Yeah I use switchaxe in Tri and it is for sure quicker to use mostly the axe mode to kill things. But also when i play i see too many people using the hack-n-slash combo which is weaker then just doing the normal overhead strike to side swipe to uppercut then repeat. If you pause and press attack again right as your guy lowers the axe from the uppercut he'll do a quicker overhead strike to continue the combo. Also I really only use the sword mode for the explosion which can be used more depending on the monster
