I agree completely.
With the same build same earrings, the axe will always have a 2% critical rate over a 1-handed sword user.
7% (base) + 5% (license) + 5% (build) + 2% (earrings) = 19%
5% (base) + 5% (license) + 5% (build) + 2% (earrings) = 17%
I dislike it when people compare axes and swords using other items with stat-increase but not applying it to both. It makes the appearance of a "better" weapon, when it infact isn't...
The only thing a sword has over an axe with all things considered equal is the attack rate and aim. Aside from that there is nothing otherwise that can make a sword better than an axe under equal conditions.
