I think both, dane axe and long dane axe are a bit baddly designed stat wise.
And now that i checked the other items and their counterparts, all of these items are badly designed stat wise. Hope there's gonna be some good suggestions and a small remade.
That 2h dane axe could have 2 or 3 less speed, at the moment it beats bearded axe in every way, and loses only 1 cut to celtic, beats it in anything else.
