Finesse + two-handed = Spear
Well let me deal with the person above me with this little tidbit.
Take a Spear and use both Marshal and Scoundrel skills. (Mind you... The Spear REALLY needs to be updated to function with Scoundrels)
I don't really consider every weapon type to be all that essential to your learning experience.
HECK why are you taking points in two handed with a staff if your a pure mage? Stop!
