Guild Wars 2

Random New Weapon Idea

Greataxe
1. Gash, Rend, Dismember: Gash/Rend: Damage and randomly apply Bleed 10s, or Cripple 2s. Dismember: Heavy Damage, Blast Finisher 50%. CT 1/2, 1/2, 3/4

2. Assault: Leap at target foe, bashing it with the hilt of your Greataxe and stunning it for 1 second, range 600, CD 14. Leap Finisher.

3. Broad Sweep: Damage, and knockback, all foes in a cone, Range 300, CT 3/4, CD 8

4. Split the Ranks: Evade and leaps to target location, inflicting AoE damage and fear 2s to all enemies within the radius, Range 600, CD 20. Leap Finisher.

5. Devastate: Damage and Launch all foes in a short cone in front of you. CD 25

F1: Ancient Destruction: Gain stability 3s, and perform 6 devastatingly powerful whirling strikes hitting all foes (up to 5) in a radius. Each hit causes immobilize for 1/2. Channeled 3 Seconds (one strike every 1/2), can move while channeling, and Damage increases with Adrenal level. Whirl Finisher.

Trait: Greataxe Mastery: 20% CD, each bleed on your opponent counts as a stack of vulnerability, increasing by 1% the damage your greataxe inflicts.

Discuss!

I think the F1 should be a difficult-to-land 1 hit kill. An execute skill. Maybe a rooted 4s cast time.

Keep dreaming bru.

Nah, make the f1 as useful as the greatsword f1. Something like 2 second channel, does less damage than if you had autoed, and applies 1 bleed.

Yah this weapon seems extremely op. All 5 of its skills are cc. Its a Great axe it should be low mobility but extremely high damage.

Oh wait thats WoW

Would love a 2h Axe tho at some point!

To hell with RNG.

I’d love a slow hammer-like weapon that focuses on large, devastating strikes as opposed to CC. You can still move while hitting, but all strikes are telegraphed.

It might have an a-la Darius pull move for some soft CC. Maybe something like this:

1. Half-Moon/Full Moon/Eclipse – Auto-attack with high raw damage and no special effects.

2. Undertow. Use your axe blade to hook enemies in a cone in front of you and pull them to yourself. Applies 3s. of Cripple. Moderate range (400?)

3. Execute. Raise your axe and slam it into your foe with force. Long cast time, high damage.

4. Barbarian’s Fury. Sweep your axe in front of yourself, damaging all enemies in a cone in front of you. The less health you have the more damage the attack deals. Long cast time, moderate to high damage.

5. Trample. Charge your enemy, knocking them off their feet and dragging them for the full distance of the charge. Some mobility, CC and peeling ability.

Burst: Onslaught. Buff that lasts 4/6/8 seconds. All cast times and weapon ability cooldowns triggered when under the effect of the buff are reduces by 50%.

Probably OP or doesn’t make sense. Still, a 2H Axe would be something…

You realize, this would make a 2H axe a “noob splitter” with new or inexperienced PvP players not dodging the attacks and getting trucked, while Pro’s and Vet’s will laugh as a 2H Axe warrior struggles to land even a single hit?
