Best to carry both types cause you never know when you might have to tank. But for every day grinding/soloing stick to an Axe.

I used to carry both 1h and an Axe until I enhanced my 1h sword to have the same attack as a non-enhanced Axe.

Use axe man, pure damage which will make your life easier.

And tanking? Even I can tank with a 2h XD but yeah, what would make you a good fighter is that you carry 1h and 2h weapons for any situations you'll have to tank, as Loveless said.

Additional note ~ don't bother buying 1h and shield level 30. It looks gaaaaaaaay!!! Just look for gear with END

I'm looking for some myself... Trust me, I tanked ZK with a few scrolls and a Crusader at level 32, so yeah scrolls can even it up ^^" and clerics too... Be careful this is Epith, where 87% of the population is FAILURE...

^uber change of topic

So yeah, pure STR + axe = PWN. 2h is just for the looks, dun follow meh.

shield + sword, get them with str and/or with end so you can attack fast with good dmg.

If you can afford it, shield/sword and Axe.

If not, shield/sword is best for pure STR.

I tank and I use an axe. I use some scrolls and I do just fine. At least I think I do.

With one-hand, you'll see the benefit of that Str stat a lot more as it has a higher attack rate. But with Axe-users, there is the weapons higher base damage and critical rate to tear through mobs.

As has always been said though, Fighters should always carry both and use according to the situation.

if u had pure end then i'd say 1h because of the exta shield block rate.
..but for pure str...actually it doesnt matter if it's 2h or axe, just go by the look i guess

axes have more crit, but u can always get a green 2h which may have more or same...so yeah. No1 can actually say which is better.
i'd choose by the enchancement lvl and greeniestats :P
But still 1 thing. Fighters aren't damage dealers, they're meant to tank mostly.
so don't forget taunting/mocking even if u use 2h/axe!!!
