According to zotius' compilation, 2hSwords are not as good as axes when it comes to an attacker (as opposed to a tank, where it is suggested that a 1hSword and Shield is best combo, despite any notion that shields=phail :P)
2hSwords lack a slight critical/damage bonus from 2hAxes, while getting a slight boost in attack speed and accuracy, but this slight boost it recieves is not useful enough to account for the axe's boost. However, if you chose the 2hSword due to visual effect, it would seem that you would be more of a casual gamer as opposed to WIN AT ALL COSTS NECESSARY!!!1!1 sort of person (not an insult), so you shouldn't have to worry as much necessarily concerning metagame issues and just focus on what you want, which is this basis of ALL mmos, that is, to have a good time with the world! Just because you lose in a fight against a assimilationist fighter with stats similar to every single fighter doesn't mean you suck-it means you're original! So chill out, my friend. Just have fun. Melt away that stress. Do what you feel like. If you say, "I don't like x skills sp cost, I'll empower it!", then do it! That's just life, man. Have a good time. Enjoy Fiesta!
