## Function

The Axe of Malice has a base attack damage of 20 as well as a right-click, on-demand P.R.O.C that has a Cooldown of 60 seconds. The Cooldown starts as soon as the Axe is used. Each melee kill reduces the cooldown by 1 second to a max of 60 kills, and each bow kill reduces the Cooldown by 4 Seconds to a max of 15 kills. The Axe can roll P.R.O.C's without the use of the right-click function. Once the Cooldown ends a sound cue will play to inform the user and those around them.

Monsters like zombies, skeletons, AIs, goblins, spiderlings, and more have 60% resistance. The Axe of Malice deals 8 damage without a P.R.O.C to these monsters. With a P.R.O.C, the Axe of Malice deals 46 damage. For monsters with 80% resistance, such as villains and other large monsters, the Axe of Malice deals 4 damage without a PROC, about 9 damage with a PROC.

it will take 5 hits to bring down a zombie with their damage reduction. For an Ogre, it will take 12-13 hits, or 4-6 hits with a PROC.

## Pros and Cons

The high base damage and on-demand P.R.O.C are what make Malice one of the most powerful dwarven weapons. It's great at dealing with large hordes of mobs as well as high priority targets as a simple right-click will allow you to one-shot all proccable Mobs for an extended time. With 20 base damage, it is the most effective melee weapon for dealing with unproccable mobs too. It's main advantage is also however its main disadvantage. The trade off for proccing at will is the inability to roll it, meaning a mistimed use could leave you without it for 90 seconds. It also has a high point cost at 24, making it close to half your available points for a custom kit. The Axe of Malice excels where the Greater Runeblade does not but it falls short where the Greater Runeblade excels.
