I've been liking Sam's since Wiz-7, and i like the way the Lightning Strike works in W-8. I genrally take Attribute points in Str and Con as well, seems to be spread thin, but i alternate from level to level, so i'm still building Dex and Spd pretty fast and Sen 1/Level. I often start my Sams as Mage, for the extra points you get in not just the School but also the four Elemental Realms, and you can start your Dex higher. Most of my Bards turn into Sams by L15 or so (Muramasa). My Sam's get Lightning Strikes just as often with Dual Wield, as when using a shield--they just never get them with the Secondary, so it's fewer per attack. But with high skills in Dual, Close, and Sword, you definately get more total swings per round with two blades, esp if you got a Muramasa or Light. Something else with Muramasa and high Crit skill, many of my LS's are interrupted by the instawhack.
I don't hardly ever get a LS with Giant's Sword, but the Sword bonus makes GS a lot of fun anyway...
