EDL shield is rather superior to any lux offhand on necro especially. The runic dagger of spite is already superior to axe, so if EDL shield is superior to the dagger on a certain boss, the edl shield is superior to the axe as well. For mordy I do enjoy the dagger tho as she doesnt seem as tough against physical dmg and also shes weak to poison, while shes very strong to elemental dmg.
All EDLS I prefer my dagger offhand too (and I have a kill on every edl main other than 190 [he was so annoying we never bothered killing him] more than once [except 185 we stopped killing him early]), on hrung the dagger is also stronger due his weakness to poison (more than his weakness to elemental dmg) and with pierce lure + shatter the pierce isnt as heavily resisted. On Proteus Id probably use an edl shield as u need to bash too, but I havent bothered checking much how effective is dagger on him nor how resistant he is to elemental dmg. We didnt kill gelebron yet so theres that too but I believe an edl shield would be stronger on him and more effective due bash.
Overall I tested the axe and I was rather disappointed, I didnt like it at all other than the rather high attack boost, I use the dagger (dont have edl shield yet) and have a kill on 185, 195, 200, 205, 210, 215, mordy, necro, aggy, skain, smolach (ostara dragon) and I think that sums it up for the important kills since u5 (unless u wanna count dls too).
Btw, Ive seen several warriors getting kills on big bosses, but I have a policy for myself, I dont consider my kill legit if I hadnt contributed on adds as much as others unless all adds were tanked, that means, adds called by mordy I'll always attack, I go to kill necro's mages even if I dual or tri log, I'll kill adds on any boss that requires so, and if I still get kill then I'll consider it my kill. If I had gotten the kill on mordy for example being on mordy only, Id not consider it as one of my kills.
EDIT : timmy, u said '200 divine dmg is all you get though from edl shield', but wouldnt that be underestimating divine dmg? The only fully unresisted dmg on chaos bosses? Necro's resist are very high, I would say its his hp that is rather low if to be honest, divine dmg on necro is by far the most effective than on any other boss.
