Mythical Brutallax - Useful for...?

[Rhylthar]

I´m currently puzzling which build should use this axe.

In my opinion, the stats say “Bleeding Trickster with…Pierce?”.
Honestly I never saw such a Hybrid Damage Build, but perhaps someone can help me.

What really bothers me:

1. No flat bleeding damage, but piercing. Why should someone use this (slow) axe when there are (in my eyes) much better piercing swords?
2. The skill modifier to AQC. I compared it to the procc on non-mythical Brutallax (100 % at Critical) which has the same numbers but shows a different amount in my sheet. Well, to get the same amount, you have to bring AQC to 13/8 (100 % Weapon Damage) (only explanation I have, will test it further later).
3. The skill modifiers to Savagery…again, Piercing/Bleeding Hybrid?

This could be a nice weapon for Bleeding Tricksters but some changes have to be made. Or am I totally wrong on this issue?

Yes, it is mainly for Piercing Savagery Trickster.
Using Assassin’s Blade, Blades of Nadaan, and Unknown Soldier in Devo.

Hm, okay…thx.

Is there any armor set for that kind of build?
BloodRager is bleeding (no piercing), Belgothian piercing (no bleeding).

[TZ_Tz]

I use full Belgothian set for that build + Bladetwister signet.
Make it a piercing build

I’ll post it later, currently still busy with some stuff.

no set just pieces. Vileblood shoulders, Bladetwister rings, Nightclaw axe, stuff like that. just don’t expect good pierce damage if you mix pierce and bleed

@ TZ Tz:
Thanks, I´m really interested.

@ Superfluff:
Thought so. I´m curious about devotion setup and performance compared to strictly bleeding/piercing. Nightclaw would be an interesting choice (together with Brutallax?), was thinking about Redeemer of Malmouth/Belgothians Slicer/Dermapteran Slicer when going sword(s) or perhaps Servitor´s Slicer.

Waiting for TZ Tz´s build and might start tinkering something.

well brutalax would make 2x bladetwister kinda redundant as far as conversion goes. Also you need at least 1 sword to benefit from nadaan. You could use this or a Godly bleed affix slicer.

My friend uses it on a Bloodrager trickster with Bloodsong sword. It’s pretty strong.

Yeah but it’s no longer pierce hybrid. Pure bleed really

Here’s a DW Piercing Trickster, I more focus on Pierce Damage :

Thank you.

I will try to squeeze Falcon and Devouring Swarm in this build.

@ mad_lee:
For pure bleed, Brutallux is subpar. I really tested it, for pure damage Gorefeast/Butcher are the better choices. I wish, Korba´s axes would have their skill bonus changed; that would be a great alternative.
