This weapon is about crowd-control. The spinning combos and good reach ensures that surrounding mobs will get equal treatment of good, slashing damage. With the absence of the shield and very similar to the two-handed sword, two-hand axe wielders can take advantage of the Super Armor effect that comes with most of their Skills. The 2H Axe skill tree also shares some of the great 2H Sword battle skills like War Cry, Fierce Rage, and Last Rites. With proper buffs and equipment, wielders of this weapon can quickly work their way through annoying mobs that tend to gang up on your party.
