I imagine they have other plans for pickaxes and such, maybe the next tier will be made with something else. Though a Maul would be sick, but it'll probably end up using 1/3 of your stamina to swing to deal the same amount of damage a mace could do with 2 swings and 1/8 of your stam. I moreso hope they add some set bonuses for 2 handers. I honestly feel like they missed a nice opportunity for a third-tier Maul weapon. A Black Metal Maul (or Sledge) could have looked so awesome.
But yeah, we definitely need a higher-tier tool set. While there is a Black Metal Axe, there definitely needs to be a Pickaxe. I'm also of the opinion that the Hammer needs at least a Copper and Iron upgrade.. maybe to allow for more flexible building/world-shaping options. (Also the Hoe, but yeah.)
But anyway.
