Default Question.

I'm a warrior primary using an axe, and I would like to know what's a good secondary profession that can boost my damage as high as possible while still retaining the survivability of my warrior primary. this should be for pvp, but I certainly wouldn't mind if it works in pve aswell.

In (organised) PvP the warrior is a low priority target - people shouldn't be targetting you much while you have monks and mesmers standing for exmple, so you don't need much in the way of self preservation. Really, your job is to keep the monks alive while harming the opponent. A monk will love you for throwing a Life Bond on them, or a Balthazar's Aura, for example. If you come under attack count on the monk to heal you. Concentrate on your offense, don't forget to pack a snare. As for profession, anything works really. Monk smiting, necromancer, elementalist all add pretty driectly to damage output, mesmer can as well, but is better for hampering the opponent, Ranger is tougher, but can be used - I'd say it is the least common secondary for a warrior in PvP.

by taking a look at the skills I noticed that the elementalist is the most direct way to add damage. But I'd like to go for something less obvious like necro.
but I really have no idea if I should choose Death Magic, Blood Magic or Curses.
the fairly large number of skills is kind of overwhelming.

K, I think I've figured out a build...lol any help with this will be appreciated.

attributes:
Axe mastery
Strenght
Curses

(Weaken Armor) don't know if I should use this since it has a 3 sec casting time which is rather long and I could be using that time to deal some "hefty" damage.

Barbs (adding to the damage of my axe)

Insidious parasite/spiteful spirit. don't know which one really.

plague touch (spreading negative conditions around both to save my ass and do damage)

penetrating blow (armor penetrating damage)

dismember (foe loses 20% of health)

axe twist (when foe suffers from deep wound this attack hits for 1...16 extra damage)

axe rake (so my opponent doesn't get away)

feel free to comment.
