Axe Auto Attack suggestion.
No, it would not be too much. Granted, it all depends on perspective. Would be nice to have a bleed attached to it if the bounce hits a second target, like the cripple on DH longbow auto attack. It would compensate for the bounce reduction as the damage boost was not enough.

It wouldn’t be too much, but I wish Axe was more Power and SB more Condi… Not like ‘’Oh they could do both…’’. Vulnerability would be nice too (Works both for Condi and Power users).
Splitblade needs the Poison Volley treatment.
Winter’s Bite needs the Mind Stab (Mesmer GS 3) treatment (Make it AoE without traiting) and a buff on damage.
It wouldn’t even still make Axe good, just good enough.
I’d rather give it Vuln and make it an even better pet support weapon, personally. But it does need something for sure.
Axe 1 on ranger is fine as it is. If you want the ranger has more damage than now, you must consider other professions as well, balance is not one way to think about.

It has been proven ad nauseam that Ranger has a low DPS, followed by Mesmer as rock bottom.
Don’t pull out the condi SB + A/T that only work in a raid and stationary setting.

Vulnerability would be pretty good for it as it would compliment the hybrid aspect of the might and also potentially add a cover condition.
I’d like axe 1 to be faster as well. Or leave it slow and give it a small chance to strip a boon.
No it wouldnt be op and would give axe a good condi purpose and not this weird thing in between. It would be nice if sword would gain some boon application twp with #3 and swap its #2.

You’re not using Axe auto-attacks at all if you don’t have any other choice anyway.
I can’t see this as anything else but a PvP / Casual content improvement.

What I want for Axe
Add the second bounce back as there was zero reason to remove it in the first place
Winter’s Bite becomes aoe baseline
Change the Trait to “Gain 250 ferocity per equipped axe. Axe auto attack now applies Vulnerability.”
