I was following a guide to get started using axes and my friends were saying to just follow poe.ninja

most people are using swords, which is cool, but I'm wondering if dual wielding vs 2h weap is a huge difference or preference? or maybe just a budget thing since the 2h is starforge and isn't super cheap so


what are the main differences ?

you can do millions of dps with rusted swords dual weilding

Definitely not true.

I will stay polite, but maybe you are just trolling



/nb i ever can do it , or anyone with good/decent gear and flats

here's some POB got some days ago, didnt check it, but i'm 100% sure about this broken league mechanics anyway.

/nb2 i think this is even more broken without any sword btw: unarmed. Range sucks tho, while foils have the highest -14-

But his gear is probably godly to be able to do that. I was saying just slap some shit weps on isnt gonna produce millions of dps unless the rest of you is geared.

Well, the video is bad : i don't think he had optimal gear for this, for few ex you can do much better.

Back with "real" swords: the difference in-between foils is low, like this 20 chaos sword i flipped 1 ex => only getting ~20% more overall dps with my 2x 30+ exs swords .....

Alternatives to Starforge, Terminus Est (frenzy charge generation, high crit, good ias), Kondos Pride (pure physical damage), doomsower (7L)
I farm shaper with slayer cyclone using kondos pride, ezpz

Using starforge atm got it 6 linked on like day 4; very fun so far

1h swords busted too

I dont remember all the difference between axes and swords but I believe swords have better attack speed and axes have better range

If you're going for a rare crafted weapon you'll want a Vaal Axe or Exquisite Blade * blade can be very pricey but worth it in crit builds*

If you craft you'll want something like this
*I'm missing a mod still I know hard to find on ps4*

If you'd rather a unique go for Atziri's Disfavor Axe or starforge sword

it doesn't fucking matter, the powercreep is insane. You will literally crush every content regardless of going 2h or dual wield. With 2h you would be able to use a Kaom's Heart is the only difference

Or you can get a crafted -mana chest, still doesn't matter you would still crush everything with either
