My kingdom for a chain axe attack!
Honestly I wanna have the no.1 on the axe be a chain attack to mix up the animations… People complain saying it’s low damage don’t worry about it but honestly the damage isn’t bad dps wise… Combine the 2 numbers and that’s your dps I usually crit 1.2k each hit so 2.4k dps.
I don’t care if they really tack on other conditions or what I just want more variation to the animation.
I suggested something awhile back where the first hit stays the same, the second hit would be the same damage as the first just in 1 hit instead of 2 and inflicting only 1 stack of vulnerability then the 3rd hit would deal 10-15% more damage then the other 2 and gain a small life steal based on conditions on the target.
Anyways what is your wish for the axe auto?
The problem with Axe auto isn’t damage per strike it’s the ungodly amount of time both strikes take to go off.
DPS means damage per second, take that damage and divide it by time, the remaining number will be alot smaller than 2.4k on that double crit.
Attrition – A pretty name for taking longer than anyone else to kill something.
You realize the axe auto attack takes a total of 3/4 second so you get off both by the 1 second mark. There’s also 0 travel time so it’s done instantly.
Most attacks in game are 1/2 to 1 second attacks… The axe auto attack is actually one of the fastest ranged attacks in game due to the instant hit from it. Anyways 2.4k dps is just if I do nothing but crit it’s around 1.2k-2.4k dps averaging around 1.8k even dps after all the math is done…. It’s not terrible for a mid range wep… Like I said though the attack is fast and the entire attack is over in 3/4 of a second…

If you take in the wind-down animation from an axe strike it becomes closer to 1.5 seconds than just 1.

For consecutive axe auto attacks, I get 33 frames on a 30 fps video. Disregarding wind up and down times, it is 1.1 second per two attacks.
It’s harder for me to study wind up and recovery animations, any tips?
poison, axe needs poison
One word, C.L.E.A.V.E.
Give this to the axe and I’m perfectly happy.
It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Pretty much this. I’d happily surrender Axe #2 if the AA cleaved. (Thinking some sort of “God of War”-type animation with the axe..?) Having to rely on insane CD’s on the staff for Power-based AoE just doesn’t … cut it.
It doesn’t need to be a chain, just give it some slight buffs.
