Messerschmidt's Reaver is an elite unique Champion Axe from Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. Rather similar to fellow unique axe Hellslayer, Messerschmidt's Reaver gives a very large bonus to Maximum damage that grows with higher levels. However, Messerschmidt's Reaver can be seen as a "safer" weapon for several reasons: it has a higher minimum damage, is less dependent on added Fire damage, and it is also slightly faster, allowing for more hits when compared to the Hellslayer.
