After the recent axe changes, I was curious about the phalanx strength capabilities of axes. However, there is just one trait remaining that sets GS aside from axes for PS capabilities… Empowered Greatsword.

What if arenanet were to change this trait in order to make more PS builds viable.
Example:
Empowered Blades
Gain might on a critical hit with an axe, greatsword or spear. Greatsword and spear skills deal more damage and recharge faster.

This one little change would make dual axes viable as a PS (damage might be too low for meta raids), but the trait keeps the GS/Spear uniqueness to it on the damage and cds.

Now, From a wvw/pvp point of view, axes are at a good spot, so the suggestion I have made here would be best as a pve split skill.

What do you guys think?

Just treat it like Shield Mastery. No need to specify weapons for the might.

I was thinking that, with the elevated position that condi ps is already in, that general change would raise condi ps to the point of only needing 1 per raid group, as the might stacking would be insane
