Oh so he was one of those. You'd get tells asking 'are you a fire tank'. If you answered no, you'd never hear a peep from that person again. Very annoying. The burn patch nerf was a happy day for us non flaming folks.
I get it to about 90% damage, decent accuracy and use it for the set bonuses I need. I have 4 Superior Avalanche slotted. I've used the knockdown proc simply because the Battle Axe is knockdown heavy. I'm fine with it not firing as often as others.
Just to confirm the -res proc does apply on the vortex and weakens mobs for the 2nd hit. Did a load of testing in Cimerora. An unexpected extra buff to Battle Axe.
Based on all this can anyone maybe explain why Axe Cyclone rarely procs when I have no recharge slotted? With 3 procs vs a group of 4-6 mobs I only ever seem to get 4 to fire. Or is that what I should expect from a high recharge pbaoe?
Procs hardly ever fire in Axe Cyclone. Not sure why (I have acc. coming out of my ears and no rech. in the power), so you may wish to save some of those slots.
This works with Tank hit points, not sure about other AT's.
Sit in 2 fires while resting. Then have your healer on your 2nd account spamming their most potent heal on auto.
On my main I'm stupidly obsessive. I just finished a respec on it and have been changing and improving it since 2019. Everything has a minimum or a target I must hit. With alts 'good enough' is fine.
