Guild Wars 2

I would like to suggest a change of this really good trait, but in my opinion to staight focused.

Actually it’s like this:

Gain ferocity while wielding an axe in either hand. Winter’s bite is now an AoE skill. Axe skills recharge faster.

Ferocity: +250
Number of Targets: 5
Recharge Reduced: 20%
Radius: 240

My suggestion would be:

Gain ferocity while wielding an axe in the off hand. While wielding an axe in the main hand Ricochet inflict bleeding. Winter’s bite is now an AoE skill. Axe skills recharge faster.

Bleeding: 5s
Ferocity: +250
Number of Targets: 5
Recharge Reduced: 20%
Radius: 240

In that case, it fits the power role for off hand axe as well as the condition role for main hand axe (although its stated hydbrid but..hey^^).

Any thoughts?

I disagree with your proposal if you going to remove the 250 ferocity from main-hand axe.

Also I think this will make Axe and SB too similar.

My proposal is Winter’s Bite Aoe effect becomes baseline
Brining Hone Axe doubles the duration of bleed of Split Axe and Increased the damage and chill duration of Winter’s Bite, in addition to the 250 ferocity.

Just Winter’s Bite AoE baseline, please.

Wintersbite should be AoE baseline for QoL. Remove the ferocity aspect. Give axe something like the rev sword trait. Gain precision stacks for every hit while WIELDING an axe. So it doesnt matter which side ou wield an axe and it benefits condition and power builds.

I would like to have the trait make Path of Scars have an ammo mechanic of 2, also.

As long as Winters Bite isn’t AOE baseline, I wouldn’t want to change this trait at all right now.

Would also be better baseline together with ammo on throw torch and crippling talon.
