The 'apply bonuses for both hands' exploit makes it a wonderful off hand weapon, IMO. Definitely the best Longsword for general purposes.
A +6 THAC0 bonus and a +3 Damage bonus with each strike is not to be underestimated.
Now that i think of it - it should work the same for the Daystar, as well... Hmmm...
Whoop-dee-whoop, +6 THACO, wow... how earth-shattering.

Before Equaliser: Only miss on a Critical Miss
After Equaliser: Huh, wha? What difference?

It might as well be a +20 THACO bonus for all I care. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

+3 Damage? This might seem good, but it is misleading. You forgot to mention the damage lost in the off-hand. There is no point boosting the main-hand if you cripple the off-hand. Heck... I am fairly confident I will get better results using Celestial Fury instead of the Equaliser, and you know my thoughts on the CeFury.
