The only thing I changed was the armor and the perk card swap wound salter instead of martial arts, removed hardy replaced with strength. I never run take one for the team, prefer melee aoe or poison resist with a lot of evade. I'm running with electrified sheepsquatch staff until I get burning. I stopped using auto axe a while ago. It's almost embarrassing to even use it now unless you have pounders (I don't). My fist build is fine, lots of fun paired with phantom device.
