Not only is it still disappointing, you don't even get skill increase to your Axe skill for using it.

Big oofs.

It still gives you credit for chopping trees down towards your wood cutting skill. But you get 0 exp for combat hits. Been watching my axe skill forever and it still has not moved.

Have not tried the battle axe but If its a two handed weapon the skill XP might not be going to the axe skill since they are tracked as one handed weapons in this game,

Try checking the polearm XP.

Checked and neither of them is going up. Haven't used Polearms all game so its still sitting at 0. Axe exp refuses to increase no matter what.

Not sure what causes this bug as one of the above photos shows someone using the Iron Battleaxe and getting the skill increase. Sent in a bug report but we'll see.

Really just want them to make 2 handed axes bearable or at least superior in chopping trees.

Right now the 1 handed axe beats 2 handed ones in tree chopping.
