...didn't like or use 'polearms' before now, I grudgingly bring my staffs along to bring up those skills, when I run out of magic food, the lightning punch takes over.

I parry and then thrust--big time into any/all opponents, my new favorite H2H weapon. Superb crowd control as well...there always has to be a 'best weapon' please allow this one to have it's rightful place and touch nothing!
