i was wondering if anybody could help with some advice. My melee fighter is going to use an axe as a mq weapon and i was wondering if it is best to use a strength armor to go with it or use an ee tank armor? am i better using a str armor because it will help with higher consistent axe damage or would ee be better? any advice appreciated thanx:)

You can go either way.

It is all based on preference.

I prefer the Str armor because when I play I usually go 100-120 dex and the rest str

JeremyLepage used to run a Barb set-up using EE axes and armor, and a str charm.

Worked out pretty well for him. But again, it is all preference.
