A unique weapon with very interesting potential applications in PvP. For one thing, the sheer length of this weapon can be used against offensive builds to make them think twice about fishing for the BS, especially if used with the odd combination of light encumberment. The lightning will sting turtlers a bit through their boards, likely making them panicky as they are obviously very afraid of taking any damage anyway. Even if you stagger, you've been leaving pockmarks in their shield from so far away you probably have time to evade. The two-hand strong is dangerous to get caught by, somewhat uncharacteristic of a shield, dealing large damage and granting an opportunity to retreat. The one handed lightning bolt can be used to pressure foes into getting closer to you, but also puts them in your radius of poking.

Although it requires a very specialized build to maximize damage and will likeley be overshadowed by other weapons, it is nonetheless an interesting and unique weapon that is fun to mess with.
