Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I was wondering if our shiny Axe could be re-worked into Support weapon.

Currently it really lacks some idea. It isn’t really a ranged power weapon, doesn’t compete with Dagger in most Power builds, it’s more of a “swap, press 3 & 2” weapon.

Necromancer lacks true support weapon to accompany our Blood Magic and other stuff. Staff has utility role with some means of support, but that’s not enough. We have pretty good off-hands. But MH support weapon would be neat.

So I ask you, Necromancers, do you agree and how could Support Axe look like? Couple things from myself:

1. Unholy Feast is pretty good as it is now. Maybe add that long-awaited Blast Finisher. Let’s keep it.

2. Support Necromancer has to have good Life Force generation.

3. Keep Axe as mid-range weapon, it’s the best range for support.

Ideas?

the axe already applies vulnerability on auto attack, generates a bunch of life force on it’s 2, and converts a boon+applies cripple in an AOE on it’s 3. For all intents and purposes it already accomplishes all that.

I would not mind a blast finisher on axe #3, would help it serve some purpose.
