Starburst Anniversary Axe

Good opening aoe spiking with Intensity>Starburst>Intensity>Inferno. Clean up the rest with good single target axe damage. Even better with Strength of Honor from one of your heroes. Works well in most hard mode areas with a good hero team. It goes without saying that this doesn’t do well in areas with high fire resist (destroyers, ooze pit, kathandrax, ect,) Enchanment removals can be annoying, but most of the damage comes from Starburst/Inferno, so will still do ok.

Use the anniversary axe “Engrave” but replace the innate cold damage with a fire damage upgrade, since water magic skills are mostly useless for close range.

Of the Necro mod not really necessary. Other options: Of the warrior, assassin, dervish, fortitude or enchanting.

Optionals:

Soldier's Strike Cheap, low CD good damage.

Thrill of Victory Good damage, adrenaline gain.

Flame Burst More pbaoe. Can be hard on energy if spammed.
