Desirability

While glaives generally aren't terribly impressive end-game weapons, the glaive of the Guard has a decent enchantment level and provides you with a number of reasonably useful intrinsics, and even though electrocution is normally better on small, fast weapons, this item will still do more average damage against non-resistant targets than a bardiche of flaming or freezing, especially when you're able to take advantage of its evokable berserk. Not a bad weapon overall.
