Intro:
As we know In the new combat experimental snapshots the axe is now considered a weapon and has gotten some buffs in the form of a new enchantment and nerfs in its damage.
The Enchantment:
What does this enchantment do well? It increases the attack speed of the axe slightly and speeds up the 200% timer to attack. This enchantment has 3 levels. right now axes don't have a reach bonus so it should get a boost to its close combat instead of just damage. Also, this enchantment is not compatible with cleaving since that would be too overpowered but it can use sharpness and other damage increasing enchants.
Why this Enchantment would be beneficial:
I like to think of this like bows and crossbows the crossbow starts off slower than the bow but with quick charge, it becomes faster with the axe being faster and has some extra damage than a sword it could mean that players can use enchantments like sweeping edge a lot easier and get crits. This also adds options like do I want a slower but heavy axe that can disable shields for longer or do I want to rush my opponent and get quick attacks and sweep and get crits often at the cost of shield disable time and damage.
In Conclusion:
To wrap up, I think an enchantment to boost the attack speed of an axe and its 200% timer would benefit PVP by opening up more options and strategies for players to try out. If you read this far thank you so much for reading and I hope you consider this idea.
