Versatility with Axe

I've seen Blademail end up too important an asset on Axe to disregard it completely, but appreciate the math for knowing when definitely not to activate it. I've never been able to play Axe very efficiently and this has probably been my issue; I can't believe it isn't touched upon more.

Blademail also returns magical damage, and tower damage - it's a great item for axe.. especially for the hard carries who arm themselves with a crit.
400 crit, reduce to 100, but it will still hurt thier measly 1.2k compared to your 2.5k

This helped my a lot

Isn't Poor Man's Shield truly effective for some agility heroes rather then a strength hero?

You could always use Blademali after Berzerker's Call expires, as that is when Axe is most vulnerable. It's still very effective versus Ursa, Riki, Lycan, and the like as well. I would consider it more of a fallback item on Axe (post Dagger of course) but it's still better than people give it credit for.

I also don't see the point of getting a Poor Man's Shield in general on Axe. You can manage with just the Stout pre-Vanguard, especially if you are jungling. Being forced to dissemble Poor Man Shield's is not only awkward but it also forces you to loss 150g on the Slippers of Agility used to make the item. And if you're not dissembling PMS and just selling it for Vanguard, you're losing even more gold (275g).

Lastly, I can't really recommend Drum of Endurance on Axe. Don't get me wrong; Drum is a borderline overpowered item that goes well on basically anyone. But on Axe, who should have Tranquil Boots/Vanguard/Blink Dagger/Town Portal Scrolls up first, the Drum arguably comes a bit too late.

Despite the above criticisms, I am still +1'ing this/+Rep'ing you. Your Axe is on the right track.

P.S. One more thing; you have seen this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWwiZ_ImDhY) right? Mammoth Axe play by iceiceice vs Absolute Legends, short and sweet.

Why the Poor Man's Shield in the jungle build?

I really like this build, though I don't use it for jungling but i use it for lane. thank you
