Great Axe and Armor Testing
-
So since the patch, I've tried just about every combo except using chainmail. What it boils down to for me is Slayer (still) or Hunter armor. With the updated patch, great axe feels better but it doesn't seem like it was pre-patch, however it's workable now. In Slayer, I don't seem to kill as fast as Hunter armor, however, I think I kill a bit faster with Hunter armor on so there's the trade. Either armor works for solo play, it's more preference than anything. Do you want to kill a bit faster OR do you want to take less damage. Now, this was only testing done vs. ogres. Bandits/grokotans/etc. do not count because you can kill those easily with just about any build. It did seem that elementals are best killed in slayer though for some reason. They don't do much damage vs. plate armor.
I'd like to know if anyone has tested out cleric and battlemage armor, I'd like to hear thoughts on that for my mage.
