Hammer is preferable to Axe because of the backsnare.

Or play against a group like that? I have. Absolute devastation. The group that runs up against them can't kill them fast enough because smite clerics have sooooooo many tools at their disposal combined with decent ranged damage with 8 of them dudes doing it!

Troll zerk >> other races And the best spec is split hammer/axe for utility (backsnare hammer at lvl 29) and full slash damage (axe) There was a time when Uthgard 1.0 existed and maaaany toons and arrpees arose... but now:

Other than that a troll will outdamage a dwarf. The spec mentioned above is indeed the best. In defense of truth-to-experience.

Norseman would be okay too, only 30 str missing, but 40 is a little bit too much dmg-loss. 42 Axe could max your dmg out with SPlitspec, didn't thought of that. Worth a try.
