Swords are powerful melee weapons in Diablo III and have traditionally, along with axes, been the supreme choice for almost all melee-oriented characters in the series.
- ONE-HANDED
One-handed swords are sharp blades held by their hilts. They’re truly versatile weapons, used effectively for slashing, thrusting or hacking at exposed, sensitive flesh.
- TWO-HANDED
Though heavier and slower than their one-handed counterparts, two-handed swords offer an advantage that is readily apparent – they have a large bladed area, which makes them frighteningly lethal.
