I currently play mainly my 27/18 plate armored Poleaxe warrior because it's the easiest way to do well in this mod. Rags and spam is much, much harder. You're sounding like Panos when you complain about every single other playstyle except for your own.

poof now everyone  suddenly is using poleaxe
no more rags and agi builds simply magic

I personally play a high agi 21/24 or 18/27 polearm build and i find as long as you are competent at blocking you can easily spam someone. I find it quite easier than a 27/18 which i have tried.

^ This. I pay you $$ for this....

What would you do with the transition between rightswing and the other attack directions?  Right now "hand-order" on the haft remains constant between them all (which may be to blame for the awkward animation in the first place?).  With the new rightswing and the old everything else, you have to switch hand-order, which, as far as I can tell, would involve letting go of the haft momentarily with at least one hand.  This isn't necessarily a bad thing, just wondering how it would be handled. 



Random thoughts:

Have you considered changing the overhead to the same grip as your proposed rightswing (i.e. right hand closer to the head)?  If the rightswing does end up being changed, I think that would make more sense visually.  Also it sort of gives you a "balance" of two attack animations using one hand-order and two using the other. 

Have you played around at all with the idea of an attack animation that starts with a wider grip that narrows as the swing progresses?  Found this video where they seem to do that quite a bit:

You let go as the weapon rotates anyway with current.
But yeah, some good ideas here.

Anyone who has ever used an axe to split logs could have made better polearm animations than the devs of warband...
