Utility

Weapon Variants

Rifle its taken as a ranged option, however this specialization suffers heavily at range and this should only be reserved for emergencies, especially since you cannot weapon swap in combat.

Off-hand Pistol - replaces Off-hand Axe for less AoE damage but more single target burst, and higher uptime of Guns and Glory.
Greatsword - replaces Rifle; evasion & mobility, much lower DPS than Mainhand Axe.

Usage

Damage

Using ammo skills will increase your damage done through Fierce as Fire and explosions will increase your ferocity via Guns and Glory.
Dragon Trigger is responsible for the vast majority of your damage, so you should never delay it. By default, you should always try to use Dragon Slash - Force . If your target moves out of range, you can also use Dragon Slash - Boost or Dragon Slash - Reach.
Whirling Axe is the highest damage skill on dual axes, so it takes priority there.

Survivability

Triggerguard & Flicker Step cause you to deal more damage through Fierce as Fire, so you can use them when you know you won't need them for defense. They are your sole defense in Dragon Trigger though, so you might have to keep them.
You heal considerable amounts from Might Makes Right, Mending Might, and Vigorous Shouts.

 ==Overview==
-Power Bladesworn is a very unique specialization to use in open world due to it's restricted mobility, caused by the reliance on {{Skill|Dragon Trigger}}. This iteration supplies itself with permanent {{tooltip|Fury}}, 25 {{tooltip|Might}} for 5 allies as well as large amounts (potentially the largest amounts currently available) of self-healing through the synergies between {{Trait|Forceful Greatsword}}, {{Trait|Might Makes Right}}, {{Trait|Mending Might}} and {{Trait|Phalanx Strength}}. This allows it to be highly survivable in the same gear as the standard PvE DPS build for group content, making it a very convenient option for overall PvE gameplay.

 ===Survivability===
 * {{Tooltip|Triggerguard}}  & {{Tooltip|Flicker Step}} cause you to deal more damage through {{Trait| Fierce as Fire}}, so you can use them when you know you won't need them for defense. They are your sole defense in {{Skill|Dragon Trigger}} though, so you might have to keep them.
-* {{Skill|"To the Limit!"}} is your main source of healing and provides Flow and 50% of your endurance bar, so make use of this whenever needed.
+* You heal considerable amounts from {{Trait|Might Makes Right}}, {{Trait|Mending Might}}, and {{Trait|Vigorous Shouts}}.
-*Greatsword should only be used whenever you know you'll need additional survivability from {{Trait|Forceful Greatsword}} or a short-cooldown evade through {{Skill|Whirlwind Attack}}. Beware: You need to decide this prior to engaging combat, since you cannot weapon swap on Bladesworn in combat.
-* The rotation used for group content with dual axes has higher cleave and is a bit more straightforward to execute than the pistol rotation.
-* Inside of Gunsaber, it uses {{Tooltip|Blooming Fire}} instead of {{Tooltip|Artillery Slash}} or {{Tooltip|Cyclone Trigger}} since that procs {{Trait|Guns and Glory}} thrice.
-* Detailed explanations and a rotation showcase are given down below.
