i wasn't sure whether to post in this in selling forum or here..but since i'm not officially selling its here....i have this axe..i've had people say its worth a lot more (and a lot less) then i thought it'd be, i'll post the stats and name...

shocking battlepick of fortitude
shocking damage: 6-28 (req 8 axe mastery)
damage +15% while above 50% health
health +28

thank you in advance to the people that reply...reminder i'm looking for the price you guys think its worth..

price checks go here:

and although the axe has nice stats, it's a battlepick. this is probably one of the least desired axe skins. sorry to say, but you'll be lucky to find a buyer. very few people will pay a lot for a battlepick.

....eh well..i wasn't gonna sell it, i just wanted to see what people thought the price was...i'm trying to get enough money together to buy perfect sundering and +30 health..then i'll be damn happy....its only cost me about 7k so far though so doesn't bother me ^^

It is a good axe for a person who doesn't care about aesthetics.

I would swap prefix to vampiric or something more useful...

haha. maybe because it's so common and doesn't look as daunting as some other axes.

personally, it's because if i wield it, i often ask myself this:
"wtf!? what am i going to do with this? am i going to go mining or something!?"

but it's usually a good thing when the skin you like isn't as desired by the public. this means that you can get the weapons for a cheaper price. it all just comes down to personal preference. for example, i particularly like the ram's head hammer skin, which most other people don't. but for pricing, it's all about supply and demand.

so lyra, what do you do with your battlepicks? do you go mining?
=P

just playing.

I like battlepicks because they are piercing damage...i guess i like the sound better than the slashing damage.

Im also a big history buff and piercing weapon vs chainmail/platemail armor is a much more effective weapon than a slashing weapon because it gets in between the cracks and actually hurts the target inside. Stabbing/Piercing weapons are a lot harder to defend against vs a slashing weapon. Stab-proof vests have to defend against not just the initial impact but the maintained "push" behind it. A bulletproof vest will not stop a knife unless its a knifeproof best as well.

anyway...im rambling on...back to my french toast >.>
