Talk:Gale Axe

Moved Opinion
- Analysis
- Another weaker WS, this one also does the same damage as a normal attack but chokes the mob. Choke lowers the target's vitality making them take more damage from attacks and also deals damage over time. Since it stacks with dia, its another way to lower a mobs defense for a short time. The duration of the choke seems disapointingly short, and its not a big damage boost.

Exceptionally good on Beastmaster
I always hated this WS until I started leveling Beastmaster. With the new Signet not taking your TP away on resting, I've been able to make DC pets take on T prey by stacking Gale Axe and Dia together. The added bonus here is Gale Axe doesn't do huge damage directly, but instead, over time––thus allowing your pet to logically keep aggro better than using Raging Axe.
This is a severely underrated Weapon Skill, much like Shield Break––simply because it doesn't do huge, immediate, direct damage.Valesti Leviathan 00:40, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
