Axe Brute

Just made an Axe/SR brute 2 days ago and it was SUCH a pain to level her just to 12. Am I doing it wrong?

I know the recharge is slow, but the end drain is just downright terrible. Even now I have one lv15 End Red invention in every one of her attack and 1 in each of her defence too, she still can't move from mob to mob like other brutes - she needs frequent resting, and of course, by the next mob, all the fury will be gone. Axe is driving me crazy.

And I really don't see that many Axes around. I have only seen one lv50 Axe Brute so far. Is axe that bad for brute? What is the best way to play it then?

Try 2 in each. Melee types really are a pain pre-SOs, just stick with it. I'd recommend 2 acc 2 end rdx in each attack and 2 end rdx in each toggle.

[Edit] WRT War Axe, I've seen plenty about on Union, much more than I've seen /SR [/Edit]

I just started an Axe brute. I had a level 41 Axe/WP tank but I wanted to do some smashing so I squished him and went for the Brute. To be honest, I think you need Quick Recovery AND Stamina simply to stand much of a chance with the Axe primary. Or at least other endurance helpers like Energy Drain or Power Sink. He simply didn't run out of endurance until he got Focussed Accuracy.

With an End intensive secondary like SR that doesn't do you any favours, it's going to be a horribly painful ride until you've got enough inf to do some seriously hardcore slotting.

I've just made myself an axe/sr. gotten him to 11 and he is great fun. Endurance is heavy, but is fine if i only run one toggle, and to be honest there is so much mitigation in the primary that it hasnt been much of an issue. Looking forward to slotting some DOs tho!

SR offers you quickness so instead of slotting 1 recharge in your attacks its better to slot 1 endurance.

Yep, that certainly was my intention. And having had a brief glimpse of the halloween event, I need to get this badboy some levels so I can be chopping down some undead!
