This just irritates me to no end. You have three weapons that in real life are very well balanced in actual combat. Look at the multipliers for maximum and minimum damage.

Max damage:
All Classes:
Two Handed Sword – [(STR * 4.6 + DEX) / 100] * Weapon Attack
Two Handed Axe – [(STR * 4.8 + DEX) / 100] * Weapon Attack
Two Handed Blunt Weapon – [(STR * 4.8 + DEX) / 100] * Weapon Attack

Min Damage:
All Classes:
Two Handed Sword – (STR * 0.9 * 4.6 * Skill Mastery + DEX) / 100 * Weapon Attack
Two Handed Axe – (STR * 0.9 * 3.4 * Skill Mastery + DEX) / 100 * Weapon Attack
Two Handed Blunt – (STR * 0.9 * 3.4 * Skill Mastery + DEX) / 100 * Weapon Attack

Sword: 4.6 -> 4.6
Axe: 4.8 -> 3.4
Blunt Weapon: 4.8 -> 3.4

Axe and Blunt Weapon get +.02 max damage but -1.2 minimum damage? What kind of stupidity is this? You get a little more maximum damage for a huge minimum damage deficit. What’s more, swords have faster attack speed than axes and blunt weapons at almost any given level (note: almost), and on top of that they have a longer range than either the axe or blunt weapon. Now Blunt Weapons get 2 more average weapon attack than a sword does (an axe does not get this), but this doesn’t not come close to making up for the fact that they have crap stability, slow speed, and crap range.

What about the lack of balance as far as one-handed weapons? Because of the crap job that Wizet did on how damage is calculated, weapon defense means nothing. Mages have it nice because INT is the variable for Attack, Magic Defense, MP Gained per Level (which is their HP), and Accuracy. But enough of that, because one speed category up from the damage that two-handed weapons deal out is stupid.
