If you do 14 or less rounds of combat then a fighter splash works better. If you do 14 or less rounds of combat then a fighter splash works better. For more damage you could add Savage Attacker(better mechanically than lucky) witch would add about 1.625 damage per round to the ax welding full barbarian meaning that you would need to have 13+ rounds of combat between rest for the barbarian to do more damage per round.</blockquote>
