I do hope the devs give Battle Axe a once over with this proliferation. It's not a bad set, but I think if some adjustments aren't made, it won't hold up against Broadsword or Katana when directly compared to them.

Maybe give Battle Axe and Warmace a power from Mace Master'.
Katana and Broadsword have Parry +Def power why not give Battle Axe and Warmace Shatter Armor heavy damage attack more like Headsplitter damage with a nasty res debuff.

Once you softcap a /sd, the utility of Parry goes away.

Weight training: Because you'll never hear someone lament "If only I were weaker, I could have saved them."
I have a specific concept from my DnD days, that needed to be sword, and I grudgingly did BA. Thinking it would be forever for the Broadsword to be proliferated. I now need to think of a new concept and re-name the toon...
The biggest problem is that SD is soo horrible till you get to lvl 50! I don't know which is worse, getting the BA/SD up to 50 or cathedral of pain with only 1 team.

Is the ability to hit 5 more targets in Cleave vs Head Splitter (Both attacks more likely to be used as single target, rather than as AoE, do to their limited cone size) make up for Broadsword/Katana having Parry/Divine Avalanche?
No, I don't think so.
So, here's to hoping Battle Axe gets a few tweaks sent its way. I won't pretend to know what should be done... but I think something needs to be.

WM > Battle Axe hands down
As for BS/Kat/WM/BA? We don't know the numbers yet. Claws was reduxed for us, maybe BS will be too. Won't know for a short while.
