PvE fighter build = Full STR
PvP fighter build = 25 SPR, 50 DEX Rest STR
Full STR was the best PvP fighter build but after cap raise adding 50 Dex becomes the better build since those weapons had their aim nerfed.
Unless you are willing to use 1 hander and shield every now and then don't bother being a full END Axe user as they miss out on one crucial bonus stats that you can only get from using the shield and thats the additional block rate. This is why you also don't see many archers with END in their build they usually go for END on their equipment since the END in the equipment does not give the bonus effects.
Primary use for an Axe is to be a damage dealer therefore you benefit much more with mostly STR in your build since you get the extra free stat bonus from STR with regardless of weapon which you can only get in your build and not equipment but using Axe with a Full END build you miss out on the block rate the END stat in the build provides.
If you were a 1 hand fighter then Full END would be beneficial to you but END on a 2H or Axe fighter is the 2nd most pointless stat to add to your build next to INT
With all the +9s floating around now and all the extra charms and extenders now END isn't as beneficial as it was over a year ago. Well there is always the stat reset items in the CS so if you are unhappy with your build later on you can always change it.
