Frenzy adds over 400 dmg and around 2k attac, and greatly affected by str. Str is also effective when ur mainhand has a lot of physical dmg (I use void halberd), as well as the bonus to Rupture's DoT (which is unresistable). Overall, 100 str are more than it seems, while 100 poison dmg lasts for 15 and cooldown is 45, so in 1 minute u enjoy 30 secs of 100 poison dmg, or in other words, 50 poison dmg added. Str adds physical dmg, which although ppl find it as very little, u have Lure of Assassins + Shatter + Necro dagger skill that stack, easily over 2k resist taken even without the dagger skill, as well as poison is also resisted now except for mordy and hrung and snorri. So overall, if after debuffs Id estimate physical and poison is equally resisted, 60 physical dmg + bonus to skills + 600 hp is convenient using over 50 poison dmg and attack depending on how much u have (for me its a lot more unelixied but only 200 more elixed). Going from 9200 to 9400 attack against lets say 7000 defence boss, its going from 56.79% to 57.31% hit rate, 0.52% hit rate difference, thats not as much as it seems, and I prefer bonus to my Rupture and Frenzy which add attack and dmg. Also, after smoke bomb its even less effective, and if u do both Attack elix and attack pot, the valour is even more superior. Im just out of pots.

To the OP...at level 150 I tried both dagger and axe. Dagger was in every way better than the axe.

The slash str vit axe is the best dps offhand for any warrior who knows what he's doing.

It's not.

How so?

Because that axe does less damage than other offhands. I'm not sure what other answer there is to this.

^^ He said its the best offhand for any warrior that knows what he's doing, if he knows what he's doing than he probably uses that axe more effectively than the dagger and element dmg axe

Well that statement indicates that anyone who uses another offhand doesn't know what they're doing. Having used the poison dagger, the elemental axes, and the slash+str+vit axe, I know which one does the best dmg for me

lets play a game : which class do you most associate with strength and slashing damage?
Which class do you most associate with dexterity and poison damage?
Choose from the options: Rogue or Warrior to answer the above questions.

Aside from it being obvious that a strength an slash weapon is designed with warrior in mind, strength increases frenzy, an adds damage to rupture. It's generally agree by top level warriors on our server that the slash axe is better dps

What in the world does association have anything to do with what gear you should equip. So does that mean a rogue should use a blood thorn set over a warrior because rogue is associated with poison? And does that mean warriors shouldn't use mainhand mord spears because spear is Pierce instead of slash? There's something called preference in game play and thinking outside the box.

Like I said, having equipped and used all 3 and compared stats, I know which did more dmg for my warrior. And the slash axe wasn't what did the most dmg in auto attacks and skills dmg increase.
