Howdy, I'm upgrading from bronze to iron and I figured I might try an iron battleaxe but the 20 blocking power causes me to doubt it; not to mention two-handed is probably a bit slower than the sword/board I've been using, which has proven to be quite reliable.

Any input is welcome, thanks.

I never really like a two-handed weapon, my go-to is always bows, maces, and rounded shield so I can parry rather than tower shield because parry will stun or staggering the enemy and in this stage, the enemy received backstab damage which multiplies the damage.

Have you tried the sword yet? I was sticking with maces for awhile then built a sword. It is so much better. Swings faster and uses way less stamina so you get more swings.
