I'd really appreciate some help in deciding which axe is the best overall for stats. I guess the looks comes down to personal taste. but fee free to let me know what you all think

The top one is better for warriors generally, the bottom better for casters. The bottom (+5e) can also be kept on swap in PvP in case you need a bit more energy for a shock (on ghostly etc).

Pricewise, the Gothic wins from the low req ^^

Use the top one for general axe-wieldery on your warr (I use something similar but with 3/-1 vampiric and +5 armour - all down to personal preferances), and either save the bottom one for if you use a caster with +20% enchantments, or sell it on.

THe one with + 5 energy is probably worst off for u. looking at your skill bar more adrenaline skills. THe top one 15^50 which is pretty sought after me personally wud swap the 10/10 adren for a different mod.

It's all situational - if you like to try out both you should at keep both.

But for your current setup the first seems to be better from that build.

for fighting, I would use the 15^50, but for running I would use the +5 ( and for a caster )

if you like using adrenaline builds look into getting a 15/-5

Put a vamp mod on the Zodiac, customize it, get an Executioner's Helm, and sell the Gothic.

add a sup Axe rune too as clearly your health is monstrously high, a sup rune would boost your damage a lot.

Oh, I forgot to add: buy a superior vigor with the money from the Gothic.

Thanks for all your replies. It seems that the favoured is the Zodiac for my build. I guess from a looks perspective I will be buying the tank 15K luxon, so Im after a dark gothic look for my weps too.

I do like the Gemstone Axe, along with a Gloom shield that would look good with the right stats.

A Gothic will INVARIABLY be MUCH more expensive than a gemstone axe. So will the Gloom shield.

Gemstone with Gloom might look really cool. GL and HF!

I find that the Strongroots shield looks great with the leaf effect, but its too small. I am going to bid on a gloom shield. What stats should I be looking for, I can spend 150k max.

Mostly depends on your overall builds, if you use stances[or enchantments] a lot +45 health in stance/while enchanted would be great and perhaps +10 armor vs something.
then again if you don't use stances or enchantments go for a +30 health.

Use a shield like the endgame factions shield. It's got good mods if you don't wanna run anything.

When he says he doesn't use stances I think its fair to say he doesnt use evasion/block stances.

I use Sprint so I can run to outposts and evade the enemy and I prefer not to use block stances, I wouldn't be buying an axe to compliment one skill such as sprint, so Yes sprint is in my skill bar and that doesnt validate using a weapon that utilises "Stances".. As for Tiger stance, I just bought it and was testing it out. Other than that I dont use em.
