I have a lvl 20 w/n and have a max axe, but i always hear that standard spike axe warrior builds kick ass, i tried it, but i never do that much dmg, is it b/c i need more strength?

Axxe mastery=15
tactics=11
strenght=8

I'd run 16 axe mastery, although it depends on your build.

The real key is the AL of the target you are facing, and if you crit or not.

With a max axe + customization + 15 % mod + vampiric a critical hit results in 63 damage, add the 42 of the eviscerate with it an you end up at 105 damage vs. 60 AL, strength 10 included is 115 damage on a crit. The average blow would hit for 86 damage vs an AL 60 target. In your case the numbers vvarie a bit, try upping axe mastery to 16 and perhaps add some strength (basic distribution I use most often: 9+1 str, 9+1 tactics, 12+4 weapon amstery).

Also, keep in mind that you can usually count on about 90 damage from deep wound.

cookiemonkie · May 19, 2006, 05:27 AM // 05:27

Deep wound factored in that around 200 dmg in a single strike.

8+1 strength is all you need.

Take 10+1 tactics and grab korean signet, shields up or To The Limit. Or even Watch yourself, I like that skill.

try penetrating blow\eviscerate\executioners. or executioners\eviscerate\pene.

lol see what works better i forget. but the key is the next attack after eviscerate. it will trigger the deepwound.

Warskull · May 19, 2006, 05:46 PM // 17:46

Typically you'll land strikes for 70-80ish damage with eviscerate. This is purely the strike damage. The way deep wound works it also cuts 20% off their HP off the bottom.

Example:
Target is at 450/500 HP
You land an eviscerate for 80 damage
Target drops to 370/500
Deep wound gets applied
Targets hp now drops to 270/400 (bar usually doesn't resize until the next hit.)

However a critical hit with eviscerate can easily exceed 100 damage from the strike.

63 damage is without Vampiric. With Vampiric you'd get an additional 3 lifesteal damage listed separately.

lol Korean Signet.
16 axe, critical hit on 60 AL is where the 112s and stuff you see come from.

ikickedbutt · May 20, 2006, 05:45 AM // 05:45

yeah if your axe has some kind of 15% dmg upgrade, you have 16 axe mastery and ~ 10 strength and you spend a few minutes in that place that PvP characters start and just whack on the AL60 dummies you will eventually get eviscerate and executioner's strike swings of 100+. of course factoring in the fact that eviscerate does deep wound it technically does 100+dmg every time.

AhuraMazda · May 22, 2006, 08:59 AM // 08:59

Well reapplying deep wound does not keep stacking -20% max HP onto the target, so try not mislead too much.

and also remember... Evisc + Exec + Rake (or something) is scary for a monk who's not expecting it =)

show me that monk

But what u should really look after is someone with this combo: Devastating Hammer + Crushing Blow + Heavy Blow (+Irresistible Blow if the monk is still alive). That is much more difficult to heal.

16 axe 10 strentgh,15^50 axe, enemy being a squishy not proted up character.

You can also use Isle of the Nameless for damage fixing.

AhuraMazda · May 23, 2006, 12:53 PM // 12:53

You can get 108 on AL 60 using executioners alone, and a max axe mastery/tactics build.
