Did you even compare everything? I think not.
As shown the LG 1 Handed Axe adds +20% Critrate and +40% Critdmg.
It has 70 less base Atkrate than the Angel Big Sword.
The weapon is labeled normal, meaning with RM buffs it is likely to get 100% Aspeed. We assume usage of a STR build with a Warpon Set since its proven the best for 1v1 CW.
Stats buffed with LG 1h Axe/Warpon Set
38% Critrate (60% Critmode)
+40% Critdmg
100% Aspeed
+15% Hitrate
The Angel Big Sword (ABS) has 10 DEX and 35% Critdmg.
It has 70 more Atkrate than an LG 1h Axe.
The weapon is labeled Slow meaning 87% Aspeed will be the max Aspeed with a STR build (which is needed for the actual damage to kill CW)
Stats buffed with Angel Big Sword
19% Critrate (41% Critmode)
+35% Critdmg
87% Aspeed
+15% Hitrate
It is clear what setup of weaponry wins the damage showdown.
The conclusion? The Angel Big Sword is 13% slower than a LG 1h Axe, has 5% less Critdmg and only gives half the Critrate that the LG 1h Axe gives.
Using a 2handed weapon will give a few hundred more base damage tops, but the Criticals and the Crit modifier on the LG 1h Axe outshines this minor damage difference.
Therefore it is now proven a FACT that LG 1h Axes are statistically better weapons for any Merc-Job to use at Clockworks.
