Hello again! I was wondering about the axe craft, if you can afford to skip the int wouldn't this be a better option for crafting a "naked" fortify base?

The vaal axe crafted axe with:

2 to Level of Socketed Support Gems

Adds (18–24) to (36–42) Physical Damage

(13–16)% increased Attack Speed
+(13–18)% to Quality

(10–12)% chance to deal Double Damage

Can have multiple Crafted Modifiers

Seems to be a big difference in DPS compared to the same axe crafted with:

2 to Level of Socketed Support Gems

Adds (18–24) to (36–42) Physical Damage

(16–20)% increased Attack Speed

+(21–25) to Intelligence
+(15–18)% to Quality

Can have multiple Crafted Modifiers

I have asked this question multiple times and no one seems to know the answer and the guide doesn't reflect how good the double dmg could be as 10% is a huge DPS increase. Also adding Hits cannot be evaded lets you swap out of RT and get another huge increase since you can crit and frees up skill points.

With the changes that give the best DPS possible my Axe would look like this

Vaal Axe

Socketed Gems are Supported by Level 20 Fortify
134% increased Physical Damage
{crafted}Hits Cannot Be Evaded
{crafted}(13-16)% increased Attack Speed
{crafted}(15-18)% to Quality
{crafted}(8-10)% Double Damage
{crafted}Adds (18-24) to (36-42) Physical Damage

The axe above is Far superior to the other ones people are crafting here when plugged into PoB but I have 2 issues crafting it. First is that POB doesn't seem to be calculating +2 to Level of Socketed Support Gems properly and while melee gems don't add nearly as much power as caster gems do hitting 21 level gems and making them 23 does get you to a few new thresholds. Second is that all the numbers in PoB don't ever add up to real world experience and I wish more people had testing with this setup. I see a bunch of these axes on high lvl players but none of them speak up on these forums.

At the end of the day it is always personal choice but number wise Hits can't be evaded and double damage add up to blockbuster numbers in POB and I assume one person made an axe and everyone followed lead before really testing but who knows
