So far, I've tried the slender khuj, the lochamber axe, the curved scythe, and the forged (capped?) halberd.
I can honestly say at my level of skill (18 str, stam, agil, 19 disc, nearly 100 ranks in halberd) the Khuj and Axe leave the rest in the dust by far.
Why am I so angry? Have I told you about my ex-wives?

Unless of course you can get your hands on one of those 37 stone Rayje forged ones. They rock until you got enough strenght to wield a 60 stone one. At that point the Awa (Rakash halberd) or the swapable Partisan rock more.

Hmm, I might be interested in trying that, if it's better than the axe and khuj. The sad thing is that as great as both of these halberd are, my 36 stone bastard sword is simply a better weapon on every regard.
But then again, my whole stat training has been to keep 'em all equal (except charisma) so a weapon that is well balanced, utilized strength, and has a few nice edges is really going to do the best for my fighting style (I never get past winded until I try to run out of blood wolves wearing 7 full bundles)

I've yet to find a forged halberd that outperfoms the khuj/axe at similar weights. The lack of impact damage on forged halberds will always leave them lacking in my opinion.
I've posted this before, but my recommended progression is short-hafted, wraith scythe, khuj/axe.
The khuj is a touch better than the axe, technically, but I have no idea what a khuj is, and lochaber axe just sounds damn cool, which has to count for something.

Aye, it was your post that inspired me to try the axe and khuj. Yes, it's the lack of impact damage that makes the forged halberds nothing more than katars with a long roundtime. I experimented with one for awhile, and found it slowed the time it takes for me to kill things by average by nearly two times. Even though neither the axe or khuj have good piece, a standard dodge, jab setup makes slice and bash just about remove anything at my level.
I really like the axe quite a bit, mostly due to the impact damage. It is, as you said, very much like a good two handed blunt with an edge on it.
Now if a forged halberd could have decent balance and suitability as well as impact, it might be able to compete.

The current forging template simply wont allow anything that good.
Forged halberds (37 stone) are good for beginners or for those who want a balanced pole-ranged weapon, but once you get the strength there are better store/festival weapons. Same goes for pikes, except that there are no decent store bought ones, only festival.
If I were to spite my face, in my opinion, cutting off my nose would be a reasonably good start.

I'd include the halbred from Boar Clan in the middle and the partisan at the end of that list.

>Someone mentioned the ava (Rakash halberd). Are they really that good?
Those are pretty much a clone of the tzece from Leth.

A heavier clone and a swappable clone of the Tzece.

I've tried all of the halberds available and really find using anything but a Lochaber Axe or Khuj to be a waste of time. I also favor the Axe over the Khuj but the Axe is such a pain to keep repaired... not to mention the cost of repairing an Axe. You can buy a brand new Khuj for the cost of repairing an Axe.
30 more lessons until I break 400 in Halberds - then I may try my hand at forging em too.
