Whats best at level 50?

I'm planning on taking my skald 46 BS 44 Axe 17 parry - would it be better to go hammer instead?

What are the benefits/disadvantages of each type?

Hammer for back snare as youll normally be chasing Bards etc down while the assist grp does other things so youll need your own form of "PF"

axe has slightly better resist table (the only significant penalty being against bards - natural prey for skalds), but hammer has rear style with snare
so all in all fair tradeoff

problem with axe is that you havent got a descent anytime, which hammer have.
The styles to use for axe is Positional front, and pos. back


Ive been 50 axe on my warrior for all time, but recently respecced to hammer. What i notice from this is overall lower dmgoutput when facing an oppenent 1on1, but better for rvr since the snarestyle, and a good anytime.

Im not sure on the damage difference, but if i have to use an anytime style in rvr i use the taunt style with axes. I make same damage with taunt as with Havoc.

tested it some, and came up with that i do ~25% more dmg with havoc instead of tauntstyle

if u go 1vs1 in rvr u have a gr8 lev 50 style
havoc-frontstlye and then tyr's furry

if hammer u have too block and get like 3 hits in a row then u can take the 50style
but sure the hammer maby does more dmg

If you are refering to the axe back styles named Evernight with the followup called Arctic Rift...then you are wrong. The followup hurts just as much as Havoc.
