Build planner

Melee with an axe at Combat Level 6

The strongest gear you can wear at your level, from everything on the wiki: judged by damage per attack (the weapon, its damage bonuses and crits), how often energy lets you attack, and survivability. Rolls count at the middle of their range unless you set your own. Put your own piece in any slot and the planner builds the rest around it; save it to keep it and share it.
