Maybe there's some function in a A/W Hammer warrior. Axes wouldn't get much out of A/W unless there's a radical change in axe skills in Factions.

No, they don't. Either go fraps it and come back with proof, or stop posting that.

axes more dmg (not taking minimals and criticals into consideration)= balanced

You have to take criticals into consideration for dps. Your argument is absolutely pointless without the numbers to back it up. Therefore axes win, but not by much.

3.swords can bleed axes cannot=swords win

Bleeding is a minor condition, it's Deep Wound that kills. Axes have an easier Deep Wound so axe wins.

4. swords have the ripostes axes do not= swords win

And you can't use Shield Bash with hammers, so obviously hammers are inferior.

Quote:

5. for axe to be good u need exe-evic combo which takes ur elite away swords dont need an elite unlees u like HB= swords win

The only decent argument here, although there aren't that many other good elites for Warriors to bring. If you're going to have a damage-dealing Warrior you might as well bring an Elite for it.

6. in PvP a sword warrior sometimes get kicked >_< axe warriors are kept for thier dmg superiority= axes win

Getting kicked out of a team has nothing to do with actual weapon function.

Wtf..?

From a PvE prespective, sword seems to be much better than axe when dealing with melee mobs. Riposte and Deadly Riposte were really beefed up in the last patch, blocking attacks and dealing 70+ damage to the attacker per blocked attack. At only 4 adrenelin, Riposte cycles very fast. This is how sword tanks solo sand wurms in under 30 seconds.

Axe is better for directed spike damage due to Evicerate. Cleave adds more raw dps without depending on deep wounds.

The Ripostes are a nice asset for sword users in PvE, but the same argument can be made for Cyclone Axe for axe users, since it frees up your elite slot to take Gladiator's Defense instead of of Hundred Blades. Again, there is no clear winner here.

rofl

i started out as a swordie, then changed to axe, changed back to sword, saw that im not dealing as much daamage as before, switched back to axes and loved it.

IMO. Swords are for people who like to play with conditions(bleeding, cripple etc.) and more for PvE (Riposte and Deadly Riposte)

Axes are for those who love to hack away their enemies hp at a fast rate. Deepwound!

For those who say swords can cause deepwound too!

Swords: Sever + Gash = Deepwound (11 Adrenaline Total)
Axes: Eviscerate/Dismember = Deepwound (8 or 7 Adrenline Total)

basically, try both, and see which you prefer.
