Axes can also inflict melee damage debuffs and power blocks, giving them versatility in any fight. Disadvantages Though it offers two damage types, piercing and slashing damage are often highly resisted. Axes lack a stun, so they will not be able to interrupt an enemy's spell cast or give themselves a window to bypass Passive Defense. Axe powers do not include a snare, so they may find it hard to chase after their target. Axes lack an attack rating debuff, making them a poor choice for defense-based wielders.
