hmm, was looking for help on axe vs. sword. All i got was a closed thread and someone telling me to use advanced search. I did!!! spent sometime on here looking for the answer to my question and all i get is a closed thread?
Just want to know which is better, faster? does more damage? was this so hard to answer?
I have tried to use search and if this was such a talked about topic then why am I not getting the threads i need to pop up?

-A disgrunteld Forums user....maybe not anymore, it's not very helpful.

This debate will never end, there is no definitive answer.

sword vs. axe..
intel vs. amd..
ati vs. nvidia..
pie vs. cake..

Just use whichever you like more, and whichever has the skills that you want to use..

well, some of it is a little bit of common sence....

Sword : 15-22
Axe: 6-28

Which do you think does more damage?

Also depends on the mods, sundering, furious, or does it have elemental damage, etc?

Look at the skills for the sword, ie sever artery, gash, causes bleeding, and deep wound.

Look at the skills for axe, ie cyclone axe, evicerate, causing deep wound , weakness, ....etc

It's really on personal preferance, i started with a sword and it was preety good, but now im on to axes, it seems to do better now, for me anyway.

Also the speed, damage, and etc also depends on what your fighting, their armor rating, if you have ele dmg on yer weapon etc, etc, etc.

Trial and error, both weapons are effective in their own ways, it's up to you to decide, cause no matter what anyone says, your weilding the wepon not anyone else, go play, pratice, and figure it out for yourself, whats best for you.

Search can be very powerful if you learn how to use it correctly. Searching for keywords "axe sword" in Q&A and Glad Arena:

The other reason I closed the thread was because the Axe vs Sword debate gets repetitive. Closed.
