Level 1 and 2 are absolute must haves, as this increases your damage output and drastically increases your survival.
I go for the shield block increase which basically allows you to back out of any bad situation
Axe slow gives you ample opportunity to close the gap on whoever your fighting and the bleed damage for the left choice just isn't good enough to warrant its selection.
considering you will be using your shield to negate a boatload of incoming damage, I go for the health Regen. This also helps provide a nice dmg boost from your level 10 helix which is based off of current health.
A 15% damage boost for everyone! Bolder shares.
18% damage boost for Bolder! Bolder kills.
More bolderdash = more overshield and more rage. I tend to fight often with the axe so having the 18% damage boost on something you're typically not fighting with can be a bit ineffectual
The potential for an extra 720 health and an additional 14% damage is a no brainer. One tune powered axe toss into oncoming minions basically covers all 5 stacks. Also his axe is prone to disappearing when exploding so the cdr is almost pointless.
Moar health, Moar DPS, More Bolderwrekage. However, If you are the patient and more tanky type. Having the potential for full healage with an ultimate is unbelievable.
For gear, I typically run max health, attack speed, and a no cost shard gen to craft buildables to help speed up leveling.
You can tell what runes are up by looking at your shield and axe. If your shield is glowing your defensive rune is up and your axe means your offensive one is up.
When your rage is active you'll see a blue glow around the edge of your screen.
