you need to take advantage of the second aspect: the ability to not need energy and therefore can do something useful with it like maintained enchants
lifebond/succor/etc

you can throw on a major strength or even go double superior with full health armor, and +30 sword/shield to maximize battlerage length:
16 axe
14 or 15 str
if you do lifebond throw the rest in in prot, lifebond doesnt need alot of prot

-use one enchant and put on 2 casters

battlerage
-1
-2
-3
-4
-5
-enchant-
res

-i know some may disagree but i think axe can be effective too as a battlerage build: dismember-rake-penetrating-executioners-furious/disruptive/second penetrating

now you get to add extra defense and can apply pretty good pressure damage with battlerage and 5 attack skills
