Speaking of rerolling, I compared
Barb and BM with Axes.
What makes me like BM more are
more convenient AoE's in squad.
Barb's AoE can easily knock group of mobs
out of Seek's vortex reach, and slow down
Seek's damage on them.
(Same as Archer's WingSpan.)
Seek (and Wiz) can sometimes get annoyed by that.
Time that one for moments when you need
two seconds more for charm to tick.

On the other hand, they both can solo alot,
but Barb can solo a little bit more.

For Axes add as much Dex as you need for gear,
everything else to Str.
Unlike the official PWI, here Poleaxe deals same
damage as Dual Axes per hit, but Poleaxe is faster.
