"1. Remove Heavy armours from bds. They have insane hp pool with hp rings and craft armours. Easily reaching 5k+ When in guilds. Some light armours dont have hp on them so if bds want good stuff its either arena set or expensive gear."
Here is not the problem. Bds are supposed to be a tanky class, but less than palas (with shield) .
The damages are problematic in my opinion, and I won't speak about ferocity yet (which is OP)
Indeed, I agree battleaxes are too strong for bds and rogues, in the past we had only swords or daggers.
But GM still gives bds offensive expert skills (counter attack, sonic boom, power of blades).
