Lol you’re funny. Your attempt to portray your opinion as universal is very transparent.
As I said I don’t need to prove anything to you.

I have 610GA crit/crit dmg 605 FURY 300str/200con. I hit 1k on light, 500 on heavy both war and opr. As ga/wh, you become a tank/crowd control after all the nerf they did. Thats why most people left. Devs don’t know how to balance a game lol. VG still no nerf. Good luck
1k really? No idea what’s going on then.
I’m light, 100 con, resilient and get smacked All the time. By the time I try to roll out a second time from a CC I’m dead.
I have 10k health.

You should be criting people for like 2-4k.

First death in OPR, surprise to an axe for 3841 damage. Didn’t record it though. Maybe you could just play the game and see for yourself?

That would have had to be 3 stacks of empower and a honing stone to even get that and most of my stuff dont hit for 3.8K I might be lucky get 3.8k with a keen and vicious axe with 3 stacks of empower(5% per stack for 5 seconds),deaths embrace (10% armour penetration against enemies under 50% health ), Bloodlust (15% empower and 20% haste while looking at an enemy) and a powerful honing stone and thats on a critical hit I might get 3.8K to a person in light armour when I’m in medium at 622GS. Its not the Great axe tree its self that makes it strong its the perks that you can get on the weapons I mean even a rapier can out DPS my Great axe atm due to they can hit me 3 times per my 1 swing, I mean damn you would have to have a BiS axe to be hitting 4K and over and thats usually got thwarting strikes which is 11% extra damage when you have grit, also you have to apply things like resilient which lowers your crit damage to nearly nothing if they have a full resilient set like alot of people in my company have which is like 24% less damage from crits, so either you have 0 resilience on your gear or that great axe has BiS perks
You have made your point. Your numbers are true and trusted. No point discussing this any further. Let’s delete GA based on your credible evidence.
Oh and PS: Other weapons can do that damage (and more) to you in light as well, you realise that, right?

Lol …when I watched the last Devs video and when they sayd the #1 weapon is still hatchet I was like "yea right’’. I’m playing OPR every day and the most players are still using GA/WH. I see 2-3 players who are using hatchets and this is it.You have 15-20 players who are using GA/WH at least on my server and I think this is the same on other servers.Do I need to explain why??? I guess not since Devs are playing GA/WH and they making sure this weapons will be balance good against any other weapons.

Your server is very different from mine…or the one I was on just before it. Most melee have been gone for months now. There’s only a handful on a side often times, and many of those are now running hatchets, spears, and swords. It makes it very hard to take a point because there’s nobody willing to jump in first since the ga/wh meta is over. I’d say on average there are more VG’s in any given OPR I play than great axes. And I just transferred to one of the big servers people are congregating to in my region, and have run 15+ OPR in the last couple days.
And as for the person screaming about a 4k hit from, the only way you’re getting hit for 4k is if you’re getting hit by a heavy attack, and if you’re in light armor getting hit by a GA heavy, lol. I have a 625 great axe and I hit full glass cannon lights for 3k crits, and since the meta on my server is magic, I’m pretty sure I only hit that high because people are likely running elemental resist gems.

I get it, GA want their time in sun to continue.
Its a constant ploy by some GA users, of which there are many obviously, to pretend you’ve been nerfed to the point where it’s just not feasible to play any more.
Irrespective of all the people who continue to play it. You can stop with the pretence, those who are still playing OPR/Wars are all aware of what it is. Funny thing was you begrudgingly admit it was “maybe OP”. I’m sure you thought that at the time as well.

They are the only viable option for a melee build. If you are using light, don’t stand near melee?
I assume you are a range build so you can abuse the dodge to win any fight against melee. If you are melee in light, I don’t know what to tell you…
Hatchet is a shadow of its former self. One out of every two hits totally miss. You pretty much only can kill people who are rooted or slowed.
It’s an average dps weapon that offers some mobility and aoe with high cooldowns. Take the aoe away from it when fighting against range players or another high dps weapon like hatchet or rapier and you get a bad weapon.
I’m very aware that they’re the only viable option for melee. I try not to stand next to them, but they seem drawn to me for some reason.
Have you actually played with the great axe and warhammer? I have, I’m a dex user, I tried GA/WH to see how cheese it is, I brought all 600 gear, resil perks, have fury and a keenly empowered keen great axe.
I should cheese right?
No, I am mechanically shit with the great axe hammer, I can only play well in groups with it where others carry me, people with the exact same builds can beat me at it because they’ve learned how to play it and play it well.
I emplore you to try the build you call OP before using it, because strength GA/WH is very much not OP. I think its fair to say it’s even underpowered. the ONLY time it really shines is in group combat. imo

Yes I’ve played it, and it’s far stronger than a dex build, even with light armour. Of course there no range, but it’s far more forgiving.
Aoe Cc, larger hit area, damage is about the same but easier to hit with.
I just find it very boring.
