Build Playstyle
This setup is a build that fully utilize the Great Axe and War Hammer’s frontline skill setup. You’re the tank of the team and by relying on your damage, you’re able to drain back the damage you deal against enemy mobs to sustain yourself in battle.With 2 weapons both using Strength, stat distribution is also simpler, we highly recommend keeping a higher priority for attack and compensating for the lower consitution with high defense gear as you’ll be able to drain back the damage they deal to you anyway by having higher lifesteal damage.
