Allow rogues to use Axes

[Serener]

Allow rogues to wield those axes mon >_>

Make it a talent or so if needed

they are quite rare in raids and high level dungeons,but they can make gearing up a bit easier

[Merikkinon]

agreed. i would absolutely love to see that

[Mrkrissatan]

I thought rogues could use axes... +1 this idea

[Merikkinon]

I'd prefer to see them use axes over maces, if there needs to be a 'not all 1H weapons' standard

[Lindzei]

I thought too, +1 !

It was weird idea to make rogues use axes even in retail. The weapon doesn't match rogue character.

But somehow maces do match?

More likely. Non-lethal rogue/thief to knock guards out.. or so.

Then make them use staves

[Merikkinon]

We can do that, too. Thx for the suggestion.

I mean, to be fair, an axe is a lot more versatile than a mace. You can chop with the sharp end, or use the blunt end of the axe blade (Unless it's double-bladed, I guess) and you've got a club. I think if I were a rogue in need of a new weapon, that'd be something I'd factor in. Besides that, I just don't see much difference between a 1-handed axe and a 1-handed mace as far as using them proficiently as a weapon. Like a sword or a dagger you've got slashes and stabs, so they're gonna feel really different to use. But a mace and an axe seem like they would be pretty interchangeable without drastically altering your fighting style.

Good point

Wasn't there an Assassin's Creed part with a Tomahawk wielding person? Because most points you made reminded me of a Tomahawk...

Connor from AC3 used a Tomahawk. He is also the most brutish and least agile main character in all the old non-rpg AC games (before Origins).

[Rajek]

Yeah, having the game image in mind where he kneels over his victim and holding the axe high.
Brutish and non agile - male humans or dwarfs and orcs in general. Muscles all over. Optics wise it would fit.

The axe is slow, heavy and most of the time hardly helps with the stealthy approach which rogues start to rely on since level 2.

Any rogue that chooses to use something other than a dagger will hinder himself greatly due to class core mechanics above all else. Rogues aren't warriors. They are experts on eliminating their designated target swiftly and efficiently. It's their job. That's why they leave thrashing with axes, maces and spears to all those brave iron-clad boys with big clunky toys.

[Jekka]

I assume you mean two-handed maces

Agree.
Those new versions of assassins that come in games wielding axes and such are more warriors than cunning, streetsmart rogues.

What's with fist weapons? Brass knuckles in a dark alley are a thug thing, but looking like X-Mens Wolverine? He is well known for brute force, not for agility...
