But the only viable weapon for 1H is a rapier of slaughter...
You're supposed to increase damage output with power armor.
High damage axes make the PA of rapiers pointless when you can kill a monster in 1 or 2 hits, I use an axe for one handed and I clear arenas faster than with an estoc
Also upgrading that axe is a good idea it's not likely you'll get a better one from a drop anytime soon and the price of buying a better one far out ways the cost of upgrading that one to a level of damage a better one would have
