And the normal attack did kill one guy in 2-3 hits but again, i was out of sta after one mob.

Does it get better with higher skill?

No Idea, but until I got this weapon I feared going into the darkwoods during the night to mine stuff. Now that I have this weapon, I have no concerns at all..
It seems to wipe out everything really easily. Most things die in 1-2 hits some of the star'd creatures take 2-4

That is pretty much on par with the bronze axe, as far as killing things.

One hit most things that are not 1 star. Two hits for 1 star. Three for brutes. Thereabouts.

I've been using nothing but axe for melee (bow for ranged, duh) since I started, so skill is pretty high.

Yeah but the polearm has a sweeping aoe which hits everything in a circle around you, it makes wiping up mobs of enemies really quick and easy IMO...
