biggest reason - bonettis isn't worth a slot of mine, hardly ever up on my builds - don't use a skill or it ends, takes up my stance, takes up adrenaline

I could get into more details but you get the picture

It has its uses, but at least for me I don't need to take a pause with it.
Most things you want to knock out, not hang out with

Zealous handles energy pretty well even with a maintain enchant
Cyclone axe is nice too (or hundred blades if sword guy)

So I could toss back at you, why use bonettis when zealous takes care of energy? Its not a bad defense but for just one example there are a couple spells in the healing line that match well with quickened attack, and that aids adrenaline and zealous and more options so we don't pause for downtime

lets you do stuff like interrupt mobs with your adrenaline...

skill slots are such a premium I'd rather have my zealous axe that feeds off itself in a lot of cases if I need energy, and I'd rather use adrenaline elsewhere

This is a weapon crafter axe from the Forge,added firery halft and +5 grip.

It would do a better job on warrior mobs to be sure (in general mobs armor emulates our class armor per type). Less on ranger mobs though.

You might enjoy W/E with conjure fire for a bit more damage, or maybe you're already using a monk enchant/maintain to get that %

I also bought that axe, not sure I added a haft yet to it though.

All right, crafted this beauty, tested on griffs/minos/trolls

And was disapointed.My conclusion- The firey mod on any max low req Axe-PWNS for farming with the G-V-C-B build,hands down

It really depends on your build, but for newer players I think they are better off with Zealous and +5 Armor. This combo is more forgiving than a Vampiric, and more consistent than Furious or Sundering.
