No it doesn't. You've said this before with no factual evidence.

I think all 3 warrior weapons are on par with each other. Its down to what u like to wield. DS is very good in pve but that does not rander hammer or axe less effective or useful. If DS is as good as what so many people think, it should have been nerfed long ago like the other unbalanced skills.

I just love axe. They're big and I love AoE damage~

it just seems numbers are higher when hitting casters with axe, maybe due to lower armour and the range of dmge an axe does (it kinda makes sense rlly), but it seems higher.

Just to clarify.

When hitting a foe with 60armor with an Axe vs a Sword.

IF both attacks result in critical hits then the axe, witch has a higher dmg rating, will deal more damage.

However the same is true regarless of the armor of the target, ie at 100armor a crit hit from an axe deals more dmg than a crit from a sword.

The average dmg however is more equal, the sword deals more constant damage, ie the same numbers with a small variance(1-5 or there about) and the axe has a much larger range dealing both higher and lower amounts of damage in each hit vs the sword(1-15 or there about)

If you never critical on a hit then the sword will deal more damage in the long run. As the number of critical hits increases the amount of damage of the axe begins to catch up and pass that of the sword.

Indeed.
