this axe is great for primal rend build, primal rend is said not to be effected by weapon base damage so you got multi hit and a ungimped WS to pair it with. put this and a Temperance Axe (when bst/nin) and spam the hell out of primal rend for some decent damage. Or just use this and save on V~stones. bst just got more burn friendly with this as long as you're not spamming 0.
This is more for BST. A WAR can use a multitude of other better multi-hit weapons because of their decent skill (B) in other weapons. BST only gets a Kraken Club and has a D rating in Club skill.
A better alternative for the Rampage spamming BST.
This seemingly benign weapon can be a real life saver in Beastmaster Duo situations when subbing Dancer. The low DPS and high rate of Occ.Atk.Twice ensures hate stays low, and TP stays high, allowing steps, waltzes and sambas to be performed with impunity.
Even with the introduction of the astonishlingy powerful Punisher(DMG+19,Delay+30,Occ.Atk.twice) this weapon is still a handy tool in any BST/DNC's arsenal. The Upgraded Punisher is simply too powerful to allow any meaningful healing without retribution. The lesser Punisher on the other hand is safer, but being Rare/Ex, having one or the other blocks you from acquiring the other one.
Really strange that the Dmg is so low, very weak comparing to joytoy or ridill for exampel. and higher delay :/ Hopefully the base DMG can be upped by synergy.
