Subject: Can clerics really use the Brutechopper?


There is a 2H slashing weapon called the Brutechopper. Stats 16 damage, 50
delay, and hits with magical damage. It's the fruit of a Troll quest (I
don't know the details), but if you are not a troll, it can be sometimes be
purchased from other players for around 200 pp. It can be used by large
races. I have played with an ogre who used one with great effectiveness.

Now here's the odd thing: the weapon info on www.gameznet.com/eq states that
it can be used by 'priest' classes, including dwarves. I assume that by
'priest' they mean clerics, as there are no druids among the dwarves. Unless
they are thinking of paladins?

Can this be true? This is a two-handed axe thingie, 2H slashing. There is no
other slashing weapon I know of that clerics can use. Plus, how do you train
in 2H slashing skill? As far as I know, no cleric guildmaster is able to
train that! Don't you have to put a skill point into it before your skill
will rise?

Does anyone have any information on this weapon? Has anyone used it, as a
cleric?

Not sure I would want to use it, it's only minimally better than a glowing
wooden crook staff, which can be had for substantially less money, but
still, I'm curious as to whether it is actually usable by clerics.
