Alright, so I was scanning the BB update section, and I noticed the animation of Brave Slash is composed of two slashes and one stab. I have no idea if this point was brought up, apologies if it was, but do this make axe heroes more viable than as of now?

I'm not sure because I think they are going to change the slash/stab dmg % for axe and sword. I think making them all 100%

slashes and stabs are now equal, so no weapon type has the advantage The one with the higher attack (w/ same speed) would win. Because of this, axes are more viable and in some cases better.

the multiplier for axes post bb patch is 1.27 while swords would be 1.29 axes do start off with maybe 2 more att, but are usually slower most of the time. i guess the only GOOD axe is a tarbazin since its speed is already normal, but the smaller multiplier is still there f3. axes always get the shaft T^T. at least they wont be THAT bad after the bb patch~

Oh, I didn't know that. Finally, axes and BWs are useful :D

[quote] Kredrodis : Oh, I didn't know that. Finally, axes and BWs are useful :D [/quote] In a way, BWs are as bad as axes right now. Since paladins are all subject to the slash stab ratio with their attacks (as in, attacks like blast and CB can be calculated as either a slash or stab, ignoring wat u see in the animation) and heros currently have brandish, which forces 1 slash 1 stab. Theoretically, a paladin could do a long series of slashes with a BW, and gain a small boost in their dpm with that. The messed up ratio of dmg on axes make axe brandish do lower dmg with the forced attack patten. On a side note, u tend to see more event weapons out of BW than sword for some reason, and event weaps tend to be faster than normal ones (like, more tubes instead of than umbrellas). Not to mention the fusion mace is like, THE fastest attacking warrior weapon, i think the only one thats naturally "faster" (if your willing to scroll it up well after 2nd job it might be awesome for a while).
