    Because it'd only been 51 minutes....

    Polehammers you get at x1,
    Poleaxes you get at level x4,
    Dual Axes you get at x7
    Dual Hammers you get at x9

    So you can do ministeps of weapon improvements.

    Pole's have a much wider range of damage for higher peak spike damage. Dual Axes/hammers have a smaller range for more consistent and predictable damage. Axes have a wider range than hammers (poleaxes and dual axes have a wider range than their correlating polehammer and dual hammer).

    Poles have a slightly lower damage average at the same level, but attack at a .91 attack rate. This means better chi building and stacks better with interval gear, although with a .91 base starting point interval difference isn't much anyways. Dual Axe/hammers have a slightly higher damage average but attack at a slower rate. Again, this gives better spike dmg on crits.



    My opinion on which is best? None especially, since they all balance out to about the same thing. but I guess I like polehammers. I pretend I notice a difference in how fast I build chi for reaming. Most the endgame Legendary weapons seem to be polehammers, like Pan Gu's Giant Axe, Gatherstorm, and Ashura's Purgatory. The spike dmg is decent allowing for some nice crits and can make the difference in a duel.

    heh, yah =/ Didn't notice pwcalc has all their poleaxes in polehammer section and visa versa.

    But like I said, doesn't really matter it just tends to be what I use because they're well statted legendaries.
