Actually, it is extremely overpowered. It can take out golems easily, and they're supposed to be a challenge usually. And it can even take out trolls, which just adds to the list. Kills ettins too, but you don't really run into those through out the game. 25 strength actually is something since you won't be getting encumbered anymore. Fill every single one of your inventory slots with a dead body (they're 75 pounds each) and you still won't be encumbered.
Now you've got 2d4 +3 damage with it. You can get 11 damage +14 extra damage from the strength modifier. That's 25. Then there's the electrical damage. How much damage does that do, 1d4 or something? I can't remember Anyway it's probably around 30 damage right there, then have a critical hit and it's 60. I had Anomen wield it for me once, and having him hit below 40 was pretty rare.

Golems and Trolls are pitiful as soon as you get Improved Haste. It's not that useful; once you get a good Belt/DUHM, you'll be able to run 23/24 Strength for a single turn. Encumberment might be dangerous when you're solo'ing, but if you can get Crom Faeyr, you can get the Bag of Holding. If you aren't soloing, then you really shouldn't have too many troubles with encumberment. Crom Faeyr may be useful for that single function, but who cares about damage when you can Stun/Slow your opponent?
