Heavy casting implement concept

(praying mobile formatting doesn't dick me over)

While they hold out on us for actual meaningful content, I like to fantasize about potential new gear. One idea that struck me was the concept of a heavy casting implement.

This would be a 2 hander, with a hefty move speed penalty.

Would have high magic damage and pen to make up for its weight, and slow equip speed. The cast animation would similarly be slow. A little slower than old C. Sword methinks. Maybe give it a decent block? Almost like a casting pavise, but I don't know if allowing "good" blocking while casting would be OP. The m1 should be a single upwards swinging swipe, cause it's an unwieldy brick.

Who would use this? Tanky casters, mainly. Cleric, Platelock, Paladin if they ever add it.

Example stats at White rarity:

Obelisk

-base weapon damage: 37

-gear magical damage: 4

-move speed: -45

-magical penetration: 25%

-impact power: 5

-impact resistance: 5

cooking? slop? any other ideas? let me know. I'm so bored. The last thing we got to play with was ceremonial staff, and it's just a druid stat stick. bleh. my hope and wish for this game is at least double the current amount of weapons to play with, and all of them viable with enough skill.
