While I will agree that using a two-handed weapon is a good sport, I like to have magical protections. By combining proper order of two weapons, you can get a lot of added spell protections, extra AC benefits, yadda yadda yadda. Sometimes it's not always the best to do the most damage, sometimes it's good to just build up some protection. I like to use the Mace of Disruption +2 (immunity to level drain) with a wide assortment of weapons. I run a Ranger/Cleric and I hate losing levels. When I first started off I tended to rely on the Flail of Ages cause it was +3 and did 3 different types of damage. I have never much liked using staves, unless of course you are a mage and you get the staff of the archmagi, but I haven't found a good dual class to go with mage yet.
