    Dreaded is right on, however with the higher level characters having a hard time finding a good axe, ask urself. Why? Hammers, Poles, and some swords, are much easier to find up to end Game!

    And the answer is simple... because u kind of need Axes to be versatile... as well as at least 1 1vs1 weapon of course....

    The build?

    Pure Axe (not advisable): 6STR/1DEX/3VIT
    Pole/Axe: 6STR/2DEX/2VIT
    Sword/Axe: 6STR/3DEX/1VIT
    Fist/Axe (called the all weapon path too): 6STR/4DEX (yes, no VIT lol)

    You can modify the VIT on the builds tho and add up on STR and DEX (stats based on weap/armor reqs). That is your choice if you want to customize the build. Or cap it at some point and go for that extra DEX u might want.

    I hope it helps

    Kedth, can I just ask why doing pure Axe path isn't the smart choice?

    My main is a Cleric, and I just recently made a BM - Axe path, and got it to 62. I've asked a few BMs but I've never got a straight answer.

    The best answer I got was "They don't hold aggro". Is that it? Or is there more..?
    Please, call me Kiyo. b:thanks

    axes are a spike weapon they can deal massive damage but its completly random and they have a sloooooow normal attack

    in short axes are bad for holding because their dps is ****
    Gifs are hard to make work here

    Yes mainly that's the problem... You are a Beast at AoE but that's it... You cant hold aggro at all in Bosses with another DDs on squad (at all) and Dex based classes eat you alive because u just cant hit them enough... so forget about stunning properly.

    We arent barbs, we don't have Blood Bath to up our accuracy. So i think its a big mistake going pure STR/VIT. Leave that build for barbs.

    I prefer sharding my gear a bit to gain that missing HP than being less versatile and missing hits that can be fatal.

    That's only my opinion tho.
