And you won't ever change during the EA because the tutorial weapon is the only valuable 2H weapon... And the more powerfull.
You can get the same bonus fire damage on other weapons by dipping. Imo other weapons have more interesting bonuses. E.g. a bear barbarian can fight relatively safely at 50% health when raging, so I'd give them the bloodied greataxe (also available early) instead.
