Another Offhand Axe question with a twist (Advice needed)

I plan to get an offhand axe and I apologize, I am asking the question of which is better fire, cold, magic (Lvl 100 axe) but with some added information.

I solo primarily and do not, nor do not plan on my own volition use lix until I reach lvl 150

My Clan primarily has Mages who are Ice users

I spend near all my time soloing Boggans, currently at the lvl 135 camp, who spit fire.

From my research on these forums I have gathered this data, to show that I am not wasting your time
Solo = Magic
Fire = If you have Fire users
Cold = If you have Ice users

That being said, here are my thoughts

The Fire Axe has Fire resist, which I imagine is helpful against
The Boggans who are torching me while I solo (Red Boggans at 135 Camp)
Aggorath (spelling) that dragon in OW that I need to assist my clan in killing

But I hear that mages who use fire are to not use fire attacks on Pyrus, I have asked and was told that a fire axe still does damage on Pyrus, need confirmation from experts on this.


If I go Ice, this will be an advantage on boss encounters, yet is it worth passing on my previously stated fire resist advantage?


Lastly, the magic axe, is the magic resist any useful from 130 to 150?


Thank you in advance, I plan to buy the axe in around 8 hours


P.S. My previous offhand is a golden ice trident, if that means anything

Warmly, Farmer

The data is correct, and I would recommend either magic or ice.
The fire boggans don't really do that much damage with the fire spit thing, around 80 to me...but if you find it's a problem, go for the fiery

Since you'll be soloing a lot, go for magic. The resist isn't really needed, but I find i do about 50 more dmg with arcane than fiery or freezing (this is without lures). Magic is more of a solo dps offhand imo

Or, if you change your mind and level with those ice mages, go for freezing (I recommend leveling with those mages, as your on fire boggans)

Idk anything about pyrus, Im pretty sure that those people are correct and only fire spells heal

PS
please do continue your Farmer journal, as many of us are anticipating the next part

id go with magic or ice

ice if you boss more and dont really focus on grinding day by day
magic if you plan on leveling more than bossing

as the other guy said the fire doesnt really do much/not worth it

u answered urself, u got more ice mages over fire, that already means that u shouldnt choose fire
now the only thing left is not bossing, dont give a crap about that untill ur done lvling, what left is the rate of lvling with those mages

if u lvl with ice mages very often, freezing axe, if not / solo, magic.

Considering your from danu i barly see any ice mages. All mages in prime 90% are fire mages so i suggest fire axe
