Improve Axe's Damage?

Hi all,

I've just got a Gold Axe which has pretty nice stats/mods, however, it is far from max damage.

The axe has an existing Fiery Axe Haft. If I replace the haft with a Shocking Axe Haft, would it improve the Axe's dmg?

Thanks for answering!

It would just make it lightning damage instead of fire damage. The damage numbers (6-28 if max, but since it's not then whatever it reads as) would stay the same.

The only way this would improve the axe's damage is if you were fighting things that had a higher resistance to fire than lightning, or had a weakness against lightning.

Kha is absolutely right...as usual.

I would suggest trying to expert salvage the haft from the axe and re-apply it to a better base damage axe.

Just a suggestion.

Kha, thanks for your reply.

I guess I just have to sell it then.

Can I get a PC on the Axe:

Fiery Sephis Axe of Warding (Gold)
Fire Dmg: 6-20 (req. 7 Axe Mastery)
Dmg +19% (health >50%)
Armor +6 (v. Elemental)
