Which do you guys prefer, and why? I'm leaning more towards the Long War Axe because of the higher damage and length, regardless of one less speed.

Long Axe Compared to Long War Axe. What you actually where wondering. Personally I prefer the Long War Axe. Long Axe has a spped and price advantage and its stab does cut cool and all but Long war axe has reach and damage. It all comes down to play style I perfer the reach and damage because again these are both small for Polearms and every reach counts. Again down to play style I used both and I perfer Long war axe by a mile but thats me. Try both but I perfer Long war axe.

Long War Axe, hands down.

Depends what build you have.

My build leans towards STR, so the 2 cut difference doesn't make much of a difference.

If you're used to a short weapon (like me with my bec), the Long axe will do you fine. LWA isn't much of a boost, in my personal opinion.

It's also cheaper by 3000g. So you'll be good with money.

Plus, if you like to horse around as a peasant like I do, the Long Axe stands out even less than a LWA

When in doubt about two similar weapons, take the coolest looking one. All I'm gonna say.

The rule of cool always wins out. You have to look good.

Therefore you should play with Goedendag instead of those axes.

I used the Long Axe for a 13/27 build and my only complaint is the cut thrust damage.
