torques

So I was psyched about getting my Temperance Torque, because I thought that more axe skill meant more base damage. I got this idea from my monk experience, where hand-to-hand base damage was affected by hand-to-hand skill...but according to Wiki, axe skill doesn't work that way. Can someone...

I been away from the game awhile and I dont know much about sea gods. Are any shells selling the Sea Torques yet? If so how much would they go for? A mill? a few mill?

I reached RDM 65 for awhile now and I was wondering if I should save for an Enfeebling torque or just buy a Spider Torque. I have enough for the Spider, it is the Enfeebling one that is 500k out of my reach. And if I were just to use the Spider, how long should I use it till I get my Enfeebling?
