SoQ is good but I don't think it is overpowered. It only does damage and attacks only as many times as a common flail.
Yeah, right. I was thinking that SoQ gave Quickness, that could be used to get an extra second-hand attack, but it's not the case (in Zen MIQR at least ). My mistake.
I'm not sure what you mean by a 50% draining effect. Life-drain weapons return half the damage done in hitpoints, and twice the damage done in fatigue.
