What is the best equipment/rotation for a level 120 Elite Knight using Axe?

Question

Hello guys, I'm starting to play my EK again and i would want to ask what is the best gear for an Axe using EK that's level 120?

Also, how do you actually hunt? do you use smps and span exura + exoris? do you use HP potions to heal?

two handed or one handed?

thanks in advance!

Answer 1

It all comes down to:
- Do you hunt alone?
- Do you want to profit hunt or go for maximum exp?
- What skills do you have?

Basically if you want to hunt alone and have decent skills, you can go with a Demonwing Axe. If you plan to hunt spawns that hit you harder you can also not use the critical imbuement and go for life leech + mana leech on it. If you hunt with a Druid or in a team, just go for mana + crit.

Basically for solo hunting you want to have 2x life leech and 2x mana leech and mostly hunt in spawns where you don't need to use health potions because every time you use a health potion, you will have less mana which means you cant heal yourself with attack spells.

In the end, trying out and hunting spawns you are able to hunt always comes down to the skills of your knight and how comfortable you will be on it as well. So I would say, just try it out and see what you can do or what way is the best way for you. :)

The rotation is just 3 spells. You want to use exori, exori gran and exori mas. mostly i start with exori mas and exori since not all the monsters will be on you. If they are all are exori gran, exori, exori mas (or exori min if only a few are left).

That is all you have to do. If you want to utito you have to renew it every 5 spells, same for exeta. No magic you just have to see what is best for you.

Answer 2

A friend started rotation with exori because of mana. Exori gran will always deal more damage, but in this level your mana pool is low. So the rotation he uses is utito, exori, exori gran, exori, exori min, exori gran, exori, exori min. Try to walk to make sure your min will hit 3 monsters. Use your weapon attack to balance the life of monsters and kill them together always as possible.

At higher levels, the strongest combo for mobbed places is exori gran, exori mas, exori    Exori gran, exori, exori mas, Exori gran, exori, exori min. Always keeping utito on.

For bosses the rotation is exori gran, exori min, exori.
