Guild Wars 2

Idea #1:

Disrupting Chop

Strike your foe and daze him for 1 second. If a healing skill is interrupted, that skill is disabled for additional 8 seconds.

Damage, recharge, cast time & after cast, number of cleaved targets pending.

Idea #2:

Penetrating Chop

Strike your foe for heavy damage. Remove "Protection" boon from target foe if present before damage is applied. Unblockable.

Damage, recharge, cast time & after cast, number of cleaved targets pending.

Idea #3:

Furious Chop

Strike your foe and gain 8 strikes of adrenaline. Gain 3 stacks of Might for 8 seconds for every bar of adrenaline present.

Damage, recharge, cast time & after cast, number of cleaved targets pending.

Idea #4:

Savage Chop

Leap at your foe and strike them with your axe (450 range). Gain 5 stacks of Might for 8 seconds if target is hit, 8 seconds of Swiftness if attack missed (evade, block, blind). No secondary effect if no target within range present.

Damage, recharge, casting time & after cast, number of cleaved targets pending.

No. I like having a source of fury other than signet of rage and fgj. It makes for a great combo with axe #5 and allows traits like Rending Strikes to properly function and stack a ton of bleeds/vulnerability.

If leaked patch notes are to be believed, Warriors will have permanent swiftness from crits and permanent fury from immobilize (longbow, cripple —> leg specialist —> immobilize) without Signet of Rage and FGJ even equipped on their bar. Flat 25% movement bonus for melee weapons will also help.

I’m seeking a solution that will make this skill any less useless once the patch hits Live, and hopefully a one that will make OH Axe useful in PvP, not just in PvE or niche WvW builds.

I have no idea why you would pick those traits.

I already have perma-swiftness from my boon duration and lyssa runes. Why on earth would I trait for something that doesn’t fit my build at all?
