the charge axe will definitely be the bridging gap for me and my friend. he mainly uses sword and sheild and i mainly use switch axe since its introduction. I use to like sword and sheild for the flexibility of the weapon but at the same time hated it for its weakness and simplicity. the switch axe offered me a very versitile weapon that was also in the top 3 of power house weapons. i felt as if each attack with the switch was REALLY doing something and didn't take me a day and a half to unleash full power like the hammer and great sword. now with charge axe, i can have my cake AND eat it too XD. i get a super flexible sword and sheild AND a powerfully versitile axe. For me that is nothing BUT win.
