Axe Twist Axe Twist[edit]

Current:[edit]

5 Adrenaline Axe Attack. Deals +1...16...20 damage and inflicts Weakness condition (20 seconds) if target foe has a Deep Wound.

Proposed:[edit]

5 Energy½ Activation time8 Recharge time Axe Attack. Deals +5...25...30 damage. Deals 50% less damage if target foe is not suffering from a Deep Wound.


This skill fits into the same niche as Agonizing Chop or Protector's Strike: blows stuff up on spikes. It's faster than Agonizing and more unconditional than Prot Strike, but without Achop's added interrupt or Prot Strike's insane pressure potential.


Cleave Cleave[edit]

Current:[edit]

4 Adrenaline Elite Axe Attack. Deals +10...26...30 damage.

Proposed:[edit]

5 Adrenaline1 Activation time Elite Axe Attack. Deals +5...13...15 damge. Inflicts Deep Wound (3...7...8 seconds).


Elite Dismember.


Cyclone Axe Cyclone Axe[edit]

Current:[edit]

5 Energy4 Recharge time Axe Attack. Deals +4...10...12 damage to all foes adjacent to you.

Proposed:[edit]

8 Adrenaline1 Activation time1 Recharge time Axe Attack. Deals +10...26...30 damage to all adjacent foes. Lose your current stance.


Damages or something.


Critical Chop Critical Chop[edit]

Current:[edit]

5 Energy1 Activation time15 Recharge time Axe Attack. Deals +5...17...20 damage. Interrupts an action if you land a critical hit.

Proposed:[edit]

4 Adrenaline½ Activation time4 Recharge time Axe Attack. Interrupts an action. Interruption effect: disables interrupted skill for +3...10...12 seconds if you land a critical hit.


Dchop alternative. The unconditional disable is sacrificed for reactive ability.


Decapitate Decapitate[edit]

Current:[edit]

8 Adrenaline Elite Axe Attack. Deals +5...41...50 damage. Inflicts Deep Wound condition (5...17...20 seconds). Automatic critical hit. You lose all adrenaline and Energy.

Proposed:[edit]

10 Adrenaline Elite Axe Attack. Deals +5...21...25 damage and inflicts Deep Wound (5...21...25 seconds). If target foe is not moving, deals an additional 15...31...35 damage, results in a critical hit, and inflicts Daze (3...7...8 seconds). Lose all Energy.


Inflicts the scariest two conditions in Guild Wars for the low low cost of "Backbreaker and you have no energy".
When this skill goes off, stuff should die without support, end of story.


Dismember Dismember[edit]

Current:[edit]

5 Adrenaline Axe Attack. Inflicts Deep Wound (5...17...20 seconds).

Proposed:[edit]

6 Adrenaline Axe Attack. Inflicts Deep Wound (5...17...20 seconds).


A little less spammable.


Disrupting Chop Disrupting Chop[edit]

Current:[edit]

6 Adrenaline Axe Attack. Interrupts an action. Interruption effect: interrupted skill is disabled for +20 seconds.

Proposed:[edit]

6 Adrenaline Axe Attack. Interrupts an action. Interruption effect: interrupted skill is disabled for +5...19...22 seconds.


Because getting dchopped by random hammer wars and assassins is not cool. Also, an indirect nerf to RaO axe.


Eviscerate Eviscerate[edit]

Current:[edit]

8 Adrenaline Elite Axe Attack. Deals +1...25...31 damage and inflicts Deep Wound (5...17...20 seconds).

Proposed:[edit]

6 Adrenaline Elite Axe Attack. Deals +5...25...30 damage and inflicts Deep Wound (5...17...20 seconds). If that foe was already suffering from a Deep Wound, deals an additional 15...43...50 damage.


Straight up buffed to accommodate buffs to protection prayers.
This skill has always been iconic, and should remain such.


Executioner's Strike Executioner's Strike[edit]

Current:[edit]

8 Adrenaline Axe Attack. Deals +10...34...40 damage.

Proposed:[edit]

8 Adrenaline Axe Attack. Deals +10...34...40 damage. Inflicts Deep Wound (3...10...12 seconds) if target foe is below 50% Health.


A small buff that I don't think would change much, other than make spikes harder to save if not preprotted.


Furious Axe Furious Axe[edit]

Current:[edit]

5 Energy6 Recharge time Axe Attack. Deals +5...29...35 damage. Gives you 3 strikes of adrenaline if blocked.

Proposed:[edit]

1 Adrenaline Axe Attack. Deals +2...4...5 damage for each of your fully charged Adrenal skills. Gives 1 strike of adrenaline if it hits.


Spammable damage that doesn't sacrifice adrenaline building; its main drawback is that by the time it does anything awesome, you may have better ways to spend the adrenaline.


Keen Chop Keen Chop[edit]

Current:[edit]

3 Adrenaline Axe Attack. Always a critical hit.

Proposed:[edit]

3 Adrenaline1 Recharge time Axe Attack. Results in a critical hit. Gives 1...2...2 Adrenaline and 1...4...5 Energy. No effect unless target foe has a Deep Wound.


Knee Cutter for axes.

Proposed:[edit]

10 Energy8 Recharge time Axe Attack. Inflicts Deep Wound (3...10...12 seconds).


In most metas, this will be worse than Dismember. However, in the metas characterized with blurred, bsurge, and 4 snares, this becomes a viable option.

5 Adrenaline Axe Attack. Deals +5...17...20 damage. 20% armor penetration.

Proposed:[edit]

7 Adrenaline Axe Attack. Deals +5...13...15 damage. 20% armor penetration. Deals an additional 10...18...20 damage if target foe has a Deep Wound.

Proposed:[edit]

4 Adrenaline Axe Attack. Inflicts Deep Wound (3...10...12 seconds). 20% armor penetration. Disables your other attack skills (6 seconds).


This is like Wearying Strike: awesome pressure value, meh spike value.
