A build that uses Axe to cause heavy damage and uses the elite Melandrus Reslience to survive most war counters

Attributes and Skills
Optional skills Flurry works well if you want to increase adren gain. I have also had success using Swift Chop in place of Agonizing Chop Flurry doesnt work, three stances is too many. Swift chop draws too much energy, would have to switch to glad armor.

Need another good 5 adren axe skill. Lacerating chop sucks, but Im about to start using it just to keep my spikes consistent.

Equipment
set 2: Vamperic Axe of Fortitude and Tactics Shield of Fortitude (Luck of the Draw insig) set 3: Icy Axe of Fortitude and Tactics Shield of Fortitude (Luck of the Draw insig) set 4: Wand of any kind and a Tactics Shield of Fortitude (Luck of the Draw insig)
 * Brawler Insignia with Runes of Sup. Absorption, Vigor; a rune of Clarity, and the Skill runes
 * set 1: Sundering Axe of Fortitude and Tactics Shield of Fortitude (Luck of the Draw insig)

Usage
The purpose of this build is to draw heavy aggro. You should be in the front and center of your group, focusing the enemies attention on you. Be sure to balance your Stances. Use Shield stance when under attack, but it your degeneration is more than -5, it is probably best to trigger resilience. Try to not to overwrite one stance with the other to optimize damage reduction.

Spam furious Axe as much as energy allows. Wait for all adren attacks to be charged, then spam attacks 1~5, then 1 should be recharged. (build ver. 1) Be sure to monitor your energy, always leave 5 in reserve for a stance. Remember that Melandrus gives +1 ene regen per hex/condition.

Counters
Heavy slow downs, life stealing, or focused spikes.

Variants
There is a sword variant of this build as well, should this build find favor i will submit it seperatly.
