I recommend this for a retribution paladin using SoC. The high base damage at that level is great, better than Mograine's Might (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=7723) or Ravager (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=7717). I got it for10g from a friend, so it should be fine to pay around that, or if you find it on a drop than even better.

Definitely a nice 2H for a Ret Pally, Arms War or Enhancement Shammy. People at this level range generally underestimate STR.

Комментарий от 34422

This underestimated two handed axe is capable of inflicting very heavy damage with Mortal Strike, Seal of Command and even Windfury strikes. Due to its very slow speed, high top end damage and a whooping 23STR (which equals to 46AP) it'll make you hit like a truck. Definitely a worthwhile weapon until the player hits level 50. The price also various from servers (about 15g-60g). As a level 51 retribution Paladin, I purchased this weapon back when I was level 39 and it's served me beyond well - I've been scoring up to the 700s with my SoC crits and I've seen other players doing Mortal Strike for just as much. It's also deadly as well for a enhancement shaman when the WF kicks. Slapping on a +7 dmg enchant on this axe is like the finisher on cake :D

Other weapons within the lvl 40s range like Blade of the Titans, Blanchard's Stout, Blight, Ragehammer, Truesilver Champion, Gatorbite Axe, Taran Icebreaker and Warmonger are all good alternatives, but the cleaver is no doubt the best choice if you desire high burst damage. The famous Kang axe (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=2291) is a solid alternative if you're thinking about twinking (otherwise, the cleaver is significanty cheaper and will serve you just as well).

This axe will serve you very well and if you're a lvl'ing up as a ms warrior, ret pala or enh shammy! I recommend you try picking it up if you're within your lvl 40s or even late lvl 30s. Once you reach level 50+, some nice upgrades will be available to you.

Just wanted to add that it can also drop off of the turtles north of Revantusk Village in the Hinterlands. That's where I found one.

Picked this up at 43 and used it until i got Ice Barbed Spear at 52. Great axe and not near the cost as other 2-handers in this lvl range, (like Kang). I would recommend this to any warrior or Pally. Save your money and pick this up if you get a chance.

Комментарий от Bojo

Executioner's Cleaver is better then Kang. Way better. The +23 strength bonus gives 46 attack power, and the +10 hit rating gives around 1.33(333333333333333333) hit chance at level 49. Sure, Kang has more weapon damage and DPS, but the +23 strength and 1.33 hit chance will equal to that in the long run. On the other hand, Kang does have a chance on hit ability. Though you'll have to consider that if you are an imbalanced twink, you will probably kill your enemy way before that proc has faded.

Also, that proc will probably not even happen on your first hit, so the effect will most likely have even LESS time to "finish". And lastly, since the stats on Executioner's Cleaver are 'permanent', you can expect them to help you in every single fight, wich means that Kang, compared to Executioner's Cleaver is based on luck, but The Cleaver is predictable and you don't have to hope for some useless dot. Don't let your eyeballs pot out just because Kang is purple.

Комментарий от Hirotoro

A really nice axe, however if you're an axe kinda guy (like me:) and having trouble finding this axe on your realm, this is a worthy alternative: as a fast axe with good damage. You won't get the big instant attack crits but you will save a fair bit of money and hassle.

Edit: just worth mentioning i believe this axe is only available to horde players

Just to let everyone know and to let wowhead know I got this from a regular chest in dunemaul compound

Комментарий от Kaynos

Just picked that axe from the AH for 40g. It's an awesome weapon and a nice upgrade from the Obsidian Cleaver. +23 Str from damage is awesome. My damage went from 226-277 at 42 with the Obsidian Cleaver to 292-360 with this weapon !

Комментарий от Cyphaze

The 23 strength on this gives it an effective DPS of 45.1, which is comparable to Kang's 47.4. If you consider the fact that this is slower than Kang's and also has hit rating (at a level range where it is very unlikely that you will be hit capped), personally I'd take it over Kang's, especially for a Ret Paladin twink.

The Kang proc is nice, too, but since Kang usually costs three to four times as much for what amounts to a sidegrade at best, this looks to be one of the best 49 twink 2-handers in the game.

Комментарий от Swordy

It's a great weapon, leveled two Warriors to 60 and beyond and I remember worrying about weapon upgrades from the Whirlwind Axe. This is a great upgrade if you can find it cheap, but also consider https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=9413. It's damage is roughly the same and you can use The Rockpounder 3 levels lower. I think the Executioner's Cleaver is better, but just marginally for Warriors.

Комментарий от 127260

On the issue of this vs Kang

First: although Kang only does 2 more dps than this but 2 dps is alot (with 3.6 speed that equates to +7.2 more dmg per swing)

Second: Kang looks cooler and you seem more intimidating with it

Комментарий от 117919

Am gonna put Savagery on it <3

Комментарий от 44717

i have both Kang and Executioner on my 49 twink shaman, i use this far more. Seems to do way more average damage than kang because of Windfury. Kang's proc is worthless it seriously NEVER procs, even if they did, they dont last more than 10 seconds vs me.

Комментарий от miles4607

Dont you guys think the IBS is better?? i mean i rather stick with the Whirlwind axe or dual wield until 51 and then go get the IBS. But thats IMO.

Ima go sell this right now!!!

Комментарий от 148194

As a comparison for those who love dps, I did the math for Soulkeeper (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=1607) versus Executioner's Cleaver. Check it.

(DPS +(AP/14))*weapon speed = Weapon damage

(41.8+(546/14))*3.8=307.04 for Executioner's

(46.6+(500/14))*3.8=312.74 for Soulkeeper.

In short, Soulkeeper will hit a bit harder. However, for twinks, if you're an orc, Executioner's is better because of the 5 expertise you get as a racial. Anyone else doing MS or windfury should be using Soulkeeper.

Hope this helps.

Комментарий от 156459

Twinking thinking...
For twinking I really recommend this weapon; as a warrior or a shaman (and pally?never played one so donno) you'll dubble ATP of the STR so that will give you 46ATP that --what I know-- is around 3.2dmg/hit, by that the weapon will give 130.2 - 194.2 and throw on a +7dmg (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/spell=27967 ) that will give 137.2 - 201.2 damage. If you now compare this to the Kang the Decapitator (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=2291) ) Executioner's Cleaver comes out better with its 1.27%hit@49 and minor parry inc, and Kang only having a minor damage over time and the 0.2sec faster speed ain't worth it.

Executioner's Cleaver+crusade= chance to give 100STR=200ATP for warrior, shaman (and pally?) = +14.28dmg for 15sec. (141.28 - 205.28 Damage for 15sec)
Executioner's Cleaver+Savager= 70ATP=132 - 196 (permanent).

Executioner's Cleaver+Potency=20STR=40ATP for warrior, shammy (and pally?) = 2.8damage/hit. (129.8 - 193.8 Damage)

As for the price compare;
Executioner's Cleaver+Major striking: 45g@AH(pendling/server/seller) + mats for enchant 2large prismatic - around 40-50g, 6greater planar - around 30g, 6arcane dust - around 6g. That will say around "only" 90-135gold.

Kang the Decapitator: 255gold.

Happy pwn'ing! ;D

Hehe.. the though of a shaman/warrior twink running around pwning people with https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=1607) makes me laugh

If i ever have a shaman in this bracket again i will do it!

Комментарий от Shivacode

Leveling a ret pally with this baby, third character to do so (others were MS warr and pre-2.0 enhancement shammy). Although the average price has gone up it's still a fairly cheap weapon for the mileage you'll get out of it. It'll serve you well until you can get your hands on an Ice Barbed Spear, no doubt, and in the leveling crawl that feels like the mid-40s it'll certainly be a trusty companion.

Also great for twinks as noted above, the extra hit rating and AP is much more beneficial than Kang's proc especially if you NEED to land that MS/WF/SOC to take down a flag carrier. Slap Mongoose, Savagery or even Executioner on this puppy and you'll be rocking people in the face.

I picked this axe up really as a backup weap to my taran icebreaker, but as i got more involved in PvP, that using a fast weap like the icebreaker is not ideal for taking out allie scum. thus the cleaver has now become my main weap, and by putting a +25 agi enchant on the badass axe my crit EASILY gets over 1.3k with WF (got to 2.1k once on a clothie). GREAT AXE. period.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I think this axe is crazy for lvl 43 and it may be slow but u hit some crazy ass damage with this but to bad its not a instance drop cause 20g + can be alot at lvl 40+ for training and new gear like plate and mount but totally worth it.

Комментарий от Thottbot

You can usually find this axe pretty cheap, tho its without doubt one of the best 2h weapons you can get before the IBS.

People pay 200-300g for a kang, when this has almost the same damage range due to its slower speed 3.80 vs kangs 3.60. It also adds +1 hit which is +1 to crit if you got 5 or below to hit. On top it also adds a sh't load of str., which will do wonders for AP.

The kang does have a slightly higher damage range, but the proc is dagm near useless on anything that a rogue hiding in the bushes (people by for twinks only, not pve).

TBH I would probably rather equip a 39 twink war/sham/whatever with this then a kang.

And then it costs 1/20 of the price...

Just wanted to add this weapon is the business, have Fiery on it which procs at least once per mob.
Great in pvp, just can't make my mind up now crusade or command, I know crusade gives me an extra 16 DPS, but i do much higher damage when I proc & crit on command.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Statistically, Executioner's Cleaver is the best 2h weapon for the 49 bracket because of the stats and the +hit, especially the latter of which is godly for a twink (it might be slightly less important once 2.3 comes out, and some of the plate items are revamped to have +hit on them, but as of right now...). I see people comparing Exe and Kang all the time, and I really don't know why the debates still continue.

However, the one thing in favor of Kang is that you can practically ALWAYS find one in the AH. Executioner's Cleaver, for whatever reason, is very rare. I've been looking every day for a few months and have seen all of one, which was being sold an a ridiculously exhorbitant price (781g). And Kang is not a bad weapon. It's just not a maximized one for a serious twink. Same as Smite's Hammer isnt bad for a 19 -- it's just inferior to Glacial Stone/Runic Darkblade.

So I suppose it all comes down to just how much having the absolute best of the best gear for the bracket means to each person.

This is one hell of a nice weapon. If yore doing pvp 40-49 range and play a MS warrior or enhancement shaman get it at once, if you see it at AH. Best enchant would be Savagery over time.

23 strength - 46 Attackpower both for warriors and shamans.
3.80 speed almost godlike for high crits with MS or windfury
Hitrating also great for both classes.
With this axe i find myselfe crit higher than with my Kang doing pvp.

Even if you love twohanders when you go pve its a good choice.
But honestly for pve go dualwield.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I got this on my 45 ret pally.. and this is awesome. Im not extremely geared, but I've got some good stuff. My SoC alone crits for 700-800 damage then if that crits with my normal white crit its over 1k damage. Normally I can only top out with vengeance and BoM. However this is still an amazing axe.. screw spending 400g on kang, 40 for this was SO worth it! I'll use this til I get IBS from AV. Retri Paladins FTW!

If you can't get one of the Uldaman weapons (Rockpounder, Stoneslayer), this one is a wonderful alternative. Not only is it super slow for immense high-end damage, but it has a T H I C C 23 strength on it, and even 10 hit rating, which is about 1.5% hit chance at 43. This bad boy will last you into the 50s.
