i dout impact will take it off. u have to jack car up and put a punch in the rotor so it holds on the caliper preventing the hub from turning and jump on that bitch with a breaker bar and the jack handle over the breaker bar. this has never failed me

i wouldn't use a torch as your first solution. i'd save that till last if nothing else works.
just my opinion- i wouldn't want to be heating up/changing the characteristics of the grease in your wheel bearings by soaking the axle nut in heat to get it loose. try an impact first, or what mark said with the punch through the rotor.
