The only logical solution in cRPG is to play 2h hero and enjoy all the buffs while laughing from all other classes nerfs.
Last "balance" patch buffed almost all 2h swords damage or speed (like it was too low before) and gave all 2h axes much more damage.
After that patch all 2h axes got buffed by +3 damage. Yes, PLUS 3 damage. So eg. Great Axe +3 now has 49 cut damage, it's more powerful than polearm axes now.
Balance team either play 2h class or not play this game at all, which is just a shame
