I've been trying to puzzle this out, so I thought I'd ask the group. Here are the stats for the two one-handed, str-based fortified weapons:
Fortified Gemstone Battle Axe - 116-136 Damage, 0.9 Speed, 14 Str, 8 H/s, 12 Armor
Fortified Gemstone Sword - 120-128 Damage, 1.0 Speed, 14 Str, 8 H/s, 12 Armor
The two are identical except that the axe is faster and has a wider damage range. This means the axe has higher DPS along with its higher max damage. So this means if you had both weapons, you'd always use the axe right? The sword has no advantage to it. Am I missing something? Why would anyone ever use the sword over the axe?
