The Burning Axe of Sankis

Suppressing pain amid the flames

The Burning Axe of Sankis gives you the chance to suppress your pain when you are hit, a situational defensive effect that can create a cushion against sudden spikes in hectic moments. Combined with the bonus to fire skills, this yields a profile of offense and occasional protection.

Because the axe heavily emphasizes fire damage, it belongs in fire-based setups, such as a Barbarian or Crusader who aligns their abilities to the fire element. My tip: treat the pain suppression as a welcome extra, not as reliable defense, because it only kicks in sometimes. You draw the real value from the fire damage bonus, so tune your active skills consistently to fire so the axe unfolds its full offensive use.
