Guild Wars 2

Dear Axe, please dont aggro all of Tyria!

First of all: GREAT game, GREAT community and AWESOME ranger prof!

That said, I wish our axes didn’t hit non-aggroed NPCs. I often find myself suddenly fighting a horde of aggroed moa birds (or other kind of passive but short tempered beasts) when my goal was a completely another target. I love that the axex hit multiple enemies, but for the sake of the almighty, can you please restrict the targets to only already aggroed enemies?

I really enjoy playing as a ranger and yes I know it needs some love to be perfection. It will get there soon.

Keep up the good work Anet!!!

ps. I’m sry if this is a re-post. In my quick forum search, I didn’t find similar thread.

That would be awesome! It would also be great if it didn’t bounce off of critters that just happen to be nearby instead of another enemy.

Adapt overcome consider it easy pulling and drop traps;).

Do get what you said the asura starting area with an axe was hilarious permanent aggro.

I gave up, accepted that it will pull half of the local wildlife and put Sigil of fire on mine to do the job properly. I love the GS for it’s AoE damage arc, but it always, always clips that Moa stood in the way…

Come to think of it, wouldn’t it make sense that the passive critters run when a big pyrotechnical fight breaks out instead of standing passively by wondering why their feathers are on fire?

I sort of laughed at the title and thought for sure this post was going to be about a pet named Axe that liked to run the long way around cliffs when the master only hops up the distance of a ledge, bringing every mob in existence it meets on the way….

I choice the ax as my second weapon choice and figured I’ll used it alot because SB so ****** up. But you are 110% right .You seem to turn a 3 mob fight into 30 mob because Mr. ax doesn’t care who he hits .Even in a area with all reds you don’t always want to fight all them at one time not the best survival strategy . I love the ax but it just doesn’t play with other .

Even with the “bugs” the Ranger Axe is my favorite weapon in the game. That beeing said it would be great if they fixed the following:

1. It didn’t hit yellow / neutral enemies.
2. It shouldn’t autoattack anything close after using Warhorn#5 (but Im guessing that is a Warhorn bug and happens with Sword MH as well?)

Aha, I love the axe, but it’s always dragging back moas or stags back to me. Still, I’m already built to handle multiple enemies. Shrapnel Mine, Flame Trap, and a River Drake. 20 mobs enter, one charr leaves.

I think it’s a fair exchange for being able to hit multiple enemies at once from distance. It works great for group zerg scenarios in PvE and PvP. I use mine for PvE so I can take as many mobs with enough damage to get loot from as many as I can.

yellow enemies are great exp especially the innocent fuzzy bunny types;).
