Dark And Darker Why Double Axe Is The Hardest Hitting Weapon For Barbs

Hello Everybody I thought Id Share this information about double axe I am suprised not many people are using it with how much damage it does per swing with the axe perk.

Skinny Pete’s merch should say “Thank you goblins”

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Yea if I get popular enough I got some funny shirt ideas

[@FishAesthetic]

Aha so happy to see this. But honestly, Pete, I think any weapon is viable in your hands. You just know how to play and space so well. You could probably use a foam pool noodle and kick ass

[@dragon55001]

Next video: Guys I had a realization. Foam pool noodle meta is back!

[@Skinny_Pete_]

While I can make anything look good while dodging I mainly want to show the true potential of these underutilized weapons because they can all be terrifying in the right hands.

[@Rosspkc]

zip him back up while ur done bro

[@FishAesthetic]

@@Rosspkc sorry for saying nice to things to other people

[@_yordie]

not if you play rogue

[@slyguyxbl288]

Really loved the pvp montage while also showing the loot afterwards, sub from me earned

[@BaygelTheDog]

that sparky moment was hilarious XD

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Yea it's funny we just found each other randomly

[@channic6047]

Bro really just said. “What? Hoh?”

[@juiceyspice8671]

Emaciated Peterson, a double axe is better than a single axe. Thus will a triple axe be even better?

[@Skinny_Pete_]

I guess if they ever add a triple axe then sure. But the main point was to show barbs axes are probably the best tools to spec into atm

[@dorrelmatad160]

Something else to consider, u get the HEADSHOT damage perk which is huge when ur talking about percentages. The right click is 115% on the FIRST swing while war maul and bardiche only have access to 100% on the first swing and that right click is almost impossible to miss head with cause of the swing pattern unless they lean back, so double axe always hits the hardest.

[@NeedBackup_]

Range for the weapon is way too important. You get way more hits in with Zwei/Bardiche

[@Skinny_Pete_]

True but I wanted to demonstrate the axes huge power difference at the cost of extended range. Because sometimes you will need it to get past heavily armored opponents

[@will0]

the underwater kill was so funny

[@Skinny_Pete_]

He couldn't hear me approaching since you can't hear anything in the water

[@igoralecu6673]

9:03 real repoze fan right there

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Well at least he fought back unlike most rogues so must be a good influence

[@machineelflabs334]

the axe does hit really hard, i think this build would be even better with rage as it is the new high dps "you get hit, you die" weapon

[@Skinny_Pete_]

I'll leave the extra experimentation to the other barbs who pick this up. I just love blood exchange to much to get rid of it.

[@NINJAgamerpt]

@@Skinny_Pete_ u should try rage and blood exchange with trechourous lungs maybe would be a cool varient for your playstyle. maybe it is not worth idk

[@anarchychicken69]

LOL, I put an axe up the market place and I 99% sure it's this double axe. Same rolls. I just wanted to get it out of my stash and sold it for cheap.

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Well that one double axe caused so much blood shed so hopefully your happy with the results of your actions

[@sethlaurie8726]

This is YOUR responsibility. I hope you feel proud

[@Skinny_Pete_]

@@sethlaurie8726yea double axes doubled in price since this video and i find it funny i keep doing this. felling axe went from 99g to 300+ after the felling vid i did.

[@hsqqq]

What is your setup? Like the pen mouse and "keyboard" idk what to call it lol. Also love your vids love it when you pull out the torch to chase seems the best 1 hand weapon is torch😭

[@senokir335]

On the left is an Azeron keypad and on the right is a Huion tablet

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Ye thanks for the support and me and this torch has destroyed so many people it's why I always keep it around it's my backup tool

[@zelen324]

gg i was the slayer at 12:15 was not expecting to get hit on the 2nd hit

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Yep gg no hard feelings had to demonstrate the double axes power its really good against Slayer fighters

[@JordieLifts]

He must been under water irl because he didn't even hear you talking to him in the last clip lol

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Yea must have been a filter while talking in the water so probably why he couldn't hear me

[@lazyman7806]

Your turning into the dark and darker technoblade and I love it

[@mikahoolwerff3563]

so just cuz of the controller? kind of a weird take idk.

[@sammyrodriguez4625]

How did u jump so high on the rogue

[@anarchychicken69]

I have a question does Buff Duration work on barb roars? I am guessing yes?

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Not sure it could work but I'd suggest asking someone because I got no clue

[@ns-Nishy]

@@Skinny_Pete_ it does

[@ohmy9672]

me and my duo saw you in crypts a good 30 minutes ago, we we're the two lizard babrs that yelled at you and killed your cleric

Why you did you have to kill my cleric that was toxic :(

what hardware do you use for your setup

It's a Azeron keypad cyborg and huion drawing tablet

[@toddroy3985]

@@Skinny_Pete_ how long have you had it? would you recommend?

[@NiaZira]

I think about it too then i looked at horseman axe and WHY the fuck is this so bad , even with axe perk it deal less than a club

[@Skinny_Pete_]

It's really good because it's swinging a lot faster than a club sure might be doing slightly less than the slow club the DPS is really good on it.

[@debeschko5954]

Why do people stack the Candy so weirdly does it give more ap or are they afraid of pickpockets?

[@danyyy_8733]

yes it gives more ap filling multiple slots then having one big stack

[@andrewmuccillo]

As good as the +5 wep dmg, I don't like that there's only a very few limited weapon specialized talents, especially when barb has access to such a wide array of weapons. Same for fighters, only sword and dual wield specializations. Wish there was talents for quarterstaff, bardiche, maul/club ect

[@satanshousewife3878]

"3 tapped, just like that" Damn, you sure showed that bard. A legendary buckler you say?! How'd you manage to take down that behemoth!?!?

[@Skinny_Pete_]

In the clip the bard was health stacking and the buckler gives him a good bit of pdr. Was a demonstration about the damage since if I used zweihander would have taken 4 to 5

[@VSM_Michael]

did you run this in solo cypts and die to a slayer fighter above mummy and spidder place if so i fought you and won.

[@falconettimartellatori4455]

i used the double axe before, why people have so much trouble dodging the second hit?

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Probably just people aren't adjusted to it yet

[@shhea]

Epifamy? Hahaha. Please tell me that was some kind of inside joke Pete ;)

[@P_i_Hong]

Physical damage reduction would be low, so why is bow damage so useless against goblin archers?

[@Skinny_Pete_]

They changed how bows work they have damage fall off depending on distance so most likely why your arrows not doing a ton of damage far away

[@P_i_Hong]

@@Skinny_Pete_ What is the movement speed when a two-handed weapon is equipped?

[@Skinny_Pete_]

​@@P_i_Honglike around 98% move speed with sword out

[@MrBlaziner]

WHAT KINDA BUILD U ROCKIN FOR THIS?

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Just savage, robust, axe specialized, and crush to get as much pvp as possible

[@Skinny_Pete_]

@@MrBlaziner uhhh I just invest as much agility as possible

[@Stronk_Barb]

I love these videos so much just because it shows all the toxic meta slaves that you really can do whatever feels best for you as long as you practice. God forbid people dont do the cookie cutter build fotm crap 😑 so fufilling watching you bisect these people 😂

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Yep pretty much all the tools in this game have something going for it. The axes sacrifice range and speed for drastically more damage so now I've shown this more way for people to express themselves in how they like to play if they prefer this style.

[@TehAlux]

Sparky! Lol

[@damjnet8751]

I swear this class has to get the nerf stick pretty hard. 160hp, more MS than everyone, more damage than everyone, and you are not wearing 2 pieces of gear aha xD. Not to take away from your skills, but everytime I see one of your vid I get sad for every victim, it's not like they could do anything lol.

[@Skinny_Pete_]

True but I have 0 pdr so I actually only take like 3 to 4 hits to kill I'm only achieving that move speed because I sacrificed all the main armor pieces.

[@Drathrin]

why do people split up their candies?

[@PuaGOD_]

more ap, each candy is 15ap if you split it you get more

[@SpaceCannons]

Seems underwelming still. Zwi will 2 or 3 shot everyone without pdr as well and you dont beed to use a perk or worry about sour spots and low range.

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Well with dragging the swing you can get around sour spots and zweihander still does has one it's just better than double axe but works the exact same way

[@cyrusstoke11]

This aint new, they nerf axe spec into he ground and meta changed, they just unerfed it

[@peaglock3488]

Can tell the double axe is not used that much when you got a few kills of people ducking right into a headshot lol

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Oh well they will learn today that's for sure

[@alarex8204]

Probably in anticipation of nerfing throwables, because barbs cannot get nerfed without buffs

[@jonb6564]

haha! yes.

[@Skinny_Pete_]

People requested for double axe video so I shall provide as such

[@kennanulrich4521]

Also that -40 instead of -45 is fantastic

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Ye not only does double axe do more damage than the other legendary item variants at purple it's more light weight. Do expect this to get popular

[@add9319]

Barbs can equip straw hats!?

[@Skinny_Pete_]

It was a copper straw hat which they can equip

[@tiredtyrant370]

I really am tired of the jumping like a idiot in fights. It just makes high level Pvp so damn clumsy.

[@ItsAbility]

I wanna see you get a bunch of kills on a class that isn't barb tbh it's really easy to wipe solo lobbies on barb let's see some gameplay where you actually have to work for the kills not just w key

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Well I mean I already did vids on fighter and proved zweihander better on fighter atm so already something I proved

[@RastaPapst]

i ask myself if barbarians and fighters actually think they win by having skills, or are aware that they just fully abuse the most broken systems in this unbalanced game

[@Skinny_Pete_]

Don't know for sure if it's broken just thought I demonstrate to barbs there's more to this class than franni spam

[@RastaPapst]

@@Skinny_Pete_ funny thing is that your build is buffing francisca spam, the next totally broken thing on fighter and barbarian and to be sure the class is broken; all the available playtest data shows how barbarian is messed up and on top, then he got achilles strike on top of that, lizard further buffs the speed of barbarian on top of that, a ability that reduces physical power of enemies by 50% on top of that, but i can respect using blood exchange instead of rage and the bobbing and weaving tough. Thanks for the demonstration

[@luminite1633]

Nah warmaul hits harder

[@Skinny_Pete_]

The double axe has more weapon damage and it might be true since war maul has a little armor penetration. The double axe is a lot faster so it's way better
