I use this and a Wurmy mostly cause I'm broke from all those months fletching which verant kindly payed me off by making Tunare only bows and ******** us Karana worshipers out the buttocks.. but I degress...(no I'm not bitter) but any who this is a decent cheap effective weapon for any NON tank class at lvl 51 with only 145 str unbuffed my ranger smacks for 110-120ish with the wurmy which is a 12 ratio and slow enough to keep aggro off me MOST of the time. If that's not devisatating enough it's followed by an offhand attack for 60-70, but yes the Stamina hit IS attrocious at higher lvls when I had my friends barbed ringmail tunic and NOT this weapon I wasn't doing the damage though I could take the hit as soon as I started using this I notice I outdamage most other melee classes my lvl besides a rouge but as soon as I tank wham instant rez. But with all things being said Ranger AREN'T tanks and they AREN'T druids combine this with a good JOLT and you'll brighten up any group that's minus a druid for snares and a rouge for Backstabs but if your a warrior might wanna stick with something else a bit safer :-)
This axe is pretty good. I just don't like the stamina hit. I'm still wishing that Verant would allow warriors to use the Sporali defender blade found in Runnyeye. It has the same damage and delay without the hit to stamina.

This is still a nice weapon. I'm a 45 Rogue so it's not like I'm going around counting my HPs. I BS for around 250 then pierce for around 30s with my prim then slash in the upper 40s with this thing. Using an FBSS with it, Jesus, I'm a freakin blender.
I don't know if it's because my sta was so low to start or the armor I've chosen to wear, but I've only lost 15hps at lvl 51 using this weapon with my ranger.
Picked up this weapon for 2,400 in EC, and when wielded in offhand with my lamentation in primary (picked up for 5,600), it can really do some nice damage. My ranger is only level 28 at the time, but she can do up to 46 damage with the axe and 26 damage with lammy (and the damage is very fast btw). Only loses 3 hp with the axe equipped, so it's no biggie at low levels. Good combo imho.
If you already have high stamina the STA hit is unoticeable. It is a fine off hand weapon, light enough not to tire you out much. The extra str is good too, not to mention I am hitting 40's pretty regularly with my offhand now. If I could improve anything I wanted about this weapon I would make it a tad faster ;)
at lower lvls this thing dont take jack for HP away from you. in fact with the +25 you will accually gain hp. in later lvls you will loose around 35-45hp but at lvl 50 or so when this happens who cares about 35-45hp. and you still get the +25hp bonus. you really dont loose all that much
I just picked up this weapon, I am a 27th level Ranger. I use a Wurmy in Primary, The Axe in off hand. I only lose 1hp at level 27, and the stamina drain is the same as if I used the Wurmy in primary and a different 1hs or 1hb in my off hand. I dont see an issue with the -15 stamina. the STR bonuses and other stats rock, and this thing hits HARD. If I lose 40 HP at level 45, so what. Thats nothing at that level. I was actaully trying to trade this away on Xegony, but Im not now! Have a Chanter make you a gold opal necklace, 9 Stam 6 agi. it pretty much negates any Stam issues.

Posted:Nov 21 2001 at 11:06 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I'm a level 51 ranger with this weap in offhand and the neg 15sta is a loss of about 27hps, thats including the bonus of 25hp, so the sta hits you harder the higher level you are.*sigh* its so easy at low levels its appalling
this is a great off hand wepon for a warrior, it does great dmg and the dly isn't that bad for an off hand considering the dmg, and it also has some good stats the only bad stat is the - 15 sta but it has +25 hp to make up for most of that so buy lvl 45 your only loseing like 35 40 hp, which isn't that big of a deal cause warrior are always usually in groups, at that lvl so you have a cleric to heal you, and at that lvl if you think about it 40 hp ? its nothing, really, in my opinion this makes a great off hand wepon.
The stamina loss at higher levels is bad, you'll lose around 3-3.5 hp per sta point at 50, so you're easily losing 40-45 hp, possibly more the higher level you are.
Drops from Myconoid Reavers, in the depths of Sebilis, I believe they are level 56 approx. Not too far from Trakanon. You need a well balanced level 56+ group to do that area.
Peoplefreek over the stmina -15, I lost only 11hps at lv 45 with it in my off-hand. I use wurymslayer i the primary and notice no difference in stamina lost. It's weaight is only 2.0...maning not loss hardly. Also most people are in a group anyway..have them cast envogor on your if u fight more than 2 or three battles without rest. I solo almost exclusively and find no problems weilding both. 45 ranger speaking. With low stam to begin with!
