Forum:Axe vs Sword vs Club

There is currently some debate over whether you should use swords or clubs or axe weapons. Typically speaking highest damage is always best to go with.

All current swords are 1 handed, meaning your stuck going sword/shield. This is hazardous because you lose out on leveling speed because you can't go full out damage.

Axe weapons are only 2 handed at the higher tier meaning your stuck going 2 hand. This is not a problem with current balance because the difference in damage taken is null.

Club weapons are very bad with current balance. You will find after using Mallet on Novice Island every club weapon after loses in stats to either Sword or Axe.
