I think that, because of their weight, axes and warhammers should also leave a brief period of time (1/2 of the weapon cool down) in which the user takes 25% more damage. This will also happen with spears and pikes, as they would also leave your arms extended (exposing more area for an opponent to land a fatal blow), while taking longer to recover from compared to a sword or dagger. This would encourage careful judgment of when to strike, being careful that nothing else has outflanked you to attack you from behind or that your opponent could recover fast enough to hit you in that brief window. Right now, the current system is good, but it still allows spam clicking to hit as fast as possible, even when that wouldn't be the best option.
