most useless weapon/item

[Faceman]

What do you consider the most useless weapons and items on SoA.
I am not talking about "Dagger +1" or cursed items but about supposedly powerful magical items that are not as useful as one would think because of the game surroundings. Or weapons which disappointed you in effect after having hoped for them a long time.

Like the Bastard Sword +3 against shapeshifters which would have been great in BG1 but makes no sense in SoA - or the Harmonium Halberd.
Or just certain effects like Daystar not being able to hit some undead as they are immune to +2 weapons.

Hmm.
The Broken weapon in Johnny Boy`s duneon maybe?-It is the most useless item in the game.

bullets (normal) w/o a sling

Alson's vote for the supposedly-powerful-yet-utterly-useless magical item: Wave +4.

That extremely marginal Necklace of Form Stability. I mean, when were last time you saw an enemy cast Polymorph Other? If it also protected against petrification we'd talk, but as it is now it is pretty useless.

Infinity Explorer lists "Effect: Save (Petrify/Polymorph)" (Param 1: 5). This is the same effect Ring of Protection+1 uses for its bonus vs Petrify/Polymorph (Param 1: 1). Not so bad, eh?

Where's a Basilisk threat when you need one?

yaga shura's mountain strong hold has nothing but firebased enemies, that means slap the wave on to one of your tanks and watch him kill everything in his path

I'd have to say Azure edge (I don't remember how to spell it), was very useless. It did not hit for much damage and did not seem to work too well every where. It was a horrible weapon for killing more powerful creatures too. I just stick with Dragon Slayer instead (seems to hit just about everything).

For a normal item: Worn out boots.
For a magical item: Saving Grace +3 Shield.
Possible spoiler...

iSaving Grace +3 isn't that great a reward for returning the rift device in the Unseeing Eye quest, and there are better shields out there.

My opinon is that Azuredge can be very powerful. Especially if it`s upgraded. But i prefer Mace of Disruption+2
