Maybe battleaxe chop might become an hybrid like massive chop? Or dies that tilt thebalance of radiactive pulse in the attacked favor too much?
'Tis true that not-blocking-while-in-hand is another effect, separate and apart from the attack. Hybrid makes more sense. But then, we've already seen NEB get handicap stripped from it (pre-release) for fear of radiation...
