Guild Wars 2

After the June 25 patch in a little confused about which one is better, or if they have evened them out a little. Didnt MH axe technically receive a buff? Why are people saying that it got nerfed? I know that the last hit of the chain might rarely hit somone in pvp, but In pve it is fine. Also, greatsword got nerfed as far as traits go, while axe received a buff since you can so easily trait for Max efficiency for axe with the 30 points for 15% damage and also get the 15% crit chance while having full adrenaline.
Would somone mind shining some light on this situation for me please?

..what? January? you are 6 month late.

June* hahaha sorry I’m actually posting from my cell phone, excuse me

Wait… 30/10/0/0/30? … am I the only one that actually did 30/20/0/0/20? XD

Anyway, in 30/10/0/30, I believe the axe does more damage, simply because it’s chain skill does more damage, and you don’t have to stun an opponent for some of his moves like hundred blades (hundred blades can be still be useful, mind you, good punishment damage for those that thing it’s a good idea to stand close, or against those that are stuck to the wall ).

However, the trait “forceful greatsword” can give some nice boosts to the greatsword, if you have enough crit chance to use it, and can give great burst damage as an opener or finisher with stun abilities.

Personally, I actually used both axe/axe and greatsword, and with the build that I used, it seems like the axe was the axe had a bit more DPS, but not that noticeable for me to not switch between the two constantly to use both of their stronger skills.
I did notice that it is better to use the chain skill of the MH axe then the greatsword’s to finish someone off.

Edit: I talk about PvP here by the way, I am more casual in PvE, you need to grind for the better stuffs in PvE anyway XD

right now, with my axe mace build i am 30/10/0/0/30 and i really like it because i even get the dual wielding 5% damage boost and a damage boost for having an extra signet. i’m indecisive what GS build i would even use if i were to use it since you can no longer have 12% damage from full adrenaline, 10% damage while enemy is bleeding, 12% crit chance, and the might stacksfrom forceful greatsword at the same time while specced for GS.

Im really thinking axe is the way to go if you want the most damage, unfortunately. im not really sure about it though.

I would have said we could test it out in 1v1 combat, but… I use both axe/axe and greatsword for my GS build in PvP XD
