Guild Wars 2

Soooo ive been messing around with my engi and warrior and decided to drop torch and try axe. On not the largest of targets in frac, and large target bloomy (havent tried it on anything else yet, only been an hour) Ive dropped LBF1 and the primal version and used Axe 5 and stood on the target. Without max might stacks of vuln I got ticks of 15k burning…. I didnt optimize it at all, I just threw an earth sigil on my legendary axe and turned it viper. Didnt try to find the best rotation or anything, but theres DEF potential in it because of how long a whirl finisher it is

Was considering it and got hype about axe OH finally being considered not-terrible

But realistically after testing the burns last 2s with 100% burn duration and you can’t guarantee having a fire field proc in a party situation which is absolutely terrible if you proc say a light field, so yeah axe OH still sucks.

im not sure about that. Im using it right now and its only sucked when I have a mesmer (though im getting 5k confusion, that still sucks) spamming feedback. Im not camping axe, ive gotten 12-16k burns and went right back to LB and bursted again. I think it works, again I havent worked on the rotation perfectly yet just been trying it on targets of different sizes

Completely get what youre saying about fields though, but im not concerned (as of now, havent brought it in a RAID yet) because of the stupid amout of fire fields both engi and berserker are putting down. Again, im not camping axe, but I think it can be a better alternative than Torch

They really need to change field priority of finishers to always priorities your own fields first…
