scatter - you're spot on with the muramassa and zatoichi, those are good choices. unfortunately, i've found the muramassa almost impossible to get. and the monk, with 25% bonus to martial arts, doesnt really get better with a weapon. but the zat bo at least makes it a choice (rather than being forced to default to MA).
regarding the valk and dread spear, the valk gets a 25% bonus to polearm, which means the dread spear bonus is virtually wasted.
and my personal experience with dual mace, with both lords and fighters, is that they're strong, but there are multiple swords available that are better (more damage, faster swings, comparable effects such as KO, IK). and in spite of less damage, the 10% IK on the stilleto makes it a decent alternative to DE.
