Well for the warrior right now they have a couple sword only and hammer only stances: Riposte, Deadly Riposte, Dwarven Battle stance, etc. So I think it's only fare if there were at least one axe only stance too.

Berserker Stance, Burst of Aggression, Enraging Charge, Flail ( I use the most with an Axe), Tiger Stance, Warrior's Cunning, Warrior's Endurance...just to name a few...

He means a stance that you can only use while wielding an axe, or a stance that only works with an axe. The stances you listed work with every weapon.

Vilaptca · Nov 16, 2007, 05:36 AM // 05:36

neither of the riposte are stances.

HawkofStorms · Nov 16, 2007, 03:51 PM // 15:51

Yeah... dwarven battle stance is... well the only example (that I can think of).

be nice..very rarely use my warrior any more ( likes the axe builds I did with him...something that is specifically related to axe warriors (stance) would be something nice to see IMO!

just my opinion

peace all

Sorry, I missed the logic behind this suggestion. Why would you want a stance that can only be used by someone holding an axe?

I think there are enough stances to choose from. The only real weapon specific one is Dwarven Battle Stance, and that one is understandable.

Try using Battle Rage or Warriors Endurance as your stance. I think you'll find they both work very well for axe users depending on your build.

rippstes - swrds only
DBS - hammer only

Let's put it this way.

Swords are mostly fast - attacking, good damage condition adding skills.

hammers are slow attacking, great damage, KD skills

Axe is medium attacking, great damage, +condition + multiple targets skills.

I see no real reason why it would need a stance, when most stances are worthless in builds such as dwarven battle stance, and there are plenty of stances in tactics and strength.

It's time for "Name that Error!"

Axes and Swords attack at the same speed.
Thought you should know that. 1.33 if I'm correct

I don't see a skill that'll fit for an axe only skill.
You're going to have to throw out an idea for more agreements/disagreements.

Stance. For 8 seconds you attack 33% faster while weilding an axe, but take double damage. 5 energy cost and 4 second recharge.

Since the Hammer Stance is attributed to Strength, and the Sword 'stances' (which are skills, not stances) are attributed to Tactics, lets make this one No Attribute.

That should be enough to pacify the request. It can be used by only Axes, which is all they actually asked for. I have a feeling it wouldn't greatly imbalance the game either.

Actually frenzy makes you attack twice as fast, not 33% faster, which is the point of using it over many other skills.

Anyway, try to keep snide comments away about using other stances that already exist.

arcanemacabre · Nov 17, 2007, 08:32 AM // 08:32

How about:
Executioner's Stance: (Axe Mastery) 5e 30r - Stance. For 5...15 seconds and while wielding an Axe, you attack 20% slower, but your attacks cannot be blocked, and deal +1...13 extra damage.

Actually, frenzy makes you attack 33% faster. The end result will be a total of 50% more swings, but that is true for any 33% IAS, not just frenzy.

MisterB · Nov 17, 2007, 08:41 AM // 08:41

Cyclone Stance. Stance. For 0...1...1 seconds, the next time you move while having an axe equipped, you perform a spinning axe attack striking for +4...10...12 damage to all adjacent opponents. 5 Energy, 4 Recharge, Attribute: Axe Mastery

Terrible skill, but I miss my untargeted axe emote! There's really no reason for an axe-specific stance. The existence of hammer and sword-specific skills doesn't count.

Nvm. I was thinking of the old version of frenzy.

I think you're thinking of Frenzy+"IWAY!". None of the IAS skills ever had higher than 33%, but they did have a higher stack (+50% IAS, which is double the normal amounts of hits).

Sword or Axes don't need a stance of their own and DBS is strength.
