Guild Wars 2

Lots of people aren’t happy with the axe as it currently is on the necromancer. Which is understandable. Many people want to increase its range to 900 or even as high as 1,200. I’m not in that camp to increase its range. I feel the axe should stay at 600 but it should make up for it in its utility and damage. Which it currently doesn’t.

So my proposal is why not make this our dedicated boon corruption weapon? Originally My idea was to give its auto attack a skill chain and I still stand by that. So a couple seemingly small but major changes here could make the axe a really cool and interesting weapon to run.

Skill 1: Make this a 3 attack chain with a half second cast time on each strike. First two strikes would cause vulnerability while the third strike would corrupt a boon. Also, increase is base damage slightly. The mesmer has a boon stripping weapon in the form of the sword and they can get clones to also strip boons for them so why not have a boon corruption auto on necromancer? Its still short range so why not?

Skill 2: Have this skill strike your target, generating Life force but at the same time strike foes at the base of the weapon where you’re spinning the axe. Change it into a whirl finisher.

Skill 3: Maybe slightly reduce its cast time.

I feel that with these changes we could make the axe an interesting and rewarding weapon to use. Any thoughts?

Hi lily.

We actually have 2 current threads both started by me to collect ideas on axe. While we only need one, the original, the 2nd happened by mistame. Great ideas, throw it in the official axe for help thread
