very early in the game this weapon was not lore and you could dualwield it, constantly proccing the rune effect, made it possible to use druids as main healer in group,
tho when we as some rag tag team wearing banded and leather armor sneaking down through lower guk in their early 30ies and then get violated by a bloodthirsty ghoul :) by then its obselete :)
on new progression servers this is a good early weapon to get if they follow the timeline with fixxing items too
