If I may echo the point of everybody else in this thread, Great Axes quite simply don't need any more power, at least, not for the time being. I can understand a buff route vs. nerf route in terms of game balance, but the way you handle the buff route is you start from the least powerful, and then work them up. As it stands right now, Great Axes (and by extension Warriors in general) are far from the least powerful, and should therefore be taking a moment to sit back on their laurels while they're there, not asking for even more.

To be frank, S-E has been taking the buff route for the past five years now, anyway, and only now are we maybe seeing a nerf that many players are already crying foul over (the Critical Hit thing)!
