Axe sword or maul on my dk

Mettaricana

My dk stamina runs viper for huge single target dmg one shotting cp 160 enemies but that aside... I'm stuck on a rock and a hard place I don't wanna waste mats or tempers so I'm asking what would maximize my dps out of the 3 weapons? Currently using an axe I can trigger viper, wb, and bleed crits all at once, but do swords 5% dmg or mauls armor ignore deal more dmg?

Also another question I'm running crushing enchant what would dish out the hardest hit?

No expert here but my take:
Mauls are good for heavy armoured targets - bosses and pvp tanks.

Swords are better for damage assuming in dungeons that your tank is taunting and debuffing although 2h is not best DPS in Pve, it's more for pvp.

Axe bleed is good, not used in a while but I heard that if you weave every 1-2 seconds that if your bleed is applied it will be taken off.

I personally go with Mauls in PVP although I recently bought a Sharpened skirmisher battle axe, just need the bow now.

Enchants wise I prefer to go with WD enchant on 2h and back bar can either be a different enchant or a poison.

PvE or PvP? Sounds like PvE since you mentioned CP160 and then I would go with swords or daggers.

Sword is good for PvE trash and light armor casters in PvP, maul is ideal vs bosses and pvpers with heavy armor in PvP, and Axes are good if your build has points in thaumaturge and if the fights last a while.

I prefer mauls. Axes are great for long fights
