Like i said before (and Ahfack said as well many times in the thread), yes, Crit versions and Sword versions can go higher on damage.

The question is whether that's even needed, and whether it's worth the tradeoff of the very nice utility, defense and leech.

I tweaked the build myself to drop the bleed and part of the impale nodes for more crit and multi, and Impact + Overwhelm, and it's safe to say that it will do quite a lot more damage even with just a simple Starforge (especially with the 8% modifier on Starforge, which is quite nice).

However, i'm pretty sure that it's complete overkill. The RT version will oneshot and safely farm anything with endgame gear, and you won't be as squishy or die as often.

*Remember that mobs have gotten both HP increases as well as higher damage in this patch*

Going glass cannon is likely not very advisable.

Will be something to look at later on in league though once we're farming with RT version and getting the currency to experiment.

Edit: if you go crit, it's also far more interesting to go elemental damage than physical, because you will get extra effects from the crits.


Yep, exactly your "edit"; I was planning this because of CoC or CwC + cold as extra for freeze crits, useful again porcupines and other stuff while mapping rather than just more dps for bossing.

About beeing glass cannon, the only thing that bothers me is Uber Elder and I'm not going to cyclone those mf, there're a lot of cheaper, more reliable, builds to do that (like nobrainer trappers).

Again, thanks for the input because a week ago I didn't want to play this league... oh boy how wrong I was.
Since 99.9% of playerbase won't even see a disfavour by week 2, what would be a good 2h axe for mapping? Any unique option or is it all rares for that slot?

I would recommend not specializing into any weapon type early on, leave those nodes for when you get your hands on a Disfavour, Starforge, etc (ie leave them for the 80-90 range), and go with whatever you find cheaply to get going with. The criteria are simple: high physdam, optimally attack speed and some nice other effects. There are several cheap variants like that across all 2h types, and by not forcing yourself into one type niche you will be more flexible to start with.

Later on when you've farmed through white maps and are getting some currency you can specialize.

Level 13: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Limbsplit

Any other than that, rares; you're focusing on damage and range mostly, attack speed. No need for crit or accuracy when axes.

You can use literally anything that have 400+ pdps, you'll be ok. That what im going to search at the beggining, an tabula or a corrupted 6l for chest and something for weapon filtered by pdps in poe trade. That makes the entire build pretty cheap.

Hello Man,

I would like to ask on 6L axe. For single target is Impale (green gem) and for mapping Pulverize (red gem)?

You want changing color on axe all time??

That's one way to do it,

alternatively you could get a SECOND axe,

and as a third option, you can craft 1 to 3 white sockets on your axe using a research syndicate safehouse with vorici as a member. (number of sockets relative to vorici level)
Thanks for the update!

Just wanted to make sure, wouldn't Pride + Blasphemy + Enlighten (level 4), Dread Banner and Blood and Sand total to 94.8% (95%) reserved mana?

So we only have 5% mana available and not 16%?

Or use Close Combat Support instead of maim/pulverize
