why swords over axe?

[Shadowie]

I realise that for fury sword and axe, the price for sword is higher and more in demand than the axe. The stats show the axe r slightly more powerful and faster instead. Wondering why. Can the expert in this field enlighten me pls. I am refering to the 1h axe and sword for this case.

Wow, yr words enlighten me. I check out yanis pinks thread and realise that the axe dun make the bonus set. Thank you.

The 1H Sword completes the set bonus, while the Axe doesn't.

Also, although the Axe shows higher weapon damage, the Sword gives more skill damage which is more important.

Skill Damage > Normal Attack Damage.

Only if you want to complete the set, IMO.

I personally use an Axe with my Royal Sewer + Bellow Set. Yeah, lower skill damage, but not worth the cost.

About 300k difference I think?
