Axes
,→Introduction
Surprisingly underpowered, axes are not the best choice for big damage. One-handed Axes have decent damage and attack rate, but can't match the top swords (for Barbarians) or hammers. Two-handed axes are decent damage, but less than spears or polearms, and have much less range, a big consideration for Barbs using Whirlwind.
HK's edit: for classic: nagas (1 handed axe) and ancient axes (AA) (2 handed axe) have no dex req. also, the naga has a range 3 (range 3 is much nicer than the bh=battle hammer BH's range 1) (i think no 1 hand weapons get more than range 3), and AA has a range of 4 (only one less range than max range of 5 like some spears and pole arms ) so they do NOT "have much less range". mace type weapons "have much less range". battle hammer (BH) (1 handed mace type) has range 1 and martel de fer (mart) (2 handed mace type) has only a range of 3. mace type items have least range of all item types. axe type has 2nd greatest range of all item types. some spears and pole arms have the greatest range of 5.
