What gets me is that the Gurg hammer has VASTLY greater base damage but a lot less skill damage. Pretty much the opposite of everything I've ever heard.

It's because different percentages of the weapon's base damage go into skill damage. 2H str weapons have a really low percentage when it comes to that. I'd have to try and do the math again, but I recall staffs used to give as much as 70% into the skill damage, whereas 2H swords delivered far less.

@Battle, I wouldn't recommend using str gear as int/str, it isn't going to be very effective at all. If you want to use str gear, simply go str/dex. Int is only a good choice if you're strictly planning to use int.

And bears get screwed over again. Gotta love it.
