Uncommonly used weapons

I am sure this has been brought up in one shape or form. Yeah I am one of those folks trying to do something different and completely off the wall from everyone else. I am developing a character who is melee but does not use a shield.

Here it is. Greatswords, there are some good pre-triton weapons out there. Scythes, some really nice ones. Greataxes... not so much.

Currently I have found only the fire greataxe, hurricane greataxe, the burrow greataxe and the one dropped by the Order guy in LP. with the exception of the order one, they all give +4 to hit. The greataxe from the Order give none at all.

I am just looking for a greataxe that is online with tagnar's longsword, or the scythe of death, heck even the summoners rapier.

If there is such a greataxe in the build, then my apologies, if you could point me in the right direction and I am off for it. I haven't found one, other players haven't seen em, and some DMs aren't aware of em.

In the defense of all that, I understand that only someone who is mental would choose a greataxe, but hey, I want to try new things, but getting to 25 with a weapon that does only 40 damage (the burrow axe) and +4 (versus tagnars +7) will be a long road to 25.

Oh, and I would appreciate constructive comments if any, since this is the ideas and suggestion forum,, thanks.

Caveat to the above, of course this character is a weaponmaster, so not using the greataxe makes him pretty much worthless and even less ab.

Sorry, forgot to mention, Non barb specific. G1 greataxe is nice, but it is specific only to barbs...

Only axes I found in Dhara was the same one dropped in LP :/ no AB at all on it.

I didn't go all the way through though.

What about Dragonsbane. Good only, but a pretty nice Axe.

I've added three new greataxes into the mod with all the updates in the past three months. Two of them are preepic (level 1-18th), one basic in damage and the other one with better damage (and I'll fix the D'hara Greataxe, that's an error not having any Attack Bonus or Enhancement Bonus). There is also another axe that is 18+ available in one of the newer areas.

There are 4 new greatswords in the mod now, 3 preepic with good damage, and another 23+ greatsword in a really challenging area.

Yeah, it was figured the D'hara Greataxe was an error...

guess i'll have to do more poking around the new areas for the better greataxes..

Thanks Fang.

i know this is a bit of a post hijack, but you said there were some good scythes somewhere... my question is where? the only scythe i have ever seen is the one that drops in sunken city.

Scythe of Death is the best next to Triton Scythe.

One drops off the Guard Captain (probably isn't his exact name) in Tagnars room in dorfs (Fire Slicer) the other is called the Scythe of Death and you need to kill the Keeper past Draco to get that one.

death is best but fire slicer is still bad arse!

for pre epic Death Scythe is best since it gives death immune, letting you use some other belt besides death immune belts, and it has vorpal which can be very nice pre 23+ levels....after that not much chance of a vorpal hit on the monsters.
