Let's see what my opinions on this is.

Hope you liked the criticism. Loving your feedback pages. Zetta 22:03, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Axe Rake has a very long cripple that's really easy to fulfill. Especially if you're using a half-decent axe bar.
 * Cleave is an alright skill. The 1s activation time makes it somewhat decent for a spike. Fairly easy to activate.
 * Critical Chop is still a bit meh, but it's somewhat more usable now, since it's like a free axe attack.
 * Decapitate is now "Holy mother of spike finishers." 1s activation time, +42 damage at 12 Axe, and 22s Bleeding and Deep Wound is pretty damn crazy. A bit OP'd in my opinion.
 * DChop is all right. Nothing special.
 * Evisc is like the little brother of your new Decap. I personally would prefer its old version.
 * I'm a bit ambivalent on Furious Axe. It's a bit more useful, and somewhat better, but kind of seems like an easy way to get 3 free adrenaline. If the adren scaled with Axe Mastery (going to 4 at 13, for example), then I'd love it.
 * Keep Chop is all right. Not something I'd use personally, but it gets you really easy critical hits.
 * Swift Chop adds risk and a nice condition to get Rangers with. I like it.
 * Lacerating Chop is all right, but, as with Axe Rake, that's one long Bleed.
 * Penetrating Chop makes me go "YAY Cracked Armor." Now, I'm going to combine this with Decap for some serious abuse.
 * Triple Chop is OP. You've got two good conditions (Crippled and DW) covered by a sub-par one (Bleeding). Sure, a monk can RC it, but you'll probably still be killing things really quickly with it. It's also bar compression on crack. You've got yourself Rake, Lacerating and Dismember in one skill, sans the damage. Pretty awesome, but I see abuse of this.


 * I'm still had it in mind of scaling the durations of the conditions, i took the set durations of Axe Twist and Axe rake wich both have a set duration of their conditions. Decapitate still makes you lose all adrenaline for it's spiking power and with that costing more than the quite OP Backbreaker (i know thats a hammer elite). Dchop is a bit more AI friendly now, as with Critical Chop and Lacerating Chop, i turned them into skills that benefit from deep wound like Axe Twist and Axe Rake. Eviscerate i had to adjust because of Decapitate a bit and can now be pretty much be seen as the most average elite of Axe Mastery dealing damage and a deep wound at a cost of 6 adrenaline. Triple Chop i took 3 conditions because of the 3 hits, i myself had in mind as first Cripple, Bleeding, Deep wound in that order, altough i might increase it's recharge back to 10 again. I will see if i can balance it out better.Damysticreaper 22:20, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well i added scaling to the skills and gave Decapitate a different drawback wich should gave the similar effect and intention of it to what i now has, still thinking of increasing the adrenaline skills that have a conditional effect with Deep wound from 5 strikes to 6 strikes and increasing energy attack skills with a recharge of 6 to 8 to balance it out better with my Swordsmanship suggestion.Damysticreaper 14:01, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Hmmn... again mostly OP... But i like Axe Rake, Axe Twist, Penetrating Chop... last one is too powerful when used with Body Blow. Triple Chop used with conjure fire/lightning/frost +3 condition and 3 hits is extremely OP... but maybe an option for PvE, but i don't think the like to put in another farm skill... --Kali Shin Shivara 03:37, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * So if i understand it correctly any form of Cracked armor on a war is a taboo just because of Body Blow?
 * I'll see if i can balance Triple Chop a bit better and give it a PvP only version...altough i expected to see a comment on the power of Decapitate instead. Damysticreaper 15:19, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Well i added a Pvp version of Triple Chop, but left Penetrating Chop as it is because it seems like it's Body Blow that needs a change of function instead. Damysticreaper 16:11, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Wich version of Triple Chop would be better for PvP, version 1 or version 2? Damysticreaper 13:14, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
