I currently have a lvl 18 W/N who has been axe since the beginning of the game. Since I have found this site I have been seeing alot of W/N builds that use swords and I was wondering if i picked the wrong weapon. I kinda wana do some farming after i hit 20 and some pvp so can someone give me the negatives and positives of both swords and axe. Or what you personaly use and why.

Alot of Warrior farming builds use Bonetti's Defense for energy regeneration, so an axe makes sense in those builds (one swing of Cyclone Axe will usually charge you right up, when surrounded by griffons or whatnot).

There was another thread on this started recently as well. Check here for lots of opinions.

Both are good, but I prefer to use 100 blades with a support necro using Vamp Order + Echoed Vamp Order. IMHO, Sword is faster, but takes more tactics to use well. 100 Blades is like "move 2 feet for a .01 second window with a perfect cone that will do a massive damage spike to the mob".

Axe is good, but experiment with sword, you may like it.

Well i just got a 14^50 fiery dragon sword and my damage on a single target is really high. In pvp I can kill other warriors well because they can't reduce the damage with the bleed and in pvp final thrust is great. I am lvl 19 now and it is going well but I dont know what upgrade I should put on my sword now.
