Which weapon would be better to use?

Hii
I'm having a hard time to decide if I should keep using my 1h empress sword with 151 weapon attack and a pot of 15% str
or use a clean level 160 2h axe (Terminus Devastator) the axe increases my range by 6k but its speed is normal not fast like the sword
So is the difference in speed a lot between normal and fast?

I will be scrolling the axe with the 50%'s if it is better
and my empress sword isnt fully scrolled yet

Thankyou

@SilentXynh: I have no idea how wrong I am. I just heard that a while back. I had no other evidence, so that's what I said.

If you want an approximation, it's usually a 9% difference on average.

Take the delay of your main attacking skill and compare between the speeds.
Effective delay being ((attack speed +10)/16)*delay at Normal(6), rounded up to the nearest 30ms[/quote]

what would be better then the perfect 1h sword or the perfect 2h axe?

[quote=ragemorepliz]it honestly depends if you have a decent secondary weapon or w/e its called the 2hander would be better but if you don't and you have a shield to match your 1 handed shield stick with that and sell the terminus.[/quote]

Normal 2H sword with 100 attack is equal to Fast 2H sword with 85 attack.

Like that. Get it?

Perfect the 2h axe, and it'll be better. You already get 30% boss from the axe itself, and 2h axe/sword multipliers are greater than the 1h axe/sword multipliers.
Go axe or go home.
