What he's saying is that you would be best using a warrior elite skill, such as the very powerful eviscerate.

Also, as a W/Ele you must have [skill]Conjure Flame[/skill]or [skill]Conjure Lightning[/skill]or [skill]Conjure Frost[/skill] on your bar.

Have fun with it, and stick with the warrior's elites.

star burst warriors are a joke players have been telling for awhile. anything that tells you a star burst warrior is a good build is either an idiot or joking.

Sounds like your new to playing a warrior so first thing, read the stickies.
Ok, now then, don't worry about choosing a secondary. As a matter of fact the first couple times you play DON'T USE A SECONDARY AT ALL. Get used to the skills a warrior has himself.
The secondary usually adds very little directly to a warrior, usually just supports his attacks. /E use shock for a snare/interupt, /A hammer warriors use Death Charge for telespikes for example.
Use just warrior skills at first and you will intuitively begin to see skills from other lines that would help you.

Basically you need to look at your secondary as a means to add to or supliment a good warrior build rather than to build around any single secondary skill.

As for Star Burst while the numbers look good at first glance it actually deals less dmg than Triple Chop(both skills are elite Factions skills).

Well the people above have given good advice. But I know where you're coming from when you say you want to have fun, brah. I started out W/E too, and loved using firestorm--10 seconds of stuff falling from the sky! But even I had to stay away from using elementalist elites, you don't have enough energy you'll find.

So yeah, the others' advice will hit you eventually. But early in the game is forgiving, to people trying non-optimal things.

If for some reason you wanted to go E/W with an axe I see star burst as a viable elite skill. Might be fun for a change from MB + RI spam.

Good build w/o the "must have" conjure.
Another common variant of the shock axe build has conjure lightning in it buddy...
And I assumed he was talking mostly about PvE right now, and for that you do want a conjure.

IHMO, for PvE, you really don't want to go shock/conjure - it's more of a PvP setup. For PvP, I would suggest that any one the numerous sword or axe builds in the warrior section here or PvXwiki would be more effective.

Also, PvE generally requires some sort of skill at pulling (generally with a warrior).

Actually, it's not very 'common' at all.
Taking Conjure means you lose another, better skill that does a lot more for you than a damage buff. Of all shockaxe variants, a Conjure guy is the guy I fear the least because he's not doing anything much useful on the side, and SB owns his soul.

Conjure auto-attacks will make you do 60+ damage, thus triggering prot spirit and/or spirit bond. May be better to leave your crits @59 =)

As for OP: Warriors got the best damage from all professions. If you want to keep that damage high, don't use star burst =)

For PvE I suggest some kind of basic Triple Chop setup with some decent tanking, you should experiment to see what you like and should change based on the type of enemies you'll be facing

For PvP, I suggest the conjure Shock W/E for RA/TA, and the non-conjure version for any HA. The added damage is mostly insignificant in HA, and you're better off having a higher strength and disrupting chop. Remember to use a stonefist insignia while using the Shock W/E build!

That's not a good warrior build for dealing damage. I'm not joking, either.
Healing Prayers doesn't deal any damage, oddly enough.

edit: @OP: Starburst Warriors aren't any good either, as everyone else has pointed out. Someone was trying to have some fun at your expense. Read the link in post #7 for PvE; W/E Shock Axe for PvP.

If your talking PvE then War/E is one of the best choices both for effective builds and fun builds.

The conjures are all excellent and some of the other skills can be fun to play around with. Just keep in mind that if your running a "fun" build you may be forced to use hench/heros as people tend to prefer everyone in a party run an optimal build.

For some fun I have run a Meteor Shower war using an axe with all adren skills + glyph essence and Meteor shower. You can also try some PBAoE skills like Flame Burst when fighting ice golems, or Frozen Burst vs tengu(they like to chase casters). You may also note that bringing spells on your war will draw the attention of the AI and you might see Backfire cast on you
Note* these are just fun builds and not really as effective as a good war build.

If its a PvE warrior, then the highest damage build would be

Zealous Axe +

[skill]Triple Chop[/skill][skill]Cyclone Axe[/skill][skill]Executioner's Strike[/skill][skill]Dismember[/skill]

Add an inscreased attack speed stance, agro first and redistribute the joy and happiness to mindless mobs that sorround you
