Wow, great change to Brawn. 30 percent faster burst skills combined with removing 3conditions might be the way to go.

Awesome. Seriously, loving it! <3

Gonna’ try Sword/Axe and Axe/Axe + Longbow!

My favorite changes, I think, are in the Discipline traitline. The silly +3% Burst Damage is gone! Warrior’s Sprint got a buff, and so did the Axe in general! The Longbow also got a nice buff with that trait! Overall, I think ANet did a great job making the less common/least used weapons and traitlines more viable. Well done.

The only thing I’m sad about is that they didn’t include the healing skill buffs that were in the leaked notes. :<

Does PVP only means that my axe/axe build still sucks in WvW? If yes then I don’t get it…what comes next, splitting hundred blades damage in PvE and PvP?

Also,

“Whirling Axe: Increased the damage by 50% in PvP only.”

That includes WvW, yes?
