I think it is. The battle axe is a good/acceptable weapon, the spider shield has 100 physical protection, and provides defence against poison and toxic damage apart from aoe attacks. As the article states, you can remove an item and fast roll. Also in my opinion your character will look relatively cool in comparison to some of the other classes starting gear, which is a motivational plus for me at the beginning of the game.
