In my opinion polearms are not worth a thing although only 4 classes are allowed access to them. If I were to take a poll of the best reach subtypes, I'm guessing there wouldn't be a single polearm in the top five spots. That's wrong. Polearms are THE weapon type that is based on reach. Either wimp poleaxes or buff polearms or some combination of both of these. Preferably just buff polearms all around. When reaching axes, spears, exotics, and swords are more popular than weapons that are actually built for reach, I think that's an indication those types might be too powerful. Until polearms are as strong as some of those - they'll always be a waste of space.
