Guild Wars 2

Will we get the -20% cd from the trait ^^ Honed axe^^ in the Beastmastery line?
Couse few weeks ago it was showed that cd reduction besides the winter’s bite area effect..

It would be cool and it would bring the axe where it deserves…for a ranger.

Thank you

I posted a similar thing earlier about the OH axe. Currently in the game there is a trait to reduce the offhand by 20% but this is being removed. Dagger/torch and warhorn all are getting new traits to reduce them by 20% but OH axe has not received one.

i really hope that the CDs are either tied to the trait still or that it becomes baseline.

Honed Axes is so bad I wouldn’t take it even when I play dual main hand axe builds. At it’s current state it’s adept worth at best and has nothing for off hand axe or cds. Ferocity is really useless for axe (it would be great for sword), and instead of changing it to a more useful stat (like precision or condi) they could give it a cool mechanic aside from boring stats and include the cooldown reduction for both main and off hand axe. But it seems that with everything Ranger related they run out of creativity.

yeah honed axes is trash. spamming aoe chill.. meh. I don’t think id ever take that over beastly warden. honed axes really needs to be a master trait in its current form. JP and Roy were way too excited about this one, and MDG. these two are probably the least viable GM’s the ranger is getting.

i think it could be worthy when the fero buff would apply to axe OH, rather than mainhand, the CD is noticed again (atleast for OH) and maybe another effect, like idk +1s might on AA or stuff.
