I love the look of the persian war axe and demand that you give it better stats! It looks so cool but everything else is better than it. No one uses it... I would say... make it more expensive and increase the speed rating. Then again it looks like its made of steel... BUT ITS SO SHORT
The bardiche is one weapon above it, about 800 more expensive. It has 12 more length, and 1 more increase in damage; it also has 2 less difficulty, and 1.5 less weight (good or bad). Same speed (91) and slots however.
The two handed axe is 2k cheaper, 2 longer length, has 4 more speed, but 2 less cut. I'd say this is another reason to balance this persian axe!
e: As it stands right now, the fighting axe is the best 2h backup axe imo since its balanced and is decently cheap... I
want to use it but/ everything else is better than it lol..
