weapons are optional, speed won't be changed because you can't modify a weapon to make it a pvpers new best friend. Although if there is little enough damage the staff/admin can choose to raise it's attack power in this case: the war fork. I agree it does hit very little but it also hits very fast so it's hard to balance it out.

Remeber guys weapons are optional at any time in a duel if you would like to use a ba or bard you can do so nobody is stopping you =/
