axes being unwieldy and unbalanced is actually a misnomer, symmetrical shaped axe heads were actually very well balanced.  They are much more balanced than something like a morningstar or bardiche


I agree 1h & 2h should get a dmg boost

True that. But try gripping it like how the 2h anim does it on an axe.

 :lol: Have fun.

Only throwing axes and a handful of 1h type axes are really balanced.

Really the standard "wood chopping" axe may be better balanced then most of the 2h counterparts you would have available at the times.

Says who? People are surprisingly good at developing well made items for killing each other, and rare is the weapon that is not practical.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

It would be surprising if a craftsman's/wood cutting tool is more fit at fighting than a specialized fighting axe.

One idea is is to give axes a mixture of cut&pierce or cut&blunt to make them better against armor than sword or especially than the drawn cut of katanas(which should be horrible against any metal armor).

For some unknown reason this looks to me like bed&breakfast.
