Attack Type: Slash, Chop for Poleaxe
Fast for: Paladin	Viable for: No one in particular
Uniques: Awesome Scythe, Orcish Poleaxe, Malign Pikestaff

• Pros: Solid damage
• Cons: Rare, very heavy
• High End Choices: Orcish poleaxe is very good damage for a 1hander, the awesome scythe is two handed and your average high end. The best option probably the steel poleaxe from shieldhand, two handed. Theres the pristine insectoid arm from thraxi thats also very good but also very heavy, also two handed.
• Two Weapon Choices: Not a whole lot of options. Sickle from tingi.. maybe the other low skill ones could do ok, but fairly low damage.

Suggested Skill Progression:

• 0-20 Wooden hoe from paladin estates
• 20-30 Sickle from tingi, hooked bill from nepeth.
• 30-50 Halberd from Stronghold, iron poleaxe from felgands
• 50-60 Huge Halberd from Scythe camp, razor sharp halberd from burnham
• 60-75 Orcish Poleaxe from Delair, decent scythe from Scythe camp.
• 70-100 Awesome scythe from Scythe camp, pristine thraxi arm from thraxi.
• 80-100 Steel poleaxe from shieldhand
