As Dundee said
Quote (you know from whom)
"Very well, an in-depth response":
It's one of the best and one of the first +3 weapon you will get in the game (for free), which does 'crushing' damage. It may seem at first as something not so important, but you will change that point of view as soon as you run into your first Clay Golem
Not to mention the elemental damage it does, handy to smack down the trolls. And looks zoomy. Did I already say it looks zoomy?
