This weapon is utterly underpowered considering the difficulty involed in
obtaining it. It is so bad I am almost ashamed to use my own despite having
kept this weapon from a kizarwexius kill years ago. This axe is completely
outclassed by EVERY SINGLE OTHER WEAPON in the same damage dice range. This
includes weapons rated higher than, equal to, or below paingiver on the
unofficial "compare list" provided on Batshoppe. The krafitgar polarm is
ranked one spot higher yet is TOTALLY SUPERIOR to paingiver axe. Sword of
clouds and divine avenger are equal, yet vastly more useful and generally
better rounded long blades. The black reaver axe, serpentyne long blade, and
deep green trident all rank LOWER than paingiver and for multiple reasons, are
ALL better weapons. The nightfall long blade is TWO classes lower and is a
SUPERIOR weapon. Even the henry battleaxe, 5 classes lower than paingiver, is
probably a better weapon to use in most situations.

The paingiver axe has a brutal combination of heavy weight, lack of speed, low
damage per hit, and moderately useful special stats. All these mixed together
makes for a weapon that has no business being called "paingiver".

Kizarwexius has been a very challenging kill in this game for many years.
Even old kizar was hard until mortals got too powerful and it had to be
uptuned. Granted, his ring is the best item, but I feel his axe should
actually be a viable weapon to use considering where it is "ranked" amongst
other weapons. I trust some wizard can look into this. I want to be, and
should be proud to carry this weapon into battle!

nod, give him a new axe, and let the old stay as what it is.

Sounds like it's giving you pain, so I don't see what's wrong with calling it
"paingiver".
