    It's either that, or changing the special ability of axes to something besides bleed. Otherwise they will not be used.

    Personally, I think bleed, crits, and all effects should go through block / damage shields. Block and shields should reduce damage, not invalidate status abilities and other effects. I know people will disagree with me, and the status quo does represent a core design element. I just always thought it was stupid.

    bleeds definitly need to punch through bubbles. i mean BLEEDING cant be stopped by a bubble.
    PLEASE REPLY TO ME WITH @dsalter otherwise i'm likely to miss the reply if its not my own thread

    Fight back at the crates and boxes, together we can change things.

    If applied before the bubble is cast they should continue to work after cast, but that would take programming...

    They need a dmg buff in general imo.

    No objections. Sounds good. I used to use dual axes at and after launch on my old Argonian DK but when I brought him back this summer for a time to see how the changes to class/gear/etc changed things I switched to daggers for the more useful crit bonus.

    If shields could be critted as well as not granting dot and bleed immunity, I'm not even sure if they'd need to be reduced in strength so dramatically.

    Crit rush always crits? Damage shield disagrees.

    Axes, bleeds and dots would be great with this change. We could get rid of that terrible Tel Var Stone item set which does 1k damage through damage shields on light attacks only - maybe they refuse to do player friendly quality of life changes so players find terrible sets not as bad?

    Yes I am for that!

    AND Skoria should proc off of dots ticking on shields. Especially if the nerf was not some type of red bull fueled programming accident.
