Even though I don't farm, I've been testing this build for some odd reason... 16 axe in Pve... hmm...

16 axe
8+1 Strength
7+1 Tactics
8 Curses

Cyclone Axe
Eviscerate {E}
Exe. Strike
Bonetti's Defense
Dolyak Signet
Plague Touch
Parasitic Bond
Mark of Pain

Meant for soloing melee only enemies to a good degree. Not quite sure why I can't seem to survive with it seeing as I manage to dump Parasitic on a lot of them and reduce their damage to near nothing by overlapping Bonetti's with Dolyak. Done correctly, I should have either up 100% of the time... Is there something I'm missing from this to make it live longer? [think Griphons]

My old build used a lower axe count for higher tactics/curses but I'm experimenting on a max axe count.

ditch parasitic and go for a tactics move to live longer

Just tested this build a bit. It works ok, just don't aggro too much.

15 Axe
2 Strength
10 Tactics
10 Curses

Cyclone
Evicerate*
Bonetti's
Disciplined Stance
Shield Stance
Shadow of Fear
Mark of Pain
Heal Sig

For reference, here's the build I use for griffons. I can do all the griffons and minotaurs in two groups with this setup.

9 Sword
3 Strength
14 Tactics
12 Curses

Sever Artery
Gash
Bonetti's
Disciplined Stance
Shield Stance
Spiteful Spirit*
Mark of Pain
Heal Sig

For the record, I don't want swords. I just don't.

2ndly, my old farming build doesn't run Eviscerate, though I simply want to since everyone worships it and there has to be a way.

I can't ditch parasitic cause it heals me, however...
Hmm...

Perhaps this one...

16 axe
9 tactics
8 strength
8 curses

Cyclone Axe
Eviscerate {E}
Bonetti's Defense
Shield Stance
Dolyak Signet [yay for quick recycle time]
Healing Sig
Shadow of Fear
Mark of Pain

Nice to see that both curses last so long I suppose I don't need Exe. Strike since with 5 anti-damage skills in my bar, 3 of which cost 0 energy, I can just let mark of Pain do it's thing. Flipped Strength with Tactics since there's more tactics skills to be had.

Thanks for the input! ^_^
