But that was the entire point of my post. Act 1 ends at roughly level 7-8, not counting the end boss XP. The Axe is the only thing (Unless you get super lucky with RNG and get a level 8 epic before the final boss) you'll have on your warrior for more than half of Act 1.
Complete agreement here in the lack of comparable weapons of other types.
And you do get to this weapon a bit early, probably level 4 for average playthroughs.
But I'm saying, if you get the axe at its posted level of 6, then it will be replaced next level-up.
It's not overweighted, just accessible early.
