Guild Wars 2

So I am almost done with this beauty, yet I have 1 simple problem. On what character am I going to put it. I really liked the design of the axe being shaped after a dragon’s head and actually breathing making it feel alive. But since legendary’s are somewhat of a hard goal to achieve you want to make sure you actually get to use the thing.

So am here at the moment: I have a Ranger fully geared in ascended etc. I do enjoy ranger to some degree, although it is obvious that ranger is pretty weak at the moment compared to others. That said, Axe on ranger is also one of those weapons you tend to ignore as a whole, is it condition? or pure damage? the auto attack is tediously slow and a pure downscale in dps compared to sword/ shortbow / greatsword.

So should I just put it on my ranger and be happy with it? OR should I level up my warrior to 80, gear him out and then put the legendary on him? Hard choice in my opinion and that is why am asking you guys. What would you guys do?

Ranger? or level my warrior and put it on him? Or go crazy and level my necromancer and go powermancer with axe? ( not my cup of tea so probably not a option)

Thanks in advance.

Currently, given the weak power of Ranger main-hand Axe, I think it would serve you far better on your Warrior. Of course this could change with a future patch (and I suspect it will) that upgrades the direct damage of the Ranger Axe; but even assuming the buff was around 5% to 6% from what it is currently, it would still perform better on the Warrior.

On the other hand, and far more importantly, on which toon does it LOOK better … go with that one! LOL

I’ve found that putting aesthetic items on my most-played characters is the way to go. For example, I got my Arah armor set on my necro, because it fits her better than my ele, but I play my ele more. Well, the set does look amazing on my necro, but now it never gets play.

If you don’t enjoy axe Ranger now, I doubt you’ll start enjoying it for long term play just because you have a cool looking axe.

Good luck =)

Axe MH is great on warrior, with Warhorn/Axe/Mace OH.

Thanks for the replies. It seems that the warrior is the more logical choice right now, like Ision mentioned unless they buff Axe on ranger ( probably won’t happen anytime soon) it is best to just save it for my warrior.
I also have a fully geared Guardian but Guardian can’t use Axe so… yeah. My Guardian is the most played character I have though, it tends to get the most attention as well just because guardian is so strong right now (’’balanced’’?) But I didn’t want to be another Greatsword guardian with sunrise/twilight look at my shiny, it’s so shiny guardian.

necro!

Congrats man

If you’re running ranger mostly in PVE, run sword/horn in one set and sword/axe in the other, switching to horn to fire off #5 and then switching back. Still get the aesthetics of Frostfang and DPS of sword, plus projectile blocking with axe 5.
