Yea i know whatcha mean about axes and what not...Bashe is like my axe and hammer man, yet Vaan is doing a consistant damaged around 1700-2500 depending on the critter if not more sometimes.

Baschs axe is damage 71, yet i dont know...i dont mind hitting lower occasionally if his clobbering hit was alot more devastating. I think the idea is to toss a haste on em and just let em rip, but as i said his high blow isnt too devastating with that axe.
