Burst skill
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Burst skills are a warrior profession mechanic that expend all built-up adrenaline. Each weapon has one burst skill that improves at three different stages of adrenaline. This improvement can be anything from doing more damage, adding additional conditions, increasing condition duration, or increasing skill duration. The burst skill does not take a skill slot[1] and is automatically chosen according to the two-handed weapon equiped or, in case of dual-wielding, the weapon equipped in the main hand.
