Title says it all. If chance to get an extra attack (which can also crit) is better than chance to crit (as I and many other warriors believe), then why do our talent trees give us the option of 6% extra attack (sword spec) vs 5% crit (axe/polearm spec).

Was an error in the tooltip, the actual number of extra attacks was always 5%, it just said 6%. Additionally, the idea that an extra attack is greater than a crit is a little bit complicated. I was a human warrior so I was naturally swords (el oh el 313 2h swords with OEB, 309 with maladath) but if I had ever achieved GM, I would have used the axe for a while. Extra attacks are nice, but they don't help crits on execute, they also don't take away as much bonus from impale, however there is the awesome occasion where you proc sword spec and both crit, axes can't touch that. MS + Extra attack is worse than a crit ms, but if the ms or the extra attack on the sword crits, then you would be better off with the sword. It's just not as clearcut as some people think, and a lot of GM/HW warriors (especially orcs) swear by their axes.
