Desirability

With a base damage of 13 and a min delay of 0.467 once you account for the speed brand, "Arga" isn't capable of the raw brutality of bigger axes, but does attack marvelously fast and doesn't restrict you from using shields. The magic resistance boost is minor, but welcome. Couple it with some solid slaying sources and this cleaving weapon can be extremely effective throughout the game.
