Known since Update 7 PTS - never got fixed yet. You can easily check if by looking at your character screen when equiping a maul and a sword with the same damage. It increases the Weapon Damage you get from the said Weapon by the said percentage instead. Which is why a maul is a no-brainer currently. Is that hard to understand? Point of the OP: "Maul deals way too much damage thanks to the passive compared to swords, even when it the maul is faced with a situation where it's supposed to be much less effective E.

So pls, someone explain me whats going on. I have defending trait in the Maul and im doing only 4 damage less than the sword? Test where done vs not heigh armor enemies, it was done vs normal enemies, even low lvl enemies. I know theoretically Maul should be more effective vs high armor enemies and greatswords should do more damage vs not too high armor enemies, but then I found that is not like that.

Generally speaking, the weaker the character, the more viable the Greataxe. Keep this in mind when playing a tankier Barbarian that invests in Constitution before Strength. Every time you increase your Strength or your proficiency bonus, the Greatsword damage benefits more than the Greataxe overall. Statistical increases favor the Greatsword over the Greataxe. As a result, Reckless Attack can make a weapon swap viable at an earlier level if you use it consistently. The real separation is found when advantage is applied. However, with Reckless Attack, it starts to pull ahead against every AC.Ĭomparing the charts above, you can see where regular attacks stay relatively close in damage output. By 13th Level, the Half-Orc should be comfortable using the Greataxe, even without Reckless Attack to boost the critical chance.īy Level 17, the Greataxe is still not making much difference on a standard attack.
While a Half-Orc is still better using a Greatsword until Level 9, they can make the trade to Greataxe sooner without losing damage.
With advantage, the Greatsword and Greataxe perform relatively the same vs.įinally, with the third tier of Brutal Critical, the Greataxe pulls ahead. For a standard attack, the Greatsword is better against low-AC foes, while the Greataxe is better against very high-AC foes. The second extra damage die does a little more. However, it does make it close against high-AC foes. While 3d12 Here you see that the first extra damage die from Reckless Attack is not enough to make the Greataxe better. These abilities confer a greater benefit to the Greataxe user who gets to roll an additional d12 over the Greatsword user who only gets to roll an additional d6. This benefit increases to two additional dice at Level 13, and three additional dice at Level Similarly, Half-Orcs have access to a racial feature called Savage Attacks, which adds one additional damage die upon a critical hit. Conventional wisdom holds that a Barbarian is better wielding a Greataxe 1d12 damage over a Greatsword 2d6 damagedue to the extra damage that results on a critical hit.Īt Level 9, Barbarians gain an ability called Brutal Critical, which allows them to deal one additional damage die upon a critical hit.
