All one-handed weapons have the same swing speed in Diablo and Hellfire. (May be boosted by faster swing modifiers.)
Blunt weapons deal 50% damage to Animals, 100% damage to Demons, and 150% damage to Undead. This is factored in after all other damage calculations, and makes it so that a blunt weapon effectively does 3x more damage to an undead than would a [[D1 Swords |sword]] of comparable damage. It's recommended that characters use some sort of club against skeletons and zombies, especially low level characters. By the same token, it's wise to switch to a sword when animals are the weapon enemy, such as during most of choice the [[D1 Levels|Caves]] levels. See the [[Diablo Monsters]] page for most melee characters a listing of all monsters by type. Blunts aren't often used outside of the [[D1 Levels|Church and Catacombs]], since there are lots of animals and very few undead found in the Caves or Hell (or the Hive or Crypt, in Diablo and Hellfire), and since the top types of highest damage one handed swords deal do much more damage than any of the blunt weaponsbest one handed blunts.
