Many weapon attack animations feel cartoonish and silly. Wielding a mace makes the bloody Swan Lake start playing in my head with all the leaps and pirouettes involved.This won’t be fixed with just adding a new weapon type.
I think the poleaxe/pollaxe could be introduced as a variant of the two-handed hammer. That is, if the two-handed hammer category was altered into something that wouldn’t be a suicide in actual combat. The kind of mallet we have now is suitable for finishing off an armored knight lying helpless in the muddy soil of Agincourt, not for dueling with said knight.
