Guild Wars 2

Longbow seems more like a glitch rather then needing a buff. Axes on the other hand need some love.

Please give us a trait that increases the number of bounces to at least 5. Also remove the 3rd frost skill and just make it a proc chance on our auto attack. Give us a good 3rd skill.

Something like: Power Axe – Throw the axe with such force it knocks back all targets directly in front of you 600 range. Knocks down if hit from the front, dazed if hit from behind.

I’ve been using Axe/Warhorn/Torch and I love it. They are strong 1v1 and even better 1v2 or 1v3

Im using axe for long time as a ranger and Winter’s bite is working great, add a dagger offhand and you can really slow down oponent. Trait for more bounces would be great.

axes are amazing

Please add to our +10% crit damage for axe trait to also give +1 bounce
PS> I miss the 33% we used to have

longbow has uses, but isn’t worth it for the auto attack, use the cooldowns and switch weapons.

also, don’t mess with the 3rd skill, i think it’s the best of the 3… chill + weakness? yes please.

power axe, it honestly looks like you’re trolling, but i don’t think you are.

Axes are viable for Orr farming in large groups, as the can loot-tag multiple enemies.

Trait for extra bounces, or just give one or two more base, definitely.
Replace chill+weakness? Nah, I like it as-is.

Axe damage is ridiculously low compared to shortbow or greatsword.

It’s also not very pleasing to hit stuff with axes in this game. They lack the fast PEW-PEW single target feeling of the shortbow and the slow BAM area damage feeling of the greatword.

It’s just a generic, short-range, slow attack speed, low DPS weapon. I hate it.

Axe 1: Bounces up to three targets. With a precision build this spreads out bleeds on crits like crazy.
Axe 2: Another source of tons of bleeds. At close ranges all axes will hit and apply 5 stacks of bleeds before any crits.
Winters Bite: A Chill and a Weaken in one ability.

The axe is a fantastic weapon. Its single target is not as good as a Short Bows, but moving to it to hit 2/3 and your offhand before moving back to SB is a smart idea. Chill is an AMAZING condition to apply to someone, as anything they use in those three seconds wont be used anytime soon there after!!!
