Personally, I think Axelord sucks. The reason is because while it has a few good afflictions, they are very limb specific. As a result, if someone focuses on stancing legs and parrying head - you just can't do a whole lot else. The best warrior specializations, in my opinion, are those that have nice afflictions all over so you can bounce around as necessary to build wounding.

If I were going to go warrior, I'd take BM or BC. BM has a lot of potential now that rend has a chance to deliver a poison because pin leg + pin leg + rend + rend = 4 possible venoms. Pin leg is also sexy sexy sexy in group and it stacks with itself such that multiple BMs = multiple pin legs.

Bonecrusher is damn good too though.


Yes, therein lies the problem. All of them sound interesting to me to a certain extent and I am known to be a very indecisive person.

One thing to keep in mind is that AL only requires you to get 1 good weapon where BM and BC mean trying to get 2. >_>

I think BM is the most fun to play with. BC's try to whore knockdown, PB are not as interesting, and AL has been known to suck. That being said, I'd love to see some more ALs, simply because I like the idea.

According to Tervic, it is also 2.2x harder to do so.

I think axe lord would be fun just because of the concept, not for any practicle reason. I like the idea of getting to be an axe murderer.

However, bards can make people's heads explode which is pretty cool. I mean it's one thing to remove a head but it's another thing to turn it into splattering goo.

Beast web + knockdown = 7 seconds of prone. Axelords (and warriors in general) really have no issued getting around parry and stance these days.

Axelord is tied for first or a very close second. It fails miserably against balancing, though, as it has no hindering outside of the big stun tied to sprawling or a jab to the head, which is typically guarded. It boasts the most useful of the Trans weapon skills.
