Hello there,
I was just curious as to why Double Axes are not more popular for samurai considering they have Whirlwind Attack. I realize that their DPS is lower than the Ornate Axe but does the Whirlwind attack not make up for this fact since it has more utility? It just seems that it would be a good alternative to the Scimitar since you can get the extra 5% parry bonus since you'd be using a two-handed weapon. On top of that, it has Double Strike, which seems like it would be handy on single targets bumping up the DPS.
Your thoughts, please! Thanks.
