Axe Mastery is a weapon attribute. Not only does it have several skills that get better as you increase this attribute it also makes your charcter better when using any axe. Weapons are tied to attributes, requiring a certain amount of the requisite attribute to use it to full effect. The higher the requisite, the greater the damage range. And axes are no exception to this. A high weapon attribute also causes your character to have more critical hits, further making your axe deadlier. Axes attack about as fast as swords do and have wider damage ranges. Where a sword might have a range of 6-10, an axe will have one of 4-12. Critical hits are calculated based on the maximum of that damage range so critical hitting with an axe is deadly indeed. In addition to all that, the axe attribute offers several excellent skills focusing on disrupting opponents and dealing massive damage. However, to use them you’ll need to have an axe equiped as they’re “axe only” skills.
