Notes

---------LEVELLING---------
1-12: Ground Slam w/ any 2H weapon
12-28+: Sunder w/ any 2H weapon 
28+: Boneshatter w/ 2H axe & allocate Inexorable, Tribal Fury (w/ +1 target mastery) & Call to Arms, as well as put Ancestral Cry on left-click!

 Boneshatter links:
(4L) melee physical damage, ruthless, close combat
(5L) +  impale
(6L) + brutality

Your WEAPON is the most-important gear piece while leveling (best damage + attack speed 2H axe as possible.)
For the rest of your gear, fill out the necessary socket colors &  links FIRST... THEN get as much life & resistances as possible.

For the PASSIVE TREE, path towards Inexorable, Tribal Fury & Call to Arms. Once you have all 3, you can drop Sunder for Boneshatter (and put Ancestral Cry on left-click.)
Other than that, simply grab damage nodes if you need to kill better or defense nodes if you need to live better!

---------GEARING (maps)---------

WEAPON: any 2H axe >500 physical DPS (pDPS) & >1.4 attacks per second (APS). Despot Axe is ideal.  (Boneshatter requires high trauma stacks for single target damage, so high base attack speed matters a LOT!)

HELM, BOOTS & GLOVES: spell suppression > resistances > life > accuracy / attack speed > attributes.   ****MUST BE ARMOR/EVASION or PURE EVASION base-type! NOT JUST ARMOR!****

BODY: armor > life >  additional physical damage reduction >  resistances. Glorious Plate is ideal. (Your Ascendancy node, Unbreakable, doubles the armor from your body, so get as much as possible!)

RINGS & AMULET: resistances > accuracy / attack speed > life > attributes. Amethyst Rings & Turquoise Amulet are ideal.   ****GET ONE ROLL OF "x% Physical Damage leeched as mana" IN ANY RING, AMULET, JEWEL OR GLOVE SLOT!****

BELT: resistances > life > attributes > armor. Stygian Vise (w/ Murderous Eye Jewel) is ideal.

---------ENDGAME WEAPON CRAFT (SSF/poor bois)---------
1) spec into Betrayal, Essences & Harvest on Atlas Tree
2) farm Deafening Essence of Contempt (upgrade lower-tier Contempts) & T3 Aisling on Research

*** if Aisling is NOT on Research, de-rank her [no stars] & try to hit Research encounters first. Once Aisling is on Research, execute her until T3 (3 stars.) She does NOT need to be Research leader - just 3 stars! ***

3) use Deafening Contempts on i83+ Despot Axe until ONE OPEN PREFIX & ONE OPEN SUFFIX (essence phys + another NON-CRAFTED, NON-%PHYS prefix [hybrid %phys/acc is fine!])  
4) bench-craft ANY suffix to fill final suffix
5) take 2 prefix, 3 suffix (one crafted) i83+ Despot Axe to T4 Research Aisling bench (she will be T4 automatically in the Mastermind Safehouse])
6) pray & hope to hit a veiled prefix AND keep essence phys

*7) repeat steps 1-6 if essence phys is removed OR veiled suffix is added

8) unveil & take ANY %PHYS mod - %phys/impale is ideal
9) bench-craft "prefixes cannot be changed" (suffix; 2ex cost) ***DO NOT FORGET OR SKIP THIS****
10) harvest craft "reforge speed", pray & hope to hit decent attack speed (t3+) 

*11) repeat steps 9 & 10 if bad AS roll & open suffix (or yolo annul if you're a baller) 

12) bench-craft "deal double damage while focused" if open suffix (yolo annul, again, if you ball)
13) if you somehow still have an open prefix (T4 Aisling removed it), yolo slam & pray for hybrid "%phys/acc" OR wait for a Warlord's Exalted Orb to drop, slam it & pray for %phys/AS (GL lol)
14) GG! you now have a 800-900pDPS axe w/ impale and 25% double damage
