Axe Mastery is a warrior secondary attribute that deals with axes.

Axe Mastery increases the damage you do with axes and your chance to inflict a critical hit when using an axe. Many skills, especially axe attack skills become more effective with higher Axe Mastery.

— In-game description

[edit] Inherent effect

Each point in axe mastery increases the damage you deal with axes and the chance to score a critical hit while using an axe. Axe mastery will also increase the damage of certain skills, and is also required for some items and skills to take effect.

[edit] Notes

  • Axe mastery skills tend to do higher damage than sword or hammer skills, and its chains tend to focus on the Deep Wound condition.
