Differences from PR
PR is probebly getting nerfed soon, so what exactly are the differences between this build and PR in terms of spike and pressure? Dino Dave 13:34, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Less damage on spikes from attack skills, (evisc traded for dismember) compared with not having to cancel frenzy when your target kites, meaning you get more attacks on targets. PR is still beyyer but after the nerf it won't be worth running it since it will have less than half up time now. --Frosty  [[Image:Frostcharge.jpg|19px]] 13:39, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * anymore the eviscerate executioner's strike spike don't work that much but it's fairly effective. very weak against any type of anti-melee and shock is a costly interrupt skill --Brandnew 13:42, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Fuck you all, Eviscerate is still amazing. The other day, I bulls'ed some monk, whack whack eviscerate, executioner's strike (none of this pussy body blow shit), qshocked his WoH when he stood up, hit him twice more and he exploded and then I changed my pants. Misery  14:32, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * no one cares, and there is no need to say fuck you all to anyone here, there not saying evisccerate is bad, but in the long run pr could do tons more damage then eviscerate could, body blow>executioners, 7 adren> 8 adren, there is nothing here needed to be angry about.

 * youre really funny. is it possible to put someones contributions on your watchlist? would totally do it for this guy -- Ang el us 15:57, February 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * exec > body blow because it's old skool niga. --Brandnew 15:58, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Body blow has a fucking amazing animation though--TahiriVeila 16:29, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, bblow looks like a chainsaw and like.. instills fear in your opponent, that's why you always run this skill vs big domage skills in primary attributes. I used exec a few days ago and the sound effect was all wimpy, animation weak.. and my opponent lived.. i should have brought bblow.74.61.39.33 00:50, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * OMG you fucking still play?-- X 16:43, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I fucking do fucking occasionally. The Picnic Pioneers are mighty, so mighty that [rawr] specs against us in AB. Also, lol@Trapping Moons Love. Misery  17:37, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * And I believe we still won mighty moo. Frosty 07:13, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Here's the variant I've been using for PvP:
Bull's Strike goes in the slot not showing. This variant offers more utility and negligibly less bonus damage. --BlazingBurdy 14:43, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Someone could probably say that's analogical to bringing 3 rupts on a ranger. -- -Chaos- (moo!) -- 17:54, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * The missing damage is nonnegligible when you're trying to push a kill. --Lemming 20:08, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Evis axe is more spike-oriented than utility since it costs 8 adren and combines both DW and big dmg in a single attack. If you want more utility, run another elite.-- Kazurin  18:12, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Air Focus
What is it needed for?
 * Using shock more often for offensive pushes, where it can make a huge difference how many shocks you get off. It's more of a GvG tactic, so you don't really need to bother with it in lower end arenas. --Toraen 19:19, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Meta
I'm going to remove the votes because lolreasoning, but is this actually meta in GvG and HA anymore? I rarely see it over a dervish and hammers are pretty much the only balanced warriors I'm seeing. I do see shock axe sometimes, but it's probably more of a fringe build now. --  Toraen   talk  17:58, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Whirling Axe> this but neither are Meta anymore. Spike damage is better coming from dervs. ~  Ӎiñon Crysig.jpg 18:01, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I think it isn't Shado</FONT>w</FONT> 18:13, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Was gonna come on to say pretty much the same. Still as effective as it always was but its kinda outclassed now. I still run it in tombs, but to be fair i play like once every month if that now and im hardly super srs... Rawr 16:38, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, update is going to rape the shit out of Onslaught. -25%movement speed ftw. Also, -25%dmg from twin moon sweep + increased adrenaline cost of wearying strike ftw. Bye dervs,welcome back Shock Axe. Triss 00:05, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Spent some time on obs a few days ago and saw it in pretty much every game. -- DANDY ^_^ -- 00:19, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Chain Combo Flux
With a combo of Strength and Axe Mastery skills, this should greatly enhance shock axe. Shock -> evisc -> BB -> Agonizing/Disrupting -> Bull's. Add in a frenzy/rush and it could be pretty easy to maintain the 30% bonus. <font color="Black">Frostels 10:40, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
