Diablo 2 Elite Axes Guide

Although considered slow and cumbersome by some, the fearsome power of larger axes is without equal. Axes are found in many different forms, from small single-handed weapons, designed to be quickly swung, to massive, double-bladed versions that can cleave a body in a single blow. The smallest of these are specially weighted throwing axes. There are tales of Barbarians who wield such throwing axes in each hand, efficiently dispatching foes in both melee and ranged combat.

Axe speeds are listed by Class: Ama = Amazon, Asn = Assassin, B = Barbarian, D = Druid, N = Necromancer, P = Paladin, S = Sorceress.
