D1 Unique Axes

From Diablo 2 Wiki

Unique Axes found in Diablo and Hellfire. There were no unique axes added in Hellfire. All of the following are found in both games.

Diablo Unique Axes

Axes are seldom used in Diablo, since only the Warrior can handle them with anything approaching expertise, and even he seldom wishes to, since the loss in defense by going without a shield is very painful. The Barbarian character added in the Hellfire expansion is designed to work well with axes, though.
