BFG melee is operating incorrectly

[koros]

Just finished the BFG quest on my ranger, and it doesn't appear to be working correctly. It's saying I'm "punching" the mob, but since it uses skill=archery, I'm pretty certain that it should report "hit".

Additionally it should get double damage for stationary mobs and be able to crit (I haven't gotten one in quite a few fights)

Found the plank on the first iceberg north of the dock, right on the edge by the water, I had been lookin for several days and was very happy to find it, then on my way back to the dragon ring to get a port and head to WW to pick up my BFG I found it again right by the frozen tower [You must be logged in to view images.

I just saw this little bag on the ground and picked it up, but it wouldn't let me cause it was a lore item, so I assume it was the plank again.

Waited at Sirens Grotto for a succor over to WW but couldn't find one, I ended up running through, one part of that is tricky but once your past it its not too bad.

Nice toy, but actually usefull to a ranger, any other class to get it is pretty much a waste. When I melee with it my archery raises, also it does double dmg on montionless mobs, even when i melee with it. Also its VERY nice with /disc trueshot since you get the massive trueshot dmg PLUS the added dmg of your offhand melee.

One night in seb with it I got my archery from 194 to 215
