Actually regardless of what your lvl is bash will stun if it lands, Assuming the mob isn't flagged as unstunnable like giants. damage isn't important as far as bash goes interrupts are
Can bash with a 2h, thats why this is troll/ogre only imo. Doesn't matter though, nobody who is killing Inny would use this weapon to replace what they have. What a joke, his whole loot table with one or two minor exceptions is just a total waste. Its a damn shame.

I'd much rather have a 1h weap anyway (though the Bloodmon off Inny would sure not be my pick)... I do a LOT of tanking; I MT in most groups in seb/velks im in, I tank mobs that don't require defensive on raids as well as dealing with mob placement issues and ping-pong because of the intensity of SK aggro and the added AC from a shield is very nice. Even the uber 2hs like the petrefied heartwood flameberge from tunare would have a hard time replacing my shield/1h in many situations... for bout the same effort, I could have a Frostwrath (which gives 20ac itself hehe). For much less difficulty than either of these items, one could aquire an ebon mace (19/24), noctivigant blade (18/26 10dex 15int), sword of pain (19/25 10ac 50mana clickable grim aura) my personal favorite ;), or even a mace of the shadowed soul (19/29 10int). You could couple one of these with a sarnak battle shield or better for what is in my opinion a much better choice. I have a strength of grodan in one of my bags but I use it maybe once a month if that, I'd generally rather have the 1hs/shield combo. In alot of situations, I'd lay down my epic (if i ever got off my lazy *** and got it) for even a medeocre 1h/shield.
Now I realize that not every SK out there deals with as many angry, high-end mobs as I do but for someone who even is a part-time tank, I suggest 1h weaps. I for one would never fight in icewell or the like without a shield, the AC makes too big of a difference.

I, like many DE SKs, prefer the 2 hand slashing, reguardless of the bash problem. The Dark Reaver is a very desirable weapon to any SK, reguardless of race, and good SK 2 handers are much more common than good 1 handers.
I for one do think it is unfair to Dark Elves, but not without good cause. To get this weapon, you must kill Innoruuk. It would make sense if very few, if any at all, items dropped by the Prince of Hate could be used by his children, as they would have to kill him to do it.
Although I do not mind that DEs cant use this sword (although it does KICK!), I think that you are very incorrect when assuming that DE SKs will not use 2 hand slashing.
