At what Melee skill does Melee Chop becomes 'better' than the UA Punches?

I'm gonna go with never. Punches are just faster and the faster is not delta capped like the UA/Melee power is. Of course punch alone also do fuckall against armor.

Punch on enemy is more like a gentle swipe to clean their armor of stains: 'here you go sir, all clean'

Well I ain't really looking into PvP or anything. Just killing mobs. Wondering is there point in pumping Melee for Chop (Stone axe) or just stick with UA all the way

Well, for killing animals chop 1 shots deer. Your best bet is just to punch to break defense then chop.

OK, what melee level should it be though before it starts getting useful? Also what stats are needed? If you don't mind me asking!

Oh oops, it's soldier swords that 1 shot deer i should of read better. Chop isn't really worth it with a stone axe i don't think.

MC is only useful if you are using a defence that uses the MC skill such as shield up or parry. This will help you defend against punches etc. in pvp combat.
The other reason is that if you punch a animal to low green defence and you want to maximise your damage, increased MC will allow you to hit more damage through their defences. IMO if you are using a stone axe is just isn't worth it and you should leave it at 1, then just chop when there is no green defences.
Good luck.

That's all I needed to hear. Good info all around guys. I'll keep on chopping with my crappy axe at skill 1 one the mobs defences are down

If you can get a sword pure MC is quite viable for hunting due to shield weight. 30 is enough to fight a boar.
