Staff of Writhing, Runed Falchion, Crystalline Blade,
Thullian Claws, and a few more are primary hand only.

An obs scim is kinda weak ratiowise for a bard, but
druids like it a lot. I've never had an obs shard.
The silvery axe is good. It looks like you are set
on the staff. There is a electrum bladed wazikashi,
but it's probably out of your league in obtaining it
unless you talk a level 50 druid into camping it for
4-8 hours, even then he'll probably want to twink his
own character with it after all that work, assuming
some buttonblasting wizard leaves the Caitliff alive.

You really don't have many outlets for good weapons
until you dual Yks. Rumor is they will disappear
soon, so the chances of getting those is getting
slimmer too. Then again, rumors are just that - rumors.

My suggestion, stick with your old guns, and beg your
favorite druid to assist you in getting EBWs (7/21)
One of the best 1hs ratios in the game, better ratio
than a Yk, except no proc. You'll begin to feel the
outshadowing of your melee the closer to 50 you get.
While I contribute a hefty amount of dmg, I see the
SKs and Pals doing 80-100 per round, and the warriors
around 100-150, and the monks 150+ (on a good day)

What are all the level 40+ people here wielding now?

Harmonic.
