make it holy, acid burst, then double shard insight +4 for min II
Okay I made the holy/acid/insight axe but my slots are all screwed up again.
Now that I'm not using the Levik's bracers/Sovereign tier rune to get +3 insight bonus to AC anymore, I can wear Chaosgarde for +2 to AC. But I have +6 STR on my Levik's bracers, so I have to use Gloves of the Titan's Grip for the +6 STR.
My +6 DEX was on my gloves, so now I have to shift that to +6 DEX boots, so I can't swap to Spectral Gloves without losing +6 STR. Having DEX on boots means I can't have 30% striding on always and would have to find a slot for DEX when I do ToD, so I have to shift something to a ring slot.
I have +15 Intimidation on one slot and Ring of Balance on the other. I could put a +6 STR or DEX ring on, but that means losing +13 Balance and permanent +2 natural armour. I don't mind the armor so much, because barkskin will cover it, but the hit to Balance is bad. So I ended up replacing the Ring of Balance with a 30% striding ring and will have to either get a +6 STR/DEX ring for ToD, or just do the end fight with less 3 less AC. It's only a temorary fix because that slot is ultimately reserved for Cinder's band.
I know striding isn't necessary, but it really helps in a lot of situations, especially when not hasted in stalwart stance or just for general mobility in combat.
