I agree, I rarely carry a weapon, I keep my bloodclaw around for killing
random aggo greens that I don't want to blow 100+ mana on to slaughter, and
I occasionally equip it while grouped to poke the mob in the back, but it's
mostly for show. Glowing stein and black tome all the way :) You just can't
argue with 176 intelligence.
