Might I note its striking resemblence to Victo's Battle Axe
This weapon is the slowest white weapon in the game along with http://www.wowhead.com/?item=15811 and http://www.wowhead.com/?item=2523
Regardless of what you think about Guild Wars, the comment remains valid. Downrating just because you dislike the game I mentioned, doesn't mean you should penalize my pertinent observation.
