This is overall much better with a G.axe for high TP return than dual wielding axes as the ability will only guarantee the next attack from the mainhand a second swing.
G.axe-
For me, I'd rather not use this ability on WS, but instead use it to build TP. The damage input to the WS with this ability is about as much as a regular attack, so unless you're gonna SaTa+WS onto a tank to open light, you should might as well use it as a TP builder.

it's worth gettin for the hell of it but, meh... it wont double your next attack even with a single shot WS. for example say you use a single hit WS and average around 500dmg and an average melee attack is 80-90dmg. warror's charge+WS will only do around 590dmg. so even if u mega buff it out your still only getting an additional 80-90dmg.
only effects the first hit on rampage making rampage 6 hits.
btw has anyone capped this yet? just wondering how many merits you can put on it.

I recently used the 3 merits and got this ability. So far as I can tell, it doesn't seem to be doing squat for me. I'll use Warrior's Charge right before I hit my Rampage macro. I expect it to be about double the damage my Rampages normally do. It's not happening. It will be a little higher than normal, but nowhere near twice the damage. Does it only work on single hit weapon skills? I was thinking that since Rampage is a 5x WS, then maybe the Warrior's Charge is only affecting the first of those 5 hits. Anybody else encountered this problem or have any info on this? Thanks.
looks like your probably right

Notes/Description
Stacks with Weapon Skill, but seems to only affect the first hit of it.
Stacks with Sneak Attack
Stacks with Mighty Strikes
This job ability turns your next melee attack into a Double Attack, just as if the Warrior job trait Double Attack had fired normally.

Just wanted to say that this merit ability doesn't double your next damage. It just makes your next attack a double attack.

It isn't nearly so overpowered... Did you see the reuse? o.O That's about once every five battles. However, War/Thf will be a frickin' /sweet/ combo, with this. Can you imagine a 300% SATAC (Sneak Attack+Trick Attack+(Warrior's) Charge - I'm coining the phrase now ~.^) WS? ._O

you can shorten the cooldown timer- the 2nd meripo used brings it down 2.5 minutes
