I would definatley go icy or even shocking...People that you are attacking are more likley to have armor with +armor vs. fire or earth. Even though thats not common, its still more common than +armor vs cold or shocking.

Icy Blade Axe FTW

you're making the wrong assumption there i'm affraid. extra AL vs earth is probably the least used, as the most popular damage spell for that element is armor ignoring (obsidian flame). Most ele's are either fire, water or air anyway (in GvG).

However, if you want one one elemental axe, and you don't want to skip on conjure builds, shocking would be a good choice, because the air line has shock aswell (killing people with shock is priceless).

Earth defence is by far the least armor used so I'll say go with that (Ebon). If you have Nightfall, you can get Chor's Ax since its pretty easy to find. But theres no Conjure for Earth damage.

For PvE i would just suggest: Use fire in areas like the shiverpeaks, where it's cold and icy where it's warm... Crystal desert, Elona etc.

you realise this has no effect other than you thinking it does right?

on topic: The best elemental axe is whatever axe you want with an elemental mod on it. Find a skin you like, mod it with a firey, icy, shocking, or ebon axe haft and have fun.

Hey dude, don't forget about Whirlwind Attack from NF. You can use any weapon with that skill and hit multiple targets. Granted axes do it better cuz of x3chop and CA.. but you can still get some fun outa swords with 100x + WW + FGJ is pretty fun stuff. As long as you hit 2 targets with 100x (which is a easy thing to do), you can WW immediately after it.

QFT, if you're already specced into the line anyway for conjure, might as well throw in shock. Maybe I'm just biased though, speaking out of my love for shock.

because it would be rediculously imba. look at the rest of the earth line. its build to make a melle character take almost 0 damage. if you throw a damage boost in there nothing would stop earth W/Es

No good Warrior would waste a slot on their bar for an armour spell. They already have the best armour in the game. Of course, I'm talking PvP.

The earth line already has Grasping Earth. Including a Conjure would feel strange and clash with the niche the attribute is filling.

Actually there are just about as many armor bosts in the water line now as in earth. So that argument vs Conjure Earth really doesn't fully fit anymore.

Its unlikely that it would be a war abusing the armor + damage bonus in earth magic anyway. We don't see a massive number of Frigid Armor + Conjure Ice wars dominating any aspect of GW.

When did that arguement EVER fit? But you're exactly right. Armor doesn't accomplish anything, not losing is not winning, killing is winning.

Actually alot of enemies are weak against specific elements. Siege Ice Golems take a ton of a damage from fire. Shoot a fire ball at one.

It only matters depending on which area you're going, unless you need to run a utility skill in that conjure, although conjure should be your utility skill x_x.
