1 Handed Swords give you the benefit of a shield which is equal to more than that of a piece of chest armour, as well as increased aim and a fast attack rate.
Axes give you the benefit of the highest physical damage-dealing weapon in the game, at the cost of lower aim, lower attack rate, increased critical rate.
Two handed swords give neither a comparable amount of damage that the axes give, nor, the defense that a 1 handed sword gives. In this case Two handed swords completely suck. They do have flashey looks, but thats all they have.
My preference is an axe. Most of the times fighters just skill spam anyways. Skills have the same cooldown and usage on all 3 weapons. Literally, when skill spamming, an axe, 1 handed sword, and 2 handed sword attack at the same rate.
However, an axe deals considerably more damage than its competition.
