Hi, ive just bought FoW and I've never used shock axe before. Could someone tell me what runes I need to put on my armour and on what piece. Much appreciated. Thanks.

You could just use a Pvp character instead of wasting cash/money on insignias ext.PLUS it seems as those your unexpeirenced pvp wise so maybe you won't like shock/axe meaning even more that you should roll a pvp character to try shock/axe out first.

Dunno it's preference.

Survivor insignias, sup vigor, axe+1 on axe head, str+1 anywhere, vitae, reduce blind rune.

Stonefist Insignia-increase knockdown.
Maybe attunement and radiant for larger energy pool to deal with exhaustion from shock

Everyone likes shock axe!

Most people run: 4 radiants, 1 stonefist (insignias)
Sup Vigor, Axe+1, Str+1, Cripple, Blind (runes)

for insignia, Stonefist on one of gloves/helm/boots
Radiant on rest. Shockaxe is the one of the few builds that could really use that high energy cap, for dealing with exhaustion.

Rune-wise, go Minor Axe, Minor Strength, Superior Vigor, and Reduce Blind/Weakness. The last rune is up to you - Reduce Cripple or Vitae most likely, as long as you don't waste it on Absorption you're ok.

Um, high energy is useful if you're going to spam the hell out of shock. Vitae is much better for all around.

For a shock axe,

Radiant with a stonefist insignia
Minor Axe, Minor Str, Superior Vigor, Crip rune, blind rune

i think a warrior can handle a superior or major axe mastery considering most teams dont go after warriors and if they frenzy they're dead anyways

The point is that a critical hit at 14 axe mastery does 59(correct me if I'm wrong), which doesn't trigger spirit bond.

or sup and major runes are bad in pvp, not worth the health lost

newbie_of_doom · Apr 02, 2008, 07:49 AM // 07:49

25 Energy is good:P So on all survivor but head chest and legs. Get a stonefist on head and radiant on chest and legs. 1+1 axe, minor str, sup vig, 2x vitea.

Tips to play:

Dont spam shock, just use it for snare/spike. Switch on prot. Try not to overextend too much. Punish enemy team on any position mistakes. Enjoy.

Thanks guys, got some good feedback, gonna go kit up now

LifesRestorer · Apr 03, 2008, 05:54 PM // 17:54

i run radiant chest and legs, stonefist gloves, survivor feet and head.

Divinus Stella · Apr 03, 2008, 06:11 PM // 18:11

Sentinels insignias or dreadnoughts if your not using 13str. and ofc you want stonefist insignia on either your legs or arms.

Radiants is extremely bad and 20AL>>>>>>>>>>>>35HP.

You want minor axe, minor strength, sup vigor, clarity rune (reduced blind) and either sup abs or a vitae.

Orange Milk · Apr 03, 2008, 06:11 PM // 18:11

I don't run radiants and I'm fine, but then I use shock properly too, so yeah.

Pack a second weapon set with a Zealous Axe, swap to it if need be and Frenzy, get yourself back up to the whole 10 enrgy you left after spamming Shock for no reason very quickly.

LifesRestorer · Apr 03, 2008, 06:23 PM // 18:23

yeah saying that i do use shock abit more than i should do...

masta_yoda · Apr 04, 2008, 08:25 AM // 08:25

16 axe
13 str

radiants on leg / chest
stone fist on gloves
sentinels on head / foot

gg

kranius · Apr 04, 2008, 09:02 AM // 09:02

16 axe = epic fail

Only 13 str? why not go for 15, more strength = stronger warrior = good.
