Oh, I know. The players going with an Int build do not use the stun baton the same way they would use a club.
If you want both great melee dps and cool turrets then you need to invest in 2 attributes.
I get that some players would prefer if whatever attribute they pick had always the best dps and best effects and it should all be on one item to avoid the stress of thinking. I just don't want to do that. =P
For every single weapon, and yes, that includes batons and spears, someone will always pipe up that this is their favourite weapon.
That doesn't mean that these people are stupid or wrong because those are not always the optimal dps weapons - they just play in a different way, using the strengths of those weapons instead of stubbornly amplifying their weaknesses.
