Axes need some love - change bleed damage to increased critical damage

Title says it all. I want to see more great axes and hand axes gracing stamina builds of cyrodiil.

We all know bleeds and dots are effectively useless in PvP due to purge, cleanse, cloak and damage shields.

Simplest change I can see to make one weapon line actually used would be to increase the critical damage granted by Axes.

Zos, make this happen.

    This is one of the few really good suggestions I've seen posted. Really great idea imo! GIve axes a better reason to be used! CRITICAL DAMAGE!

    Yup this is a very good idea. Axe was the first and only weapon I used for the first six months I played this game. Seemed like I was the only person in EP using it at times lol. Still have 3 gold vr14 axes in my bank hoping for the day I'd have a good reason to use them again. ZOS! please take notice of this thread :p

    100% this. Axes being bound to bleed damage will forever prevent them from being a viable option in usage compared to the other weapons. Moving them to a good, but not inherently overpowered stat would greatly increase their viability. By giving axes CHD you don't force builds into thinking they need to take it, but instead offer a strong contender for builds that focus more on crit than penetration or flat damage. I am behind this thread in full force.
