I've been playing a 36/3 build using long weapons (scythe, fauchard, bill) and loomed quarterstaff. Scythe and fauchard make people rage especially when you kill them with jumpswings, so it's always fun to listen to them afterwards (although good players counter it easily). Some even started a rage thread to nerf scythe because of builds like this using it (

I can do as much if not even more damage (depending on speed bonus / angle) with my quarterstaff than people using danish with lower PS. On top of that it's very fast, as long as a poleaxe, got knockdown (low weight but knockdown chance also depends on damage dealt so it does happen relatively often), cheap, 1 slot and thus useful for lots of builds as backup weapon, as long as you've got decent PS ofc.
You're very slow as a pure str build like this but you can deal very high damage with pretty much any weapon. You might need time to get used to it but it surely is fun and underused (at least with the weapons I mentionned).
