I mean ppl pick up 2 big slow weapons so kinda should expect they might have some big issues vs ppl using smaller, faster weapons.
But if you try ss/wg or ga/ss or whatever - you can do stuff you could not before. But they want to have this crazy aoe cc and be able to kill any other build in game. Including other mele, tanks, mages and bows.
I donāt think greataxe has crazy aoe cc. Itās alright at chasing, but not good enough really and if you get caught by a grav well I dunno what to tell you unless your boxed in you can literally just dodge once to get out of it lol. The warhammer is still in a good state as far as utility goes.
You have GW - no other ability in game can setup kills like this one.
You have maelstorm - no other ability can protect you and your group in rang from all range attacks like this one
So its not aoe heavy as WG but have 2 abilities that cant be replaced by any other weapon abilities. They are very strong and very unique.
Gravity well isnāt all that powerful like I said you have to be really bad to be caught in it or already surrounded. Maelstrom to protect you from range is a bad take I would have this removed for almost any other benfit you could think of its only really good functions are the little pull, itās pretty quick damage, and potentially has weaken. The aoe is not very large so you have to basically be in someone to pull them and it roots you. It is very easy to escape and has a long cd for what it does
In 1 vs 1 sure. How you replace it on wars?
Who cares
AoE weapon vs single target weapon. You want to 1v1 then pick a weapon that isnt AoE.
No melee weapon is single target. The greataxe doesnāt have that big of an aoe range with basics it is a small arc capable of hitting a few targets. The aoe skills are between 2.5 to 4 meter radius the other Half of skills are essentially single target with mediocre damage and long cds. It has lower single target dps than the firestaff and that is an aoe weapon as well.
and does firestaff have any utility ?
rends? weaken ?
No ?
got ur answer
greataxe only has weaken, but firestaff should get some sort of utility.
Ga also has, selfheal, haste, several empowerements, roots & fortify ye.
oh and dont forget the best. and all absorbing projectile eater 
not a great argument. You have to take damage while doing your aoes with greataxe. FS gets to do its damage in relative safety, also gets haste and fortify with easier conditions. Getting to absorb projectiles for a ~ half a second every 20 seconds is not very good lol. people keep bringing that up like its so amazing. It is pretty awful I would rather take literally any other thing than that. I would rather have a point to put it in something else more useful. Also I was talking about single target dps being lower with the greataxe than the FS so bringing up empowerments is already encapsulated in that, so is pointless. It actually shows even more why it is an issue. You can also use Ice gauntlet pylon/ Ice storm and continue dpsing with fire staff for even futher dps. If you are talking about the .33 sec root its more of a detriment to have if they have any freedom it ruins your pulls. Gravity well has it but again see above.
10% on light armor > dead skill point
10% haste for 5 sec with 10 sec cd ( which u allready loose 1-2 sec in the burnout animation.
Armor is meaningless to this discussion as its not tied to weapons, so not sure why that matters. the greataxe haste outside of bloodlust (which is pretty easy to outrun or sometimes just doesnāt work when the cursor is on someone and again is meaningless to the point I am making) is not great you need to hit two guys for it to proc to stand around to hit them some more itās not like you can use that to get away or reposition with any sort of ease.
Didnt you know that guy is āthe best spear in the west?ā
You canāt question anything spear related when it comes to this guy.
Yea but some are almost single target. Like rapier or spear autos are not that much aoe attacks. Also skills on this weapons that do dmg are also very much single target.
GA Iād say yes but WH? Iām hitting 4.5k heavies with 200 con on WH. Light attacks are 2-2.5k. Tracking is good too.
Was mostly talking about greataxe but ya greataxe is slow, weak, and has excessively long cds. Warhamer feels decent I think the skills are kind of slow and really easy to dodge
Look, another thread of some PVP beginner who never plays 3v3 Arena (an actually balanced mode) 
To be fair, Spear feels bit overtuned close range.
