Nope, speeds already like that before update...n if u count by damage, 1handed is better than 2handed...
We use our dmg as example, my dmg is around 175, n as u say ur dmg 250... while u deal 2x hits(250x2=500), i can have 3x hits(175x3=525), as u can see im still win 25 dmg... other thing is im just using lvl13 axe, while u using lvl15 axe...
