Axes (Weapon)

Axes are pure damage weapons good for barbarian play style. They can't block or make critical hit and have penalties against armor, but do more base damage than any other class of weapons. Armor values of enemies is effectively doubled against all axes so they're a poor choice against armored opponents, though as most basic mobs have little or no armor they can be excellent for cutting through hoards a weak enemies.

In a pinch, war- and battleaxes can also be used to break wooden blocks, making them handy substitutes / multi-tools while adventuring.

It attacks 70% slower that the base attack speed and players move 20% slower when one is equiped (10% slower for mithril battleaxes).
