Is the Great axe any good?

[Zachshock]

I recently got it as a drop from a considerably weak enemy but the strength requirement is rediciously high. Is this weapon any good? Is this weapon a noob trap?

just use a straight sword. best weapons in the game.

It's a pretty good weapon for both a quality and strength build. Does good damage and with considerably fast attack speed. Although not a fast as dex weapons. It's a damn good weapon. However, try some other weapons. See which one fits your play style. If you like strength? That's fine. Like dex weapons? That's fine too! If you can't choose between the two then go with a quality build (40 str/ 40 dex).

But I don't have enough dex and I prefer to use strength because it's simple and straight forward.

Yes it is good. Has one of the highest none split AR's out there. Biggest downside is the range though.

I thought Ledo's was higher.

Its rolling R1/RB is the worst.

Never specified which was higher. Simply said it has one of the highest. But no Greataxe edges it out by just a bit. 2handed closes the gap but Great still wins. Even Ledos WA doesn't help since Greats warcry pushes the difference even further.

Negative. Has the standard rolling attacks of the greataxes. If you don't like those, then 1hand it instead so it extends instead of pushing downward. If your speaking on the class itself, then that's an entirely different point tbh. As it stands despite the high AR it's range is it's biggest flaw.

If you're doing a strength build, collect a Great Machete as a starting point then progress to the Great Axe when you have the stats. If you want to put a couple of additional points into Dex, the Spiked Mace is excellent and actually scales as a Strength weapon and has a built-in bleed effect, can be infused and buffed.

Its good for pve with the min str un upgraded it has like 300 AR one shoting everything early

Has the second highest physical AR output in the game I believe. Third being Ledo and first being Yhorm's Spaghetti.

Anyway, yes. Do not overestimate its range though, it is a very short weapon. But hit anything with it and they are unlikely to recover very quickly.

Infused it overtakes Yhorm's Spaghetti, it's the highest Physical AR weapon in the game.
