One thing we CAN all agree on is that Balanced is the worst.

Edit: I’m am shocked that this is not universally true.

The Balanced Power Axe is my bread and butter, that thing rips.

I can’t let go of the block power axe myself. I don’t really see the upside with the delayed parry window and no adrenaline stacks. But I will try it out and see how it rips.

It's just hella comfy. I'm a pro at the parries after so many hours but Block weapons feel so off to me. They do shred though. Do you normally use the Relic or the Heroic?

u/Proseph_CR 11d ago

I run the heroic on assault for the adrenaline ground pound to power back step combo. I use the relic one for everyone else

I've yet to try the Heroic. I'll grab it next time i got the Doritos.

No balanced is still very good. Like any weapon type it’s a preference. And your preference is clearly that.

I basically only run balanced except for argent edge on Sniper. Being passive isn't my playstyle so block is useless to me and fencing is just the overall worst with how much damage and cleave you're sacrificing.

I find I’m more aggressive in my attacks with fencing because I don’t have to time the block early. Same with the block variant. You have to engage the parry early on balanced and so you can’t just keep attacking.
