skirmish: increase difficulty lvl.

[Molly_Millions]

if you put 50 emnity on an ax then you get a 5% add to you enmity. I think you would get more then 5% enmity in damage alone using garuda over giants. Nerfed stats and nerfed WS is -emnity.

That's only true if your stats are capped, and as I said, most people don't have capped stats with Garuda's axe. It's much easier to cap you stats with the skirmish axe, making the additional enmity that much better. For a more realistic comparison as it applies to most players, parse damage with Garuda's axe with 10-20 STR below cap and compare that to the same gear but with the skirmish axe. You'll see that they are comparable.

I also disagree with the sentiment that the axe with enmity is the only useful skirmish weapon. The WHM staff with VIT added is also extremely useful in certain situations.
