Stucking between Sword Champ and Axe

Which between those two are dominating in pvp?

Depends. They're about equal in damage potential, the main is your weakness.

Swords got accu so they don't miss, but anything with a high magic attack or def pierce really hurts then, due to them not having a stun they can't stop a aspeed class.

Axes accu is low, so anything high dodge or magic attack hurts the axe champ.

aside from that, they're relatively* the same.

Isn't it true that an axe has more DPS 1v1 while a sword champ is more AOE-based?

Not really no. The damage dealt is equal over time to a degree.

axe has a larger burst potential, while sword deals more consistent damage.

so in 1v1 axe and swords are near equal depending on build, however a sword out classes an axe in an aoe fight, which is mainly why it gets used so frequently. Being able to match single target classes and turn around with the same build and match aoe classes is what gives sword an edge over axe.

I think the original plan was axe was single target and small range throws then aoes. While swords were single target, then aoe, and lastly ranged. But for some genius reason swords have the same number of ranged skills, two times the aoes, and equal single target capabilitys.

so if you're really wanting to pick the best base to build on, I'd probly say sword is better.
