Issue with the Maelstrom Pike

[Chloe123]

So I wanna try this Maelstrom pike because this looks special, only craftable by aquatic elf and has a drown effect. However it results in a very disappointing experience for these reasons:

1) the onhit effect drops my expertise mode.

2) the drown effect is usually eaten by enemies' SR.

3) the extra damage is easily diminished by DR, it's so common that I believe any x/+1 DR will prevent the damage.

For the above reasons, this onhit effect is negative property, what about we just change it to something else?

And to add to that, the on hit messes up other scripted on hit effects such as poisons, bladethirst regen or hexblade regen.
