LOL.
Normally I'm the cynical bastard who loves to point out these things, but when I look at numbers, I see a theoretical imbalance. Not only that, but I haven't had a single person who can form a coherent argument provide to me any reason as to how The German Poleaxe and Elegant Poleaxe aren't blatantly better than the German/Danish Greatswords.

I would ask that everyone, the developers especially, try to look more carefully at the people who are posting "x is terrible, y is better than x now". Remember these are blanket statements but most of the time people are only talking about one weapon specifically.
Properly conveying one's thoughts, most people are terrible at it.
Edit: While I'm going to leave this here, I just started playing after the hotfix and pole thrust is back to how it was pre-patch. This changes things
significantly.
