I personally like Razorstone more, because it has Axe mastery+1, and also I think it looks better.

What do you think?

If it had a 3:1 Vampiric mod on it, it'd be awesome for a damage weapon.

Victo's Battle Axe ftw at the moment. I would rather have the Tanzit's Cleaver though. Also the VBA uses the same skin as the axe it is based off of. Most Greens use the standard default skin.

I have both but when I use axe I tend to use Victo's axe more.
Although the Razorestone has the better mod with double adrenaline

I use neither for these reasons: Victo's Battle Axe is sundering, and Razerstone is Furious of Axe Mastery. Sundering and of Axe Mastery are borth rather usless mods. Furious is, despite popular belief, not that great either. Saddly, the only other green axe, Tanzit's Cleaver has a Cruel axe haft. Why you'd want a longer duration on a killing condition, in place of a vamp, zealous, or an ele haft is not clear to me.

I got all 3 green axes, but I seem to be using Victo's the most.
Razorstone is better for the Furious Mod, but the +1 Axe Mastery mod is pretty crappy IMHO.

For the skin I like the razorstone, but for stats I like Victo's. I really don't care for Attribute + 1 mods. But I also like the furious mod of razorstone.

IMO victo's is a better overall axe and a nice skin as well.

Is this some kind of pve stronghold? No one would ever use sundering in any situation given that they have alternatives (and a decent IQ).

Furious is a great mod, especially in pve where you can spam cyclone axe forever.

Victo's ... because teh Sickle skin makes it so leet it does xtra damage, right!??!!!11!

Razor for function, Victo's for fashion (although the +30 is nice in certain situations)

I dont get why people like sundering and furious so much. i mean 1/10 hits you get the effect but with a zelous/vampiric you get effect every time

They're both crap

Axe Mastery mod is junk
Sundering mod is junk

So you're pretty much choosing which you prefer over the 10/10 furious and the +30 health... personally I perfer axes with 2 mods worth talking about

People dont like sundering. And furious is a lot more effective than you think. 1/10th of the time you get 2a instead of 1a. Or 11a every 10 hits. After a while those add up to extra eviscerates. (and eviscerate does like +2 more damage @17 axe!!! wooo!.........lol)

Compair this to zealous (and since we are talking about axes) almost none of the attacks use energy. You would just be topping off your already full bar.

And vampiric is always the best mod.

i like both but for the people saying weapon +1 is useless.. seeing how much times you cycle through your axe attaks that +1 can become noticable. Those mods do not suck. this goes for furios aswell because your always attacking and most of the time you'll be using a atk speed boost skill.

I personally use the Victo axe when farming ettins, but that's because......well hell I have no idea, because it used to be so sought-after. I'll use Razorstone next time to see if the furious is sexy.

I prefer VBA only because of its HP mod. I really hate sundering but I find +1 axe not that helpful in itself. I'd just rather use a sephis 10:10 furious +30 hp 15^50 above all others.

For PvE I'd say Tanzit's Cleaver is the best. Axe Rake and Axe Twist are linked to deep wound so having a longer duration is nice. It is certainly better that sundering or mastery +1 which are just about useless.

For PvP they all suck. Make your own.

Well, there isn't a lot of choice with greens. L33t [email protected] have to custom build their axes to get good mods.
Having said that, I <3 Razorstone because there is no good reason for Sundering. Ever.

If I had to choose one I would say Victo's its basically a cheap fortitude axe with no penalties the crap sundering mod is a bonus.

Furious is a decent mod better than sundering and the mastery mod isnt great but its not as bad as some people make it out to be, but Fortitude is just so much better than any other mods grip or haft that you really need a very very good reason not to run it.

If it came down to it I'd also pick Victo's for the Fortitude also, but then again Tanzit's Cleaver is essentially the same thing - a 15>50 +30 health axe with a crap prefix - for about a fifth of the cost.

Razorstone because of the furious mod, but I wish it had a +30 hp or +5 armor mod.

None. A zealous or vampiric axe will do.
