Description: If you haven't seen my previous video about the differences between a halberd and a poleaxe: youtu.be/hJro4GoqO4Q Polearms have gotten more attention and appreciation in recent years and are not as underrated as they used to be anymore. Have they even started to be OVERrated by some people? Perhaps... why not explore the other main drawback, aside from the obvious (being difficult to carry and use in confined spaces). The fact that they can go from being excellent, arguably even overpowered, against swords and many other weapons to downright useless in a second. How so? Well, let's take a look and discuss...
