Also, on kind of a side-note, in GW1, some of the skins were obscenely large for a one-handed weapon - the Fellblade, for instance, which was a one-hander in GW1, but is becoming a two-hander in GW2; some of the axe skins in GW2 may give the impression of a two-handed axe (Stygian Reaver, I'm looking at you).
