Guild Wars 2

For spvp that is. Please.

You mean offhand or what?

offhand is still trash but the damage on Axe#5 is not terrible – every other OH is better though sadly

Mainhand axe is still good just harder to use with the adrenaline change – a well timed eviscerate is a game changer

I mean mainhand, the whole skillset is just bad and it’s too dependable on eviscerate.

ok.
ill convince you by dueling
you can use anything which you don’t consider to be kitten

cool, added you.

Still not convinced.

Axe main hand is pretty poor, the AA can be ok for cleave I guess, that’s about it. But even then it’s nothing great.

Evis is just far too easy to dodge, you’re 99% of the time punished for using it as you will miss and lose all your adrl as long as you aren’t playing against people who are blind.

Well you said that axe is kitten, which i think i just proved it’s not.

if you just want to argue that is it better then sword or not, is other story imo.

but if you really want to say, axe is stronger on point fight and team match imo, it’s auto attack is strong, good cleave on downed body for the lack of CC in both of the builds. mobility is kind of not needed, because in a team setup, they don’t really need you to go decap and reckless dodge.

but personally i don’t think both of these builds are strong (saying that are really similar build) in tq, thats the main reason i don’t really play them.

Axe is a decent weapon. I will agree the Axe #2 is kinda meh but the cripple on the axe isn’t bad, the autoattack is amazingly strong, and of course there is eviscerate.

I think the only thing that was proven was that i lag in NA, but yeah.

.it still proves the point, because if axe is really “kitten” as you said.
you would be owning me even with lag?

well when i can’t dodge a single evisc instead of dodging every evisc, then ofc axe gets usefull. i guess thats an argument on in itself, but if the opponent has decent ping he will dodge every attempt and you will end up wasting all your adren and condi cleanse :/

So now new ground work for the argument.

Axe is kitten as long as eviscerate can’t land.

Got it. Going forward…….

well, same for rifle and people seem to agree that one is bad.

Rifle is bad, Axe on the other hand requires you to count dodges or catch people when the evade frame is about to end with a CC.

For people like Penguin who is clearly new or of low skill level, it just isn’t recommended. Stick to like Hambow or something I dunno.

Convince me to spend my time trying to change your mind about something you’ve already decided on.

Axe, followed by very much not an Axe:

I’m not a huge fan of axe but in wvw roaming it can be pretty fun sometimes. Warning turn the volume down on this clip. I got a little excited and shouted kind of loud.
