| A beautiful mithril axe, probably lost by some dwarven hero. |
the +10,+6 mithril axe "Arga"
+10, +6 war axe
Speed brand
+2 STR
+30 MR
Base damage is roughly 10, accounting for the speed brand, and the min delay is 4; this makes it well superior to an unbranded quick blade, and in terms of raw damage output superior to an unbranded demon whip, although the demon whip will do better against armoured targets. Despite its description, it's not actually a dwarven weapon, so deep dwarves do not receive any racial bonuses.
Desirability
It does damage on par with a demon whip: quite adequate for the endgame, while letting you use a shield and giving you some extra MR. Whether or not you prefer this to the greater damage of a two-handed weapon is dependent on your character, style, and situation.
