Can you nerf the dane axe already?

[little summit]

In the nicest way. This is a skill issue

[ocean mulch]

no, in duel it is ok but in TO it is the most unbalanced bullshit

[ornate estuary]

It's just a pubstomp weapon, feint their counter slash spam into an overhead and watch their 2 brain cells short circuit

[little summit]

Basically. It's also kinda short so it's not that hard to out range or footwork it. Same with exe axe. Big swing kill monke, monke learns overhead, big swing dies

[ocean mulch]

too bad that the hitbox is longer than the end of the weapon

[candid bone]

Eh its been lightly nerfed in the past i feel like its the comfort weapon for the casual player like an M4 or AK in call of duty

[pearl snow]

ironically i see the dane axe proper but damn that fail to counter hit usually goes way way too fast

its like i dont even see it do a animation when he hits back after they counter

[hybrid otter]

Broken? My Dane Axe can't be as fast a PC player's accel with heavy mace or the Maul

[ocean mulch]

Yes, broken. The damage + the speed of that weapon and the extended hitbox when you do a heavy slash

[hybrid otter]

I like it on my end but on other people. Only seems fair on some standards

[austere widget]

A maul? that’s cap

[tulip cypress]

Overheads are a little fast, also Battle Axe should be the weapon to two shot every class right now Dane Axe can do the same with quickness

[buoyant spire]

Make it a 10 stock throwable for skirmisher.

[velvet robin]

i forget, is dane ax unique to the ambusher class and the like

[little summit]

Raider, but yes

[austere widget]

Nerf dane axe when they nerf messer

[velvet robin]

class specific so... i dunno

i guess i dont have a problem with one if the weaker classes having a strong weapon

[snow oracle]

very high damage ✅
extremely fast ✅
very high throwing dmg ✅
decent range with a very deceptively long hitbox ✅
you can literally get two of them in your loadout ✅
almost instant hit counters ✅
chop damage, so good against all classes ✅

anyone who defends this weapon is probably a dane axe main

i don't even know why this weapon exists, it should've been a longer one-handed axe like the dane axe in chivalry 2

[woeful bay]

You can perform very well with Dane with almost zero mechanical knowledge. Its a faceroll weapon that rewards bad play.

[little summit]

It is, however, a playstyle that will get you killed against anyone that does know how to play

[ocean mulch]

in TO it does not matter when they are getting free ripostes

[hybrid otter]

Wel... dumb Playstation can't even let me upload it to the ps app so I can download it

[austere widget]

cope! Nah but for real just get a video with your phone like most pc users do

[little summit]

any gaming pc has shadowplay or AMD's thing

[full fiber]

The hit box also needs to be fix they hitting me for half my health when it’s a yard and a half from my body, if there going to keep the speed then nerf the damage and fix the hit box that simple

[rough robin]

The problem I find with nerfing dane axe is that it's such a popular weapon, especially with new players. It gives them a strong choice very early on and a fighting chance.

If any nerfs were to be proposed I would say maybe the heavy overhead damage could be reduced since 80 is pretty hefty considering how quick it is. But I wouldn't suggest anything more than that

[austere widget]

was more so i joke because they see clips from someone’s phone and everyone will bitch about it in the comments(reddit)

[snow oracle]

what logic is this? keep an overtuned weapon overtuned just so noobs have a chance? loool

[rough robin]

I didn't say that it shouldn't be nerfed, I even suggested a specific nerf 🙂

I just said that it needs to remain at least somewhat in the meta since a lot of people like it and it serves as an introduction to the game to new players

[snow oracle]

it's just way too good for what it is, it shouldn't do such absurd damage with the speed and reach it has

instant counters/overheads

[rough robin]

I agreed with that specifically when I mentioned the 80 damage overhead which mirrors the waraxe heavy overhead and does 10 more base damage than the exe axe one

[fluid idol]

Tune its damage a tiny bit but the thing I have an issue with is its throw, make dane axe a 1 slot item instead of a 2 slot or nerf its throw damage

honestly keep its throw damage, just make it so you can only have 1 instead of 2. That way you really need to commit to throing it

[proud maple]

i dont even use dane axe but im pretty sick of people whining every weapon into getting nerfed

stop trying to play lawyer to make up for your inability to play defense

[vapid night]

i see dane axe in duel and TO. i dont think i have once said "oMg toOoO ooooppppppp NERF!"

longsword does all the same things people are accusing the dane axe of... and youre not wanting it nerfed too

[pearl snow]

Longsword is eh really really over rated, its good but honestly not op, only thing i see on dane is as one eyed said, something small

[vapid night]

exactly, and its the same as the dane axe. people see it as being "op" because of how many people use it or say its good

overall, its just better than average in a few aspects

[frosty estuary]

Get good

[ionic rune]

You have skill issues dealing with this weapon but it is far from being OP.
Very medium reach
Easy to disarm (stamina wears off quick)
Very clear and easy to read animations, so easy to parry, unlike the infamous messer which is unredable especially when you crouch.

Come on don't ask for nerf on everything because you haven't learnt yet how to deal with it.
There are counter measure for everything but archers shooting you during your melee fights.

[ocean mulch]

Dane axe main for sure

[velvet robin]

I agree with jebby you kinda know its coming and most likely coming fast so prepare for it.........

[ocean mulch]

Prepare deez nuts

[ocean mulch]

Prepare deez nuts

[velvet robin]

ok

[ionic rune]

Battle axe. HS sword level 130, Great axe. Dane axe I like it too depending the map, great weapon, don't touch it

[ocean mulch]

I did not ask for your biography

[vapid night]

my tip for figuring out if something is truely overpowered, is to use it yourself.

you'll find that just another good weapon, no different than the longsword/greatsword.

[ocean mulch]

I am level 800, I know how OP that shit is

[ocean mulch]

Longsword compensates for its damage, this shit is fast + has insane amount of damage

I have been playing this game from the beta and a lot of people thats been playing from the start like me know that this weapon became OP, end of the story.

[vapid night]

what im seeing here is that you have an extreme bias. as the base damage of the dane axe, is 50. the longsword is faster, while having a similar base damage, and a very fast 55 stab and more reach on its slashes

you can claim yourself to be the source of factual information all you want, but overall. its all subjective of what is overpowered and what isnt.

most of the community seems to think that the dane axe is just good, not overpowered

[ocean mulch]

does longsword have any plus damage to knights and footmen? No, it does not, this shit has and it is ridicilous

[vapid night]

does it have the reach of a spear? no, it does not. and that reach is ridicilous

youre comparing a chop weapon, to a cut weapon... saying that the chop bonus makes it overpowered

a maul does 90 damage on a LIGHT overhead to a knight. when you compare that to a dane axe, the dane axe doesnt seem very strong in comparison

do you see how im able to claim something due to comparing it so that its in the favor of what my agenda is?

[ocean mulch]

No, those weapons have their cons and pluses, dane axe is fast, big damage bonus, you can get two of them in your loadout, high throwing damage, dane axe has also a good reach, and Maul is much slower than a fucking dane axe, it can do two chops before you can even overhead, spear has a reach but it is weak in 1vx situations

[fluid idol]

Tbh Dane axe is not that powerful, I just disagree with it having high throw damage and being able to carry 2 of them. It should be one or the other.

[vapid night]

yeah, youre showing your extreme bias

youre exaggerating in order to make your point.

the ONLY thing i think should be changed, is the ability to carry 2 of the same weapon

[ocean mulch]

stating the facts

[vapid night]

youre telling me that you can swipe TWICE with a dane axe, before you can land an overhead with a maul..

the claim it to be fact?

[ocean mulch]

yeah you can, little bit of skill is needed

[vapid night]

then you cant ignore the skill aspect from the mauls side too, accel your maul hit and its faster than youre giving it credit to.

[ocean mulch]

I am talking about the back swing

not accels

[vapid night]

youre still trying to tell me, that you can slash twice. before you can land an overhead with a maul

and that is just false

[ocean mulch]

yes it is possible

[vapid night]

if you do an extreme drag on the maul, on a heavy.. and accel the dane axe

which can be true for the longsword too
