-There's really not much reason to use the '''Wrath of Trog'''<ref>{{source ref|0.28.0|art-data.txt|202}}</ref> as your primary weapon. Berserkers can just wait for Trog to gift them a decent antimagic weapon that doesn't come with berserkitis, and other melee specialists may wish to use a weapon with a more universally useful brand and not have to worry about going berserk every fight. [[Undead]] species are still unable to berserk, though they might want to use a [[broad axe]] or [[executioner's axe]] instead.

 The berserkitis' activation rate is high enough that it's actually the weapon's best selling point at the same time, at least in the role of secondary weapon. If you have the skill to use it at mindelay, a berserk character wielding it can very quickly take down powerful foes, and the antimagic brand will negate any casting threat your target might have posed. Just avoid using it in situations where berserking would be a terrible idea. Due to the equip penalty, it is a terrible in-battle swapout, though it can be good if you have time to prepare.

It's possible to nerf the berserkitis with an source of [[clarity]] or by worshipping [[Ashenzari]] (or by being undead, but none of the undead races are particularly good with axes), but that restricts an equipment slot or [[god]] choice in exchange for a weapon that's honestly not that great.

-This is one of the oldest artefacts in the game, which perhaps explains its continued existence. In fact, it even predates Trog, existing before gods were implemented, and it is very likely the inspiration for the god. Of the five original artefacts (Wrath of Trog, [[Scythe of Curses]], [[Glaive of Prune]], [[Singing Sword]], and [[Mace of Variability]]), this one has probably changed the least.

-*In [[0.27]], the Wrath of Trog will extend your rage on kills like [[Trog]] or the [[Necklace of Bloodlust]]. It will also receive the [[Rampaging]] ego, and will cause a Berserk cooldown when equipped.
+*Prior to [[0.27]], the Wrath of Trog did not extend your rage on kills like [[Trog]], did not have the [[Rampaging]] ego, and did not cause a Berserk cooldown when equipped.
