Midgard 2 handed Axe Choice lacking anything worth using compared to hammer/sword

We all know there are the go-to weapons for each spec Dragonfury for 2h sword and quite a few hammers are great depending on what speed you want.

sadly 2 handed Axe seems to be left out in the cold for anything at a decent slow speed with a useful proc.

your options for feathers are
Axe of Icy Death spd 5.0 with a haste charge.
Dragon-shadow great axe spd 5.6 with Endo proc (even just changing this to life drain would be great)
Dread bone great cleaver spd 4.6 with an AF proc.
Swathe Cutter spd 4.7 with a Cold DD proc.

i've seen a post that said Basalt weapons were outside the timeline the server was following, and while the Basalt Great Axe of Anarchy was a go-to weapon I understand its being left out for that reason.

is there a chance for either a re-work for one of the less used axes or a custom item from any of the feather merchants to give us a go-to axe (not asking for OP stats) but a 5.5 spd with some kind of DD or if the gods choose a 95 life drain proc as most of the hammers use.

Thanks much.

Axe is pretty hopeless atm.

It takes at least 4 more styles to make it viable compared to hammer/sword, making it take more skill. This is on top of the fact that the weapons aren't as good either.

Perhaps a parry or evade stun would help it out to make it viable for skalds. The frontal styles are nice, but a big endo drain.

My SB is only level 24, but I find axe to be superior to sword. Does this change?

We are talking 2 handed. You have CS and LA styles and better weps as 1h. You're axe styles are also different than a Skald, Thane, Warr

No. You had evade styles and we have block and parry styles.

ya, I realize there's a lot of things to bring the spec to line its self up to par, but that's a lot of work i don't think ill be seeing anytime soon which is fine.

but hoping just asking for 1 item or an item change would be doable for the few people willing to use axe in its current state.
