How strong is?

The 12th bay axe, what is its' hit ratio, how fast is it, two or one handed?

[sami1337]

It's strong. 1 hit kills level 2 sometimes 3 foxes.
It's two handed.
Hit ratio..depends on your melee skill obviously.
Speed is the same as stone axe i think.

[Raephire]

I mean, how much attack power does it have? the axe's base damage alone.

[sami1337]

with 53 str (thats with barbarism) i deal (about ) 76 damage and 15 grievious damage with full death. So that's like 60 raw damage i think.

[Raephire]

58 raw attack power then.

Thats good, I thought they were extremely overpowered.

[sami1337]

No right now they are under powered. There is no skill to dodge with a two handed weapon yet. Which should be there.

Yep, you can't solo anything with them. The only thing they are good for is one shotting griefers and weak animals. Otherwise a soldiers sword and a wooden shield is pretty much necessary.

That's untrue. You can easily kill up to i think level 4 boars and level 8 foxes without taking damage. Which means you win anyway. But yeah if you want to get more serious you'd need to use an axe or sword with a shield.

But there is a *maneuver* called "Dodge". ;)
It's based on your unarmed skill value.

[sami1337]

Yeah i don't really feel like abusing a skill made for a completely different fighting style. Especially not after jorb told me melee actually does need to get one.

I am not going to level unarmed just because we are missing a skill. Might as well start over with unarmed then.
