So... I can't find any Axelords in game to quiz, but I was talking briefly with Inagin about this and decided to give the forums a shot. Anyway. I am trans Axelord/Tracking/Athletics/Forging (with Mallet)/Planar/Resilience and I was thinking I should work on my joke of an offense. With the recent changes to weapon stats and knockdown not stunning anymore, it kind of made me think.

What do Axelords have going for them, really?
What is their mechanic/gimmick/edge?
Is everyone still all about all Klangaxe all the time or are the other options now viable?
How does Axelord mesh with Tracking? Any particular setups I should work on getting down?
Basic tips you want to throw in? (aside from trans Environment, I am working on it...)
Which is more viable as a kill behead or execute?
Pit trap all the time, or does snake trap have its uses? I do not see many people using snake trap... just wondered.

Anything else you would like to throw in would be great. All help is very much appreciated.

I recommend transing Discipline when you get the chance. Several skills therein are helpful, and the higher your skill level in it, the faster the power on your prompt replenishes.

I know when Ruiku was still a BM tracker, he spammed Gust enchants and tackle like a mofo to set off his traps. So you might want to try that.

Edit: Also, you're more likely to land behead on a regular basis than Execution, but Execution is possible.

That sounds like a good idea... Thanks Kante!

I loved being an AL. There is a lot of good RP value to it.

As for actual combat, an AL strength lies in their ability to keep the target off-balance. Gust, tackle, knockdown, etc. Just keep at it. I had three axes, one fast, one with precision, one with strength, and I would vary which I used depending on my target and their wounds.

Stick with it, it will be rewarding.

Thanks much, I appreciate the encouragement Vesar!
