Cutlass is fffaaarrr superior to the Shadow Axe.

<p>Trade the cutlass in for a Kilij if you can. Cutlass is useless in comparison.</p><p>However, shadow axe is one of the worst fabled 1handers in KOS, despite its damage rating. You will come to find that damage rating means nothing.</p>

I dont know, for damage, the 900damage proc on the kilij makes it way way better i think than shadow.

<p>The kilij is better because of the NINE HUNDRED damage proc. Gotta remember how much it hits for.</p><p>If you have a vilucidae sword though, 1handing that with str/wis should outparse the other stuff you've listed.</p>
