Two axes, which has best stats? (Pics) - Guild Wars Forums

Warpy · Sep 02, 2006, 09:37 AM // 09:37

I'd really appreciate some help in deciding which axe is the best overall for stats. I guess the looks comes down to personal taste. but fee free to let me know what you all think

Avarre · Sep 02, 2006, 09:45 AM // 09:45

The top one is better for warriors generally, the bottom better for casters. The bottom (+5e) can also be kept on swap in PvP in case you need a bit more energy for a shock (on ghostly etc).

Pricewise, the Gothic wins from the low req ^^

A Leprechaun · Sep 02, 2006, 09:47 AM // 09:47

yeah i would use top one hands down and you can probably make a bundle selling the bottom one

Haggard · Sep 02, 2006, 05:02 PM // 17:02

Use the top one for general axe-wieldery on your warr (I use something similar but with 3/-1 vampiric and +5 armour - all down to personal preferances), and either save the bottom one for if you use a caster with +20% enchantments, or sell it on.

Sam Stormwind · Sep 02, 2006, 05:10 PM // 17:10

THe one with + 5 energy is probably worst off for u. looking at your skill bar more adrenaline skills. THe top one 15^50 which is pretty sought after me personally wud swap the 10/10 adren for a different mod.

majoho · Sep 02, 2006, 07:37 PM // 19:37

It's all situational - if you like to try out both you should at keep both.

But for your current setup the first seems to be better from that build.

oHcHeese · Sep 02, 2006, 07:57 PM // 19:57

for fighting, I would use the 15^50, but for running I would use the +5 ( and for a caster )

Malice Black · Sep 02, 2006, 08:01 PM // 20:01

if you like using adrenaline builds look into getting a 15/-5

Retribution X · Sep 02, 2006, 08:04 PM // 20:04

Sell them both, And get a better axe.

Get a chaos axe.

*lemming* · Sep 02, 2006, 09:56 PM // 21:56

Sell them both and use collector axes.

Savio · Sep 02, 2006, 10:02 PM // 22:02

Put a vamp mod on the Zodiac, customize it, get an Executioner's Helm, and sell the Gothic.

Quoted for truth.

shadow39365 · Sep 03, 2006, 12:58 AM // 00:58

add a sup Axe rune too as clearly your health is monstrously high, a sup rune would boost your damage a lot.

Savio · Sep 03, 2006, 01:00 AM // 01:00

Oh, I forgot to add: buy a superior vigor with the money from the Gothic.

Retribution X · Sep 03, 2006, 01:06 AM // 01:06

/agree with Savio

But, Personally, I'd sell both, and Get a whatever style you like best.

Warpy · Sep 03, 2006, 02:00 AM // 02:00

Thanks for all your replies. It seems that the favoured is the Zodiac for my build. I guess from a looks perspective I will be buying the tank 15K luxon, so Im after a dark gothic look for my weps too.

I do like the Gemstone Axe, along with a Gloom shield that would look good with the right stats.

Retribution X · Sep 03, 2006, 02:15 AM // 02:15

A Gothic will INVARIABLY be MUCH more expensive than a gemstone axe. So will the Gloom shield.

Gemstone with Gloom might look really cool. GL and HF!

Warpy · Sep 03, 2006, 05:27 AM // 05:27

I find that the Strongroots shield looks great with the leaf effect, but its too small. I am going to bid on a gloom shield. What stats should I be looking for, I can spend 150k max.

Mostly depends on your overall builds, if you use stances[or enchantments] a lot +45 health in stance/while enchanted would be great and perhaps +10 armor vs something.
then again if you don't use stances or enchantments go for a +30 health.

Warpy · Sep 03, 2006, 09:36 AM // 09:36

I don't use stances at all
