Judges Insight.
Adds Armor Penetration and transforms damage into holy damage. Undead take double damage from holy damage. That's why.

Actually swords are very viable in pvp, although you'd have to plan abit, its much easier to use than axe and hammer since its basically spam dmg till you kill. Been using swords in tombs and its pretty good, it can drop people just as fast if not faster than an axe/hammer, it wont however, have the problematic effects axe(disrupt chop) and hammers(knockdowns) can do, its just straight up dmg fighter, 15-22 means a very tight dmg spread. sever/gash/100blades/final(w/ strength of honor + judges/both orders) = death very quickly.

ARRRRGHS, don't start yet another holy war about swords versus axes versus hammers in this thread. This board is FILLED with it.
rii
it goes like this:
swords have better energy attacks
axes have better adrenaline attacks.
thats the rough guide.

I thought swords and axes had the same attack speed?
Autumn_Leaf
1. he was using judge's insight, its just wearing off so its harder to see the picture.
2. swords has a faster attack rate. 1 extra swing per 100 hits. so small that it doesn't matter.

May I please have a reference?

According to the Prima Guide, the Speeds of Axes and Swords are both 1.33 seconds. Considering the vagueness of the "Swords are faster" group, I think I'll believe the Guide.

swords and axes are the same speed 1.33, w/ hammer trailing them both @ 1.8.

Any difference between a sword and axe besides the skills used?
Saba The Hobo
Yeah, that's not the sword doing the damage 
Bäel Inferis
Hmm.... well yea, that damage is actually doubled and all that.... so maybe swords aren't bad vs. Undead, with Judges' Insight. Like all weapons.
I think it's all down to personal preference - as long as you like your weapon and can use the weapon effectively, it doesn't matter what the stats are.
