W/N Soul Taker Axe (ofN)

NOTE: This video was captured prior to the extensive 2026-06-24 balancing patch! ►About I decided to test some elite skills I previously haven't used on an axe warrior. This one is soul taker, which requires axes of the necromancer. You get a reasonable uptime. Frequent recasting is annoying, but in return you get to trigger dark aura with every attempted hit, which is obviously great. A splinter weapon + dark aura cyclone axe will immediately remove any balling foes. This video has been captured after the AI change to dark aura. As you can see heroes now maintain dark aura very well without any micro management. Huge convenience gain which makes soul taker bars all the better! Build variants with flail (tactics and strength based) were too clunky to play so I accepted the downgrade to drunken master. Maybe a variant with burst of aggression (+ dwarven stability?) is a good alternative. Worth trying some day. ►Templates Player: OQQSEZJTvlXFKFdaZfVif1qi Hero 1: OAmjIykjJPeTMW58aexq374aMA Hero 2: OwAS4YIP+sqPetLuQo+uk5B Hero 3: OAljUwGpZSIVlMUB4BbhVV7Y0BA Hero 4: OAhjQkGZIPDt7QVV4JNncDzxJA Hero 5: OAmkAyhDZamD20Za9echTo5O+iB
