Chest Splitter vs Axe Throw

**dironman1** · 03-14-2013, 07:33 PM

Any tips on which to pick? I'm looking for what's better in both PvP and pvm

Cs:
- attack more targets
- interupt charging
- 25% stun vs 25 % dissorientation
- lover cool time

That means 5/5?

I've been playing with both, pull em with axe throw and hit them with a chest splitter

I think they are both AWESOME for pvp, not so much pve

Definitely in PvP but I'm a bit bored of it

No. Knocking back sux. No idea why it is there...
Dunno that u need RIP dmg too... Often when 1 mobs is dead other are close to dead so kinda small useless Kaboom.
3/5?

That's why I was playing with both chest splitter and axe throw 5/5 each. Knockback THEN axe throw him back in to you

If you had to pick between the 2 I would go axe throw, simply because of the chain pull upgrade. You can never be kited with this in your toolkit. The other upgrades for it are nice as well.

To be honest, I think Axe Throw is the scariest skill a Warrior has (coming from a Rogue). The range is incredible, and the pull back is devastating because it usually pulls me back into a charged Windmill.

The problem is that you still need Skyward, HoR (or VB if you prefer) and Windmill, so you have to choose whether you want Chest Splitter or Axe Throw. Personally, I would favor Axe Throw.

Forgot to mention - the new patch increases damage of Axe Throw significantly, and, if upgraded, applies Feeble, making it impossible to Crit with a counter attack.

Cripple lasts 2 secs... Pve cs is 3 sec cooldowm ig spammed preventing 66% of crits axe is 7 sec making it less than 40% effective... Plus x2 cs vs x1 axe throw cs does x2 damage hits aoe(kinda) and stuns so this.is.a.no.brainer....
