I'm a 73 warrior taru, with a currently gimped great axe skill. I know str is the chief modifier for rampage, and I can currently get 67 +58 str for my WS, with sole +1 included. Decen accuracy, but I still use the fish.

WS Gear:
Main- Maneater
Sub- Juggy
Head- Sipahi (no heca cap or Ace helm/voyager)
Neck- Chiv chain (would a gorget be better here)
Body- Heca Harness (does this outdo Hauby?)
Hands - Heca Mitts
Legs- Barone
Feet- Taru RSE2 (no heca yet)
Ring1- Rajas
Ring2 - Ruby
Back - Forager's Mantle
Ear1- Waetoto's
Ear2 - Fowling (maybe triumph here because I eat sushi?)
Waist- Werewolf

Could someone help me elaborate on my questions? I know g.axe is the way to go, but it's a painfully slow process to raise it, so until then, axe/axe it is.

I only have a sky shell atm, so I may have time to join other endgame in the near future.

Thanks for the help.

WAR can't use Ace's :P

I'd use Haub over Heca, but otherwise looks pretty good for a sushi build.

If you are using sushi, its extremely easy to make gear decisions. Just stack as much STR as you can and try and fill in with attk.

Though I will say IMO axe/axe especially is fairly weak.

Judging by the lvl I will assume you predominately are concerned about an EXP build. Pre-merits GA is a monster. (as well as post 75) You will increase your output simply by changing your weapon.

In my eyes you have 2 options. Settle for an axe/axe sushi build. (yuck) or Skill up your GA and build up your merits so you can use meat. I promise if you do that latter you will be far more happy.
 
If you have sea you can see if any shells are selling Fortitude Axes. I would assume most are free lotted so if you can grab one of these it would speed up your GA skill up process considerably. Also, there is nothing wrong with A/A in the right situations, but GA can be used for all situations where A/A can be used unless your build is specifically for A/A.
 
I would probably go potent > warwolf since hitting all 5 times is more important, also askar helm is a decent choice, also not too hard to obtain. I would def WS in heca though for sure. But yeah just skill Gaxe when you have the time.
 
Level GA and forget about axes.
 
bah, you can do just as well with axe/axe setup as you can gaxe setup /nin.

WS Gear:
Main- Maneater
Sub- Juggy
Head- e abj. head (if in a sky shell should be easy to get) trade for n head when get
Neck- Chiv chain (would a gorget be better here)
no gorget don't work well with muti hit weapon skills, getting sea shell and temp torque works though.
Body- Heca Harness (does this outdo Hauby?) this has do with the need of acc and dex personally i like the harness but in your high str low acc hauby be better
Hands - Heca Mitts
Legs- Barone > when you get haidate use them while yes str is a factor dex play a role as well. If happen get af2 legs before haidate those work well to.
Feet- Taru RSE2 (no heca yet)might be better with amir or e abj feet till you get heca.
Ring1- Rajas
Ring2 - Ruby (get a ring with 5 str there not that much more)
Back - Forager's Mantle
Ear1- Waetoto's
Ear2 - Fowling (maybe triumph here because I eat sushi?)
Waist- Werewolf > go with the potent

It a good str build but have realize with rampage being 5 hit you need also have take in effect crit hit and acc. So dex and acc also play big role in your equipment. have to have a balance.
