Idk about this. ive used both shock axe and the dragon slash build... i knda like the dragon slash. Ive only tested it out on the isle of the nameless monks, but it seemed more destructive. with constant dps, you can keep them with bleeding and deep wound , while with an axe, you just do a spike, which if not planned well enguh can be stopped. with the sword, if u get blocked, you can recover quickly. plus, you get 5 adren off dragon slash, powering all your other skills part way, even without FGJ. its like making drag slash only cost 5 adren. that means more spamming damage skills, and less down time.

my 2 cent:

W/ (16 Sword, 11 Str, 9 Tact)
Saver Artery, Gash, Sun and Moon, Dragon Slash, Flail, Rush, To Teh Limit, Rezz + 1 support skill @ choice

Use to Teh Limit to charge fast Rush in order to remove Flail if you must catch up an anemy... Deep Wound, Bleeding and huge DPS.. that's all you need for a Balanced NON-SPIKE based build for any PvP or PvE.
I'll explain better what i mean, this skillbar work really well to finish off enemies with half life or so... try it in a Degen Build or with SF eles support.

W/E (16 Axe, 11 Str, 9 Tact, 2 Air)
Distracting, Eviscerate, Rake, Executioners, Burst, Shock, Rezz + 1 support skill @ choice

Adrenal Spike build. Use Rack in order to cover Deep Wound with Crippling, use Shock as first skill so, when the target is back on his leg, he can't run aways coz of crippling. Executioners to finish it off.

Conclusion:

they are really diffent builds u can t compare them.

However, damage itself is the easiest form of combat 'result' to nullify. [just do dmg reduction enchant and heal it off]

When the warrior swinging at you chops off 100hp for free [deep wound], reduces your healing [deep wound], and knocks you flat on your ass [shock is unblockable yes? ^_^], I think we know where the 'real' power lies...

[solemnly salutes the axe]

/salute...

Shock can be blocked if you use the Paragon skill "Can't Touch This"
