After BB, in terms of stability and DPM, which is stronger?

Swords are better.

Kojo : I see. What about VIP 1H BW and VIP 1H Sword? I'm sure they're both the same speeds, wouldn't they be equal? Pretty sure those are both Fast 5, correct me if I'm wrong.

why arent BW's much stronger anyway they should have more attack than axes really raise the popularity at least because there ARE NO pages/wks/paladins

The one with the higher speed is better. If they release a Fast (4) 1hbw with high attack, then it'll be just as good as a sword. Swords are generally faster, though.
