My experience from two generations with agility builds is that using heavy weapons and armors just means you can catch archers and possibly dance through infantry groups for 5-15 seconds before getting ganked and if you want to do considerable damage you have to rely on footwork and battle situations don't always allow that.

Run on sentence.

I'd go with elegant poleaxe for the looks. It looks far better than German poleaxe. Although for damage German is better but the elegant is 2 speed faster. I would go with elegant for the speed. Up to you whether you want more damage or speed. However are those the only two you're looking at?

What about the long hafted blade? Or the long hafted spiked mace? Spiked mace has blunt damage and knockdown which is always nice. Or glaive. Just throwing others other there. If you want the poleaxes for their shield breaking then I suppose you can ignore my other suggestions.

Elegant Poleaxe is bad bad bad. Go German.

I'm selling a +1 elegant poleaxe...why not just buy it and try it out?
Why pick just one?  I personally get bored using the same weapon always.

Pick either 15/24, 18/21. Wasting an attribute point is pretty costly. Also, regular Poleaxe. 31p stab dude!

Well you need 16 str to use some of those hard hitting polearms. And if i lose that one attribute point it will probobly one i could have added to IF, which is no big deal to me since this build is a speed build.  And if i have a heavy hitting weapon the main things im going to want are ATH, PS, and WM.
