Dual Wield--1H Axes no Longer Viable?

Why are dual wield set-ups now two daggers instead of the 1H axe & dagger combination?

    Axes no longer have a chance to proc a bleed. With Crit nerfed on many sets the extra crit from daggers became even more valuable for many DPS builds.

    Worth noting that trials meta may be daggers, but in small-group or solo play you may still get more from other weapons. Maces if you are below the penetration cap, or even still axes if you are building into the mechanical acuity set.
    #1 tip (Re)check your graphics settings periodically - especially resolution.

    Thank you for that helpful information!

    Why would they get rid of that bleed proc. Maybe they should move people from the nerf and destroy department to the bug fixing department.
