Been hitting like a truck with this!

highest: 197
best double: 181 & 182

It's like a weighted axe. I like it, but it's hard to keep taunt with it unless you start out with a big double hit.

i just bought this item and i like it alot, i'd have to say argent protector was better due to stats, but for 1.6k i think this was really a nice deal(for people 51+/near 51)

im a 55 warrior and i only use this when im not MA. to me the lack of stats dont mean much, theres normally a str buffer in the group and i can get my str up to 255 no probs. with haste item, ench haste and even bard haste, this rocks. think about it - the ratio on this is not far off the other higher end items - even narandils and prices will be dippng under 5k soonish.
str of grodan is certainly nice but i camped ME for it for some time and never got it to drop.
Nice wep

I have a Argent Protector which I feel is by far the superior weapon to this and I also have a SoG. Still wouldn't mind one of these to 'play' around with and nice to have in the inventory for trade value.

I recommend acquiring a AP if you can, I think you can still get a decent $$ amount for the AoA and put it towards a AP.

Just my 2cp worth

Per Guide Siagyn on Terris-Thule server, I bought one of these last night for my 42 Human SK, I was informed last night that you HAVE to be lvl 51 to equip

WRONG!

I also have this for a twink, it can be equipt but at lvl 35 it is a 23/50 weapon, so there is no point. I'll keep it on my Main for when I want damage without agro until my Warrior gets to 51 then he'll get it for those same occasions.

it was rcommended lvl 51 so you could equip pre 51 with decreased stats but one day i logged my little 38 at the time warrior in to be killed by an item bug, got back to my corpse to fidn my axe was now required lvl 51 : (

The original poster is correct, you cannot equip this earlier than the recommended level.

While this is generally not true of RECOMMENDED level items, All of the Cazic Thule loot is the same. I have the Prelates helm. Cannot be equipped at 50, can be equipped at 51. Recommended level 51.

I don't know why the cazic thule items are coded differently, but all, or at least most, are like this.

Im a 53 warrior and i use it (for 2 lvl now ). Got it in New cazic. its dmg 43 bonus 23 delay 50
Thats it no other stats or some effect (
I use dual wield when im main tank to keep agro .
But when me and my friends are just huntin for fun i only use this axe , i got a dragonborn sash so that breaks the delay a bit .. and my Buddy is a high lvl enchanter so he tosses some speed buff and boon of the garou on me and then its nasty :p
Well to all that say or think it sux .. try it out if u have the opurtunity :)btw i got nice +300 crits and had already +500 Cripling blowz (last time i had a double cripling blow : one of 524 and the other 512 ... well thats more than 1k dmg in no time :p )

This weapon is droppable.

I traded Venomous Axe of the Velium Brood for it, so I roughly paid 3k for this weapon.

It hits hard. I did 204/201 with just my sucky 131 str.

And avg 109 per hit.

Throw 24% haste item, and 25% self haste, and this Paladin can solo again at 53.

What is PC of this weapon on Nameless?

This is better than grodan especially as SK
# Mar 31 2002 at 4:26 AM Rating: Decent
28 posts
hello, i bought this weapon for about 6000pp.. (however it is worth over 10k.. ppl ask for 15k often get 12k .. but im smart so i got it for 6k)

Anyways, there are some reasons to why I (shadow knight) think this is much better than Strength of grodan.

1. We shadowknights have Stats-taps like STR25, AC30 etc.. those spells make it quite ok for us to not care about grodans str25 sta15..

2. When SK solo he doesnt take damage (i fear kite.. as i am lvl 50 plus and not possible to solo like warrior) i.e. sta15 isnt that necessary.

3. when i do not solo (i.e. raid or in a group), i always get maxed stats due to shammy buffs etc. this makes the most important thing DMG/DLY of weapon and not its additional stats.

to sum it up, i hope u agree with me that when higher level you cooperate more with others.. and you depend more on others buffs.. therefore, in my opinion, the dmg/dly is ABSOLUTELY the most important.. HOWEVER.. as SK, i would consider the Str of grodan if it had like INT or something.. but its only 25 str and sta15, which i can get VERY easy from my own spells or others buffs.. With Axe of Agression i double hit for 190.. with shammy buffs i easilly get over 200...

200 !! imagine!! i can kill mobs with 20k hp in a few seconds now when i have 22% haste items.. and soon i will buy 30% haste item... is not dmg/dly the most important???

would be interesting to hear something else.... hee hee

/sk slashing mobs for 190 without any buffs at all (lvl 52)

PS. this weapon (axe of agression) has dmg bonus44 around lvl 58 :) thats nize isnt it?
RE: HECK I LIKE TO ARGUE... HEAR IT GOES
# Apr 04 2002 at 7:20 PM Rating: Default
YOUR RIGHT ABOUT THE DAMAGE RATIO, AT HIGHER LEVELS IT IS KEY. DMG RATIO, HP, MP, RESISTS, AND PROCS ARE THE THINGS MOST 50 PLUS ARE LOOKING FOR. AS FOR TAKING DOWN 20K HP MOBS IN A FEW SECONDS, I'M MIGHT HAVE TO ARGUE WITH YOU THERE(HEHE I KNOW YOUR EXAGERATING).
BUT CONSIDER THIS...


MY BROTHER GOT HIS STRENGTH OF GRODAN 41/51 25 STR AND 15 STA AND AT LEVEL 37 HE WAS DOUBLING FOR 170 TO 185 WITH IT (ONLY SELF BUFFED). NOT ONLY THAT BUT HE IS A WEAKLY DARK ELF THE STR AND STA ARE AWESOME FOR HIS RACE. HEY, HE GOT IT FOR FREE ONLY HAD TO CAMP MAIDENS EYE FOR 2 DAYS TO LOOT IT. (NOT VERY LIKELY NOW, I HEAR THAT DROPS ARE NERFED BUT I HOPE THEY STILL DROP)

1)FOR AN ELF RACE, AND ONLY AN ELF RACE, THE STRENGTH OF GRODAN JUST MIGHT BE A BETTER CHOICE OF WEAPON THEN THE AXE OF AGRESSION, JUST B/C THEY ARE A LITTLE BEHIND IN THE STRENGTH AND STAMINA DEPT.
2)STRENGTH OF GRODAN IS FREE. TAKE YOUR HARD EARNED 15K GO BUY SOME HASTE ITEM OR START COLLECTING YOUR RESISTS GEAR. (S-UBERS, THE MONEY THING MIGHT NOT MATTER TO YOU)
3)BETTER LOOT RIGHTS, IF YOU ARE A PALI OR SK YOU CAN BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT STRENGTH OF GRODAN IS GEARED FOR YOUR CLASS MORE THAN A WARRIOR. YOU HAVE A BETTER CHANCE TO CONVINCE PEOPLE TO LET YOU LOOT A STRENGTH OF GRODAN. (FUN TOY FOR WARRIORS, BUT 95% OF THE TIME I LIKE MY WARRIORS DUAL WEILDING)
4)HUNTING IN MAIDENS EYE IS DECENT FOR EXP AND LOOT. MIGHT AS WELL GET ONE IF YOU CAN AND AGAIN SAVE YOUR MONEY.(MAYBE, IF I DIDNT HAVE MONEY PROBLEMS I WOULDN'T KEEP BRINGING THIS UP)
5)MAIDENS IS SAFER AND EASIER TO NAVIGATE THEN CAZIC THULE. AN "AVERAGE" GROUP CAN EASILY DO WELL IN MAIDENS, BUT YOU NEED QUICK WITS, SWIFT SWORDS, AND A LITTLE LUCK (IT CAN'T HURT) TO TAKE ON THE DANGERS OF CAZIC.


HEY IF YOU GET TO LOOT THE AXE OF AGGRESSION IT IS A GOOD 2HS, BUT IF I ALREADY OWN SoG IM NOT BUYING AoA FOR 10K OR EVEN 6K. IS IT BETTER THEN THE STRENGTH OF GRODAN, BASED ON RATIO ALONE YES, LIKE I SAID ELVES AND DARK ELVES MIGHT PREFERR SoG. BUT I WONT UPGRADE FROM A SoG TO AoA, ITS NOT THAT MUCH BETTER.

JUST AN AVERAGE SHAMAN TRYING TO BE INTERESTING ;O)


YOU MAY NOW TO FLAME ME FOR ANY SPELLING, INFO ERRORS, OR JUST BECAUSE YOU HATE KATS AND FROGS...

hello there my friend i do concider your arguments but here it goes..............

1. i just made 9k in 5 days farming.. if i want money i go get money. its all about time nothing else.

2. i just looted Grodans Idol (range slot: str12 agi10 hp25 some resist5..) this is another reason for why i dont care about the str25 on "Strength of grodan" my str is now 190.. with just one shammy buff its maxed (therefore the dmg/dly ratio is much much MUCH more important than that str25 on grodan :)

3. ive heard a rumour that verant is making axe of aggression into NO DROP again, i was lucky i could buy it on this short moment.

4. of course as you mentioned grodan is free, however, as its nerphed now, not everyone can get it. (also it wouldnt surprise me if they nerphed grodans stats, they shouldnt like lvl 20-40 people going around with Strength of grodan.. who knows? :)

to sum it up, your arguments does not change my opinion. STRENGTH is the EASIEST thing to increase as a melee.. just look at the range item i just got.. and my buffs (str25 tap).. there are only TWO Things making me concider strength of grodan as an alternative (which actually fails):
-grodan is no drop, AoA is not, therefore it would be a classic to keep no drop, sell item that isnt no drop (people usually do that only because of money), but then again i answer this by saying: money is not important for me and AoA might become NO DROP as well (forcing you to chose in a way..hehe)
-the STA15 is very nice.. thats actually the only thing making me consider grodan, as sta is difficult to increase........HOWEVER, the dmg/dly is more important.. because it determines how fast you kill out the mobs..

sorry to say, im pretty sure i wouldnt want grodan more than this.. if i would get grodan, the only reason for me looting it is to be able to sell the AoA.. which i wouldnt want.. I hope the AoA becomes a no drop then i dont have to think about this.. because either way: AoA inflict greater damage (was what ive heard) because AoA has 43 damage.. grodan only 41.. and also AoA has one less in delay.. which is very nice :)

sorry, but after concidering your arguments i can only say that ur brother must be happy.. why? because hes only a low level and doesnt have the capability to get much money (9k in 5 days) like me at level 52... thats why he MUST have str of grodan, there isnt actually another option for him (like for me hee hee)

so good luck!
/convinced 52 sk slashing for over 200 very easily with my own buffs

NICE LOOT GRODANS IDOL YOU SHOULD SEND PIC IN TO ALLAKHAZAM'S AS THEY DONT HAVE IT IN THIER RECORDS YET.

YEP AS OF THIS POST SITE SAIS AoA IS NO DROP NOW. ALAS IT WILL FADE INTO A DISTANT MEMORY. BECAUSE IT WILL END UP ROTTING, AS PEOPLE WHO CAN FIGHT INSIDE MOST LIKELY HAVE BETTER WEAPONS. AND THIS IS A BELOW AVERAGE DROP FOR CAZIC IT SEEMS.

<edit> ALTHOUGH PEOPLE SAY ITS NOT NO DROP, HAVE TO WAIT TO FIND OUT WHICH IT IS.

well its all about who you bring with you and where you go. if you bring a whole group it will be inefficient (less loot for you). If you bring just one friend you just need to share with one. Look on the internet on different zones, farm at one place one day, move to another the other day.. if you know your way around and if u know what mobs drop what, it is pretty simple.. and no, i dont need to spend 24hours each day to make 9k in 5 days. this week i will make 10k, need that to buy another uber item.. only downside to this is that its hard to level up.. that is, it requires that you focus on farming and spend time auctioning alot.. but thats worth it in my opinion.

can someone tell me if grodan is better or worse weapon than this axe? the +3 in dmg and -1 in dly.. is that better than 25str 15sta ??
RE: please answer a question..
# Jul 15 2002 at 12:18 PM Rating: Decent
AoA is better...the only thing that matters on a weapon is ratio...Stats are just fluff. Now maybe is SoG had 25 ac instead of str then i could see a fuss, otherwise, AoA is a superior weapon.

many people say:
"i dont think this weapon is good.. only if they have haste or something".

DOOOOOH of COURSE we use haste items with such weapons... we ALWAYS do.. thats the method, use a 2hs with very hi delay so that you can aquire great damage... and then buy haste items.. start with 22% haste... then when you hit lvl 55 and get more money you get 30% or 50% haste.. thats how it works... NO ONE will want to use this weapon without haste.. those who buy this weapon will also buy haste item sooner or later.. therefore, this weapon is VERY nice. i bought mine for 6k.. with my haste 22% item i have a weapon which is the same like 43/36

is 43/36 bad? :) thought so.. hehe

Careful when you say "NO ONE". On a PvP server weapons like this are very good for first strike even without haste. In lower levels large races have benefit of Weighted Axe, even if it is heavy it is just situational. My troll warrior at level 30 has dealt out nearly 400 pts dmg on a successful double attack and I have even seen him dish out 550+ when he got a riposte in before his first attack! At level 30 a SK harm touch doesnt do that much and its only good every hour....mine is good whenever the dice roll my way ;)

Strenght of Grodan from Maiden's Eye is 41 51 and practically zero weight. This would be nice little upgrade if you dont mind not having the +25 STR and +10 STA the Grodan axe gives.

Some of the most uber weapons in the game have graphics that make them look like cheap weapons. For example, Swiftblade of Zek looks like a SSoY and Blade of Carnage looks like a Lammy. The graphic doesn't matter. Besides, when you start getting crits in the 300-400 range off this baby, people are gonna know you aren't wielding an Axe of the Iron Back.

Yep, no trouble with the graphic at all. In fact, I'd still use it if it had the same graphic as the newbie short swords. That is, if I could get one, which I can't.

Imagine the duel potential. get some of that planes armor with no graphic, and one of these. Would even be funnier on one of the pvp servers.

As for the axe, I don't find it that good unless you have haste. But then again I don't use 2hs.
