Adds +2 Strength (thus adding +1 To Hit in melee and +1 Damage with melee weapons) if equipped in the melee offhand slot. Though all classes can equip it to gain the Strength bonus, monks and rangers are the only classes that can use it as an offhand melee weapon.
This item is no longer equippable in the ranged offhand slot. It can only be equipped in the melee offhand slot.
