Swords
Swords are a type of melee weapon in Diablo III. They can be found in one-handed and two-handed varieties. As in Diablo II, daggers are their own type of item, rather than a subset of swords.
No specific stats or names of swords have been released yet, but a full listing will be compiled as soon as the information is made available.
It seems that swords will not be a very common item in Diablo III: Barbarians seem more tuned towards axes or hammers, while Monks, Wizards, and Witch Doctors are not likely to use swords at all.
