To all you out there that live by this weapon in XP parties need to do alittle research on your weapon choices. There are several reasons you want to buy and sell this axe after you get your uses out of it.
1.) Most WAR's tend to be pressured by 'Outside Influences' (I call them noobtastic DRK's) to level Axe's; well atleast well into their 60's. WAR's have an A- in grade with Axe's which is not too terribly bad at all. I followed this path and did what most other people wanted me to come as because of the Rampage Whores. Problem is that when you are leveling Axe's, you tend to put Great Axe on the backburner. This wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that you probably have a fight with Maat soon. Most WAR's will tell you that G.Axe is the way to go in the Maat fight and that a skill of atleast 225+ is recommended for the fight; and I wholeheartedly agree. This is the Great Axe of choice if you want skillups.
2.) The Dark Amood has DMG comparable to other Great Axes of its level but what this bad boy is missing is bonus stats like STR, ATK, and VIT (which I believe VIT plays a role in the WS Steel Cyclone) Honestly, I would recommend a Colossal Axe +1 or a Pendragon Axe because of the added stats. Even if you dinged Lv. 68 WAR, guess what you get at Lv. 69; Berserker's Axe! So really this Great Axe will have its 15 minutes of fame.
3.) But you gotta admit though that this is a pretty sweet looking axe, it almost looks demonic with all the curves on its blades. And it matches the Hauberk too!
Either way, I think this is the Great Axe for people who have gone the Rampage route in XP parties and need to get their Great Axe Skillz up for their Maat fight. I kept this Axe for a while before selling it for a cool 35K on Unicorn. Just throwing fellow WAR's some extra's just incase they turned into Rampage whores like myself. Dont pay over 50K for this though, save your money for those other sweet Meat Slicers!
