This is the Battleaxes module of Weapon Tweaks, if you wish to download the full pack, comment on the balance or see the changes for the other weapons click here.
The main issue I found with the battle axe was its usability. The mouse sensitivity reduction during heavy attack's charges didn’t make you feel more “powerful,” but instead you feel weak, so I removed these sensitivity multipliers from heavy attacks.
Another issue was the battle axe’s signature ability. I've had several situations where I almost died because I couldn’t move away from an attacker after activating it. While the signature is active, the game applies a 40% debuff to horizontal movement speed. Since the signature’s damage also slightly pulls enemies closer, this made the situation worse. I reversed this effect and turned it into a buff, allowing better control over positioning after casting the signature ability.
Changes:
• Removed mouse sensitivity multipliers: 0.25 → 1.0 (1.0 means default speed)
• Increased signature horizontal speed multiplier: 0.6 → 1.4 (1.0 means default speed)
