CIP: LOBe Let me "Axe" you a question
So this is me right now:
And Trog gifted me this over the top +12 war axe of flaming, and I'm debating whether to switch to it vs. my +4+5 executioner's axe, the exec axe *does* do more damage, but only slightly and the war axe is one handed so I could use a shield.
Is it worth the loss of a few points of damage/round to be able to put off training axes to 26 and get some defensive skills instead, and get to use a shield in the meantime? I'm thinking to switch to it for a little while (at least during lair/orc possibly all of pre-vault Dungeon)
(Obviously neither of these is an endgame weapon, I expect trog will eventually drop an antimagic, elec, or other useful exec axe on me, but flaming isn't bad, until it's not useful any more of course)

And Trog gifted me this over the top +12 war axe of flaming, and I'm debating whether to switch to it vs. my +4+5 executioner's axe, the exec axe *does* do more damage, but only slightly and the war axe is one handed so I could use a shield.
Is it worth the loss of a few points of damage/round to be able to put off training axes to 26 and get some defensive skills instead, and get to use a shield in the meantime? I'm thinking to switch to it for a little while (at least during lair/orc possibly all of pre-vault Dungeon)
(Obviously neither of these is an endgame weapon, I expect trog will eventually drop an antimagic, elec, or other useful exec axe on me, but flaming isn't bad, until it's not useful any more of course)
