Im not sure but i think there are numbers out there that say WM is better in the long run. In general higher base dmg with a longer rech is best and this is most true for brutes because they run with such high +dmg.That 10 or so extra base dmg ends up being over 30-40 extra dmg and that 3seconds of extra rech gets down to an extra 1 second.
But maybe its BA that's better @.@

WM is somewhat better, especially since the clobber changes. Both of them have the satisfaction of hitting very, very hard. The sound of Cleave tearing apart tiny baby men is definitely on the higher end of my enjoyment list. Battle Axe still hits REALLY hard when you get fury going.
I think WM hits harder but BA is safer. They both drain end like crazy, so keep that in mind.

I wanted to make a brute for some smashy goodness and I have a /invuln tank, /regen /EA and /shield scrappers so I thought I would try out something different I saw /FA and seemed like fun.
But I'm having a hard time deciding between WM or BA. They seem a similar, with BA having a bit more damage and WM getting better recharge times.
Which do you prefer and why?
I am leaning toward WM.
