Axes vs swords?

Hey guys, due to the lack of funding, I'm considering using a 2h axe as my end game weapon instead of a 2h sword. I know swords are generally better, but is it that big of a difference? I don't think I'll be able to afford a perfect 1h sword AND a good shield, so I'm pretty much stuck with 2 handed weapons.
Do you guys think it'd be a decent idea?

Thanks in advance,
Tokie

OK, what? One Handed Axes are the same as One Handed Swords if speed doesn't matter.

[quote=XxSuperMoFoxX]hm you can probably find a clean stonetooth and scroll it yourself its probably the best one you can get unless you want an empress one but i would only buy the empress 2h sword/axe if you can afford to buy atleast 4 or 5 pieces of the set if not then its pretty much a waste[/quote]

Well he said he can't get 1h, and fast speed swords are also probably way to expensive for this guy.

If your using a normal speed axe, then it's actually better than a sword due to more base attack. Avoid slow ones like the dragon and the Tavar.

They are equally good. Get a 1h axe and a shield, it'll make you feel better.
