Guild Wars 2

I realise it might seem odd to some, but to me, having an AOE skill on a single target focused weapon (that gives retaliation, which I personally consider to be more useful in melee), and a single target immobilise on a melee weapon that can cleave seems to be rather strange.

I was wondering if there were others who, like me, thought it would make more sense, or if they would simply think it’d be better if the 2 were switched. Basically, unholy feast would be transfère to the dagger, and dark pact, to the axe.

Best regards,

A curious french guy.

what is odd with these skills is that they’re not a blast finisher.

The aoe imobilize on axe would be awesome.

Why trash axe to improve dagger?

I would prefer to just change imobilize on dagger 3 to criple one target and axe 3 to aoe imobilize. Thats what i meant on my comment above.

Why trash dagger to super buff axe?

dont need someone immobilized to hit someone with axe, and cripple isnt going to help dagger as much as the immob.

No thanks. I’ve sentenced more people to death with dagger #3, in wvw, than any other skill. They’re both perfect as they are.

To give means of escape that we need?

Single target immobilize in a Dagger (melee) it’s ok:
you have to get close to the target to use the AA
Maybe dagger need a life siphon buff like 2 condition transfer with the last pulse

AoE immobilize in Axe (ranged) weapon it’s OP:
you can camp one weapon that have burst and keep foes away from you

What i meant is we put Dark pact on the axe, a single target immobilise for a single target weapon, and Unholy feast on dagger, an AOE cripple and retaliation for a cleaving melee weapon

I know, i was writing to miguelsil.6324

They’re fine as they are: Dagger needs hard CC in order to close the gap to melee the target, while Axe needs soft CC to keep opponents from closing the gap, and currently that’s exactly how they both work. Besides, I wouldn’t want to lose the only AoE aspect that Axe has.

Flip flopping skill effects isn’t balanced either: an AoE immobilize on a 12 second cooldown that corrupts boons and applies Retal would be broken, and a 25 second cooldown that single target cripples and corrupts boons would be garbage.
