    Verigan's Fist

    My first (and only) character is a Paladin and rejoiced for many days after soloing the quests and SFK for it at lvl 25.

    I put a "Greater Impact" on it and used it to lvl 42 when i decided to try Protection.

    Wish I'd kept it. Weapons should be upgradeable–I would use this all the time!

    Want more paladin 2h maces and polearms.

    Because there are no good looking maces (i.e. paladin hammers), and axes are out of the discussion, I have to say swords.

    for sure! so, yeah, 2h maces.

    (dang I wish they would bring this weapon back in cata or something :3)

    I would definitely prefer to use a sword if i could choose between equal stats.

    this poll atm displays my preferences exactly.

    2h swords at the top. Folowed by 2h maces,a nd lastly 2h axes.

    Yet 2h Swords are hardly ever used by blizzard. We get Axes the most, then maces and then the rare sword Exactly the opposite of what it should be.

    Swords should be swapped with axes.
    More 2h Swords, less Axes, and more axes with agility and less Swords with agility!!!

    You forgot polarms, dgaf if you don't like them, not a valid poll unless every weapon option is listed, so this poll ultimately fails

    Armaggedon was awesome 2H sword for naxx/wotlk release. Ulduar had ugly swords. ToC didn't really have any. Icc use 1 model of sword for marrowgar 10man and LK 25. Vanilla and BC had best ones.
    WoLK was full of axe some cool mace like ones in Icc

Bottomline is if I had 2 weapons with the same stats where one was a sword and the other a mace I'd take the mace
    Like myself, but in reverse. I appreciate that maces are slightly more "Paladin-like", but I just like the elegance of the sword.

    Maces, for sure. Can't remember where I read it but the Silver Hand seem to have some kind of disdain for swords, I personally wouldn't go that far but maces just feel more fitting. WotLK had so many axes it was hard not to take something like BoH or Bryntroll which was disappointing, especially considering the role of Paladins and Death Knights in the expansion.

    2H Swords, for sure!

    I wouldn't trade my Glorenzelg, High-Blade of the Silver Hand not even for a Shadowmourne

    Polearms got the least used animations. I like them.

    If it didn't knowingly cost me 1800-2500 DPS on heroic Lich King, I would completely agree.
