It really depends what you're looking for. If you want to wait for the proc to do something after you already killed everything, sure go with hail. Otherwise, use Judge, since the proc of this one is a lot better. Plus you can get lots of mo's on it. In case you don't want to use that either, use judge (xis), which is a lot stronger.

If that proc is your only reason to go with hail, do it. But judge has (imho) a better clearspeed with noctule, since the proc itself already increases the damage you deal by more than 50%. All the time. Even against bosses. And it helps you clearing the melee enemies a lot better.

Another option would be a crafted claw ofc. (can reach up to 190 max damage and +5 assa skills and various procs such as Balefire.)

What are you comparing the defense to? Unarmed defense or socketed weapon with runes? If it's the former I'd make a bug report. The latter is pretty obvious.


Well with a full character of runes, my Tcd is unchanged with or without the axe according to D2stats.
The bonus should be 84% with my 21 equipped runes (including 1 in the axe itself) but with the increase of only 10k Def with the axe equipped that doesn't seem accurate unless I'm just butchering the math.

It's not TCD. Runemaster affects base defense before TCD.

Okay that explains the massive jump from Runemaster but the axe doesn't seem to be giving a bonus properly. When I get home I'm going to run a test with runemaster at the bonus percentage to see if I'm just doing the numbers wrong

quick meth:

With Runemaster:
(Total Item Defense+(Dexterity/4))*(R*RMlvl)+Total Item Defense+(Dexterity/4))*(Total Character Defense)+(Total Item Defense+(Dexterity/4)*(R*RMlvl)+Total Item Defense+(Dexterity/4)) -- Assuming Runemaster is applied before TCD.

Without Runemaster:
(Total Item Defense+(Dexterity/4))*Total Character Defense+(Total Item Defense+(Dexterity/4))

Make Nef Staff for Blink charges on switch or get Jitan charm from torajan jungles for teleport.
