Like I said, this is a decent weapon in the right situations. Normal play is most certainly not the right situation, but a base level sorcerer can get much use out of this as it swings much faster than a fist, while having more damage and similar range. By the way, assuming you're a sorcerer that won't level up, you can't one-hand any shields anyway, so that's a moot point. On top of that, the sorcerer has little to no stamina, so the BSS can at least be used without leaving you dry after two swings, like most higher damage weapons would, especially if you two-hand them.
