I have two Chaos Axes that are +14% while Above 50% health. I want to make a Vampiric Chaos Axe. (I have a Vamp 3:1 Axe haft too).
Should I buy a Chaos Axe that's +15% while enchanted to use the Vamp Haft on OR should I just use it on one of my +14% while above 50%?
I'm trying to decide which would be more effective with the Vamp mod, the 15% while of 50% or the +15% while enchanted...

Depends on what you want to do. Are you farming? Are you going to use it for PvP?

Mostly farming and PVE but i ocasionally play PvP.

Well, if you are sticking to farming, go with the 15% enchantment if you plan on using enchantments, obviously.
And of course for the vice versa. the 15%>50% better for PvP for the extra damage.

Best shot for PvP would be to create a completely new character. Barring that, Enchants aren't really a sure option the higher up you go in PvP; in Random Arenas few people bring enchantment removal, while it happens more often in Tombs/GvG. Stick with the 14>50 or get a stances one. For PvE/farming, chances are you have an enchant up anyway so go with the enchanted one.
Incidentally, the difference between +14 and +15 is very minimal, the main reason for deciding is the condition.

Also, I beleive that you need to have a gold chaos axe with just 15% while enchanted to put two mods on it.
That being said, best for it is PvE. 3/1 Axe haft helps you steal health and you have the extra damage for when you have mending on.

you do relize that the diffrence between 14& and 15% is 1%, right? it won't make you stronge, it will let you do about 0.20 more damage per hit, wich will do 1 more damage point per 5 hits

The life gain from Vampiric is rather weak if you think about it and do a little calculation:
Assuming no attack speed buffs and just single target attacks:
3 life stolen every hit (1.33 sec) is 2.25 life per second.
-1 health pip is -2 life per second.
You're gaining roughly 1 life every 4 seconds out of it.
The real reason to use Vampiric is the added 3 damage from it. The life gain is negligible, but it's enough to pay for the lost pip if you are constantly attacking. Otherwise, F1-F2 for the win.
I'd go with the 15>50 personally. It's more bad situation-proof.
