Some general notes regarding weapon skills:

1: Damage listed in tooltip is based on total damage per skill. Therefore, slow attacks are long channeled attacks will have high damage listed, whereas fast attacks will show low damage in the tooltip.

2: Melee range is constant, despite models and animation. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with melee range and swing arc for your particular character, especially if playing Charr or Asura or using short weapon like daggers.

I forgot to check if tooltips update for weapon damage range, attributes and traits. One more thing to test, I guess.

I'm also pretty sure offhand damage is based on offhand weapon damage range but I didn't test it out.

There isn't a Warrior Stance Skills vid, so i'll put the comment here:

Stances are NOT Boons, which means that they cannot be enhanced with Concentration, nor affected by Boon Removal/Conversion skills. That's probably why they're placed in the Defense Trait Line.

Few more notes:

Skill 1 Chains for melee weapons tend to be a frontal swipe + swipe + single target attack.

But axe isn't like that. All 3 chop skills are sweeps. So what does this mean? It means that axe automatically gets very high frontal AoE DPS vs. groups, especially when combined with Cyclone Axe (awesome skill, btw). AND, since Adrenaline is based on hits and not damage, axe has the highest autoskill Adrenaline gain.

Crazy AoE damage, crazy Adrenaline gain. What's not to like?
