General

whichever one has more att
i prefer axes because of my hero

@Above: I prefer axes for that very reason: I can xfer it to my hero x)

I prefer mace, because after im done my DS i can go to paladin

its irrelevant for most weapons, but if youre going for empress, get the axe,
It has faster attack speed than the mace, same atk on it

There is no difference between stats (I think), it's down to personal preference

Mace for bonus Style Points tho

Mace because they are awesome
