Axes are a type of weapon in Diablo III. They are found in one-handed and two-handed types, and are a favored weapon of the Barbarian class. Large, two-handed weapons maybe restricted to the Barbarian only as a Class-specific weapon but this is not yet confirmed.

The Diablo III Barbarian's starting equipment consists of a hand axe and a buckler shield.

One-handed Axes

One-handed axes, concept vs. in-game.

Axes were profiled as an item type in a Diablo III panel from Blizzcon 2010. In one shot they showed the variety of axes, going from their concept art to the final in-game 3D model.

The design concept is that there's a clear difference between the starting axe and the highest level type. The team doesn't worry about making every level of axe a clear upgrade (probably because this would be subjective/impossible) but they do want to give the player a sense of increasing power as they move through the selections and types of chopping device.


Axe Media

Axes are shown off in dozens of Barbarian screenshots and piece of concept art. A few examples are included below.
