating then "good"
Maybe I'm inhaling copium but this build actually surprised me, didn't expect offhand Axe or a stance focus to actually be good. Yet the damage is top tier, the sustain is fine, mobility's good and it just feels good to play. Doesn't have an easy time 1v1ing other warrior builds which does drag it down a little, but that's not the build's main focus and it can work well as a teamfight/+1 build up to a certain rating range. Despite the bad cleansing it actually doesn't feel terrible against condi specs and it does have tools for fighting them. Element of surprise is definitely a part of why this works though, nobody respects a meme weapon like offhand Axe to actually do 10k+ AoE damage in 2 seconds followed by 5k Arcing Slice.
I'm trying to find warrior builds for teamfights and this was a good start but not perfect. I'd take rampage, resilient roll and brawler's recovery at the very least or conditions will eat you alive. Maybe even mending but I like the current heal too. With those and a few other tweaks I could perhaps give it a 4 but 5 goes to hammer builds for sure, I've found them to be stronger in teamfights (and that includes 3v3 season).
This build works especially well, because your opponent will underestimate you, since you're 'only' a core warrior. It's all about burst, become invincible, heal up, avoid damage or kite if necessary, until your cooldowns are ready again. Use 'Signet of Rage' as elite skill to unleash your burst with Fury for even more damage.
