Description

The Atrox Mk IV Tactical Axe has insanely fast lights and amazing critical potential. The perfect axe, in my opinion, would have 80% Damage, 80% Finesse, 80% Critical Bonus, 80% Penetration, and 60% Mobility for the modifiers. Though more realistically I'd say an axe with 70% or higher in all modifiers except Mobility would be a great axe.

 

When it comes to the Blessings on the axe, I go with Brutal Momentum and Decimator. Decimator feels really good on this weapon because of just how fast you attack. However, Headtaker is a very solid choice as well. So an axe with Brutal Momentum and Headtaker would also excel.


I like to fully invest in Critical Chance and the extra Melee Attack Speed, therefore I spec into Righteous Warrior and Faithful Frenzy. However, if you feel like your crits and swing speed are more than good enough, I'd recommend putting points towards Swift Certainty instead if you like extra movement speed.

 

Ranged Weapon wise I personally use the Artemia Mk III Purgation Flamer as some form of Crowd Control since this build is rather lacking in the Crowd Control area otherwise. Plus, using a Throwing Knife to cancel the Flamer's Pull Out Animation makes it much faster to use. The perfect modifier rolls here would be 80% Damage, 80% Ammo, 80% Burn, 80% Cloud Radius, and 60% Mobility. Realistically, getting all modifiers with 70% or above on all modifiers except Mobility would be solid.

 

If you don't like the Flamer or have teammates who already excel in Crowd Control, I'd recommend using whichever Ranged Weapon you like the best.

 

This is arguably one of if not my favourite build to run right now. Hopefully you enjoy using it as much as I do.
