I am a noob warrior and have really only done pvp with mine, but I often read that using axe main and off hand is bad for WvW. Can someone explain why this is the case? I am having a blast with it in pvp. Thanks a bunch!

axe off hand 5 deals 50% less damage outside of pvp, as well as it being a obvious animation and not very dpsy compares to hammer it offer no cc and compare to longbow the aoe

in a zerg fight it means u charge in spinning and get killed instead of u charge in earth shaker (group stun) and get out before u get killed

Life blast should hit twice and have its damage halfed
If Rocket Charge is only 2 leaps then it should look like 2 leaps
True Shot should be cast on the move

BUMMER! Well is it at all viable for roaming solo or small group even?

yep but a axe off hand is to be comparing with mace which offer a 2 second knockdown,sword which give block and a a high damage 4 skill, and a shield which give u 3seconds of awesome+1stun. generally not many people use twin axe anywhere outside of spvp and maybe pve, i use twin axe in pve cause my twin Reaver of the mists is so good

Life blast should hit twice and have its damage halfed

in other words….drop the offhand axe for a shield or mace, until they actually make the offhand skills worth using.

(i’ve not tested myself, but iv’e heard that axe 5 doesn’t even properly apply whirl finishers in combo fields anymore :/)
