As an axe user you want the 5% critical from SPR. Before going full STR, you want to place 25 points into SPR.
The more your axe criticals the further it pulls away from the 2-handers, hammers, and 1-handers league.
If your axe criticals during a power hit, or a precise attack, thats 2000 damage if not more your dealing. Against a cleric its half the amount due to their defence, but a 1000+ damage critical is enough to make them sweat.
As for skill empowermenets, fully empower your power-hit skill. Damage, cool-down, and possibly SP if you want to save yourself some money.
Maximum empower devastates damage, cooldown, and duration.
Maximum empower precise-attacks damage and cooldown.
As an axe user you deal more damage with your devastate than a 2-hander or 1-hander. The reason is because skill damage is additive to the weapons damage. The longer you stun the more you can drench your opponite in overwhelming firepower.
Precise attack is our highest damage dealing skill. However its cooldown is 50 seconds. With its damage and cooldown empowered you can fire it off every 35 seconds.
Power-hit is the highest damaging skill with the lowest cooldown until eradicate comes around. Empowering it allows you to use it 3 or 4 times in a skill spam sequence.
