Equipment
- Two-handed Axe
- Platemail
Use a two-handed axe to maximize the offensive potential of the build.
Magic damage weapons are particularly valuable because they can increase the effectiveness of the build’s Bleed damage.
Farming/Gameplay
The Boss Axeman is intended primarily for boss encounters rather than general-purpose farming.
Stay engaged with the boss and maintain your Chivalry buffs while using your axe to apply sustained melee pressure.
Additional Notes
Damage to Disease links are particularly useful when another player is applying disease to the boss.
Healers should focus their support on you when possible, allowing the build to remain aggressive and maximize its melee damage.
