The current ritual of using the dragon battleaxe and leng is a long, tedious process that's repeatedly done at War's adrenaline crystal to make the most out of the melee style; However, it leads to a quickly irritating delay in starting instances repeatedly.
My proposed solutions to this issue are:
1. Remove the adren cost for the battleaxe or drastically reduce it.
2. Drastically increase the duration of the buff making it unnecessary to recast after every kill
3. Create a new defensive ability for melee to mimic the effect but with the ability to cost no adrenaline outside of combat

My proposed ideas are targeted at the QoL of melee and mitigating annoyances that come with preparing for high end pvm and to resolve an issue unique to melee.

It's an interesting take, but I'd leave a few things for commentary:

- It's a special attack - there is no way it should be free to use . But - I do think the costs should be reduced a fair bit. The costs basically stem from the birth of RS2 - and a lot of specs from that time haven't been deemed as adequate retroactively - just to take a look at the rebalancing of other dragon items a few months ago.
- I do agree it wouldn't hurt anybody if that thing would last longer somehow.
- Short termed self buffs could be an interesting idea, but it really shouldn't be a melee exclusive feature then. More and more varied things could be cool. But certainly not just in the form of you would want to have this special attack available at all times - there's the EoF for that.

I mean as a compromise - they could introduce some kind of buff object (like some rage crystal or so) in the retreat as some higher tiered unlocking milestone - for like 3k boss kills or so. But in there again - why just for melee?
