The problem with a pole, is I don't know of any that are fast enough. My interest in bows began when the discovery of Buriza was announced, and I started thinking more seriously when Isolde mentioned melee attacking while in wereform was not a bug...or if it was a bug, it was a bug whose use was sanctioned.
When we had the late lamented communal (pun more or less intended) experiment

...I mentioned I had a shocking demon crossbow of thunder, but I've never had a character to use it.
I still don't have a character to use it. But I have a werewolf on his way through nightmare with Vidala's Barb. Only weapon he's used since he was fourteen. It may not be an end game item, though we'll see how far he gets with it. Since deciding to use the Barb, he's only needed potions twice: once facing diablo, and once tonight when he had an experience shrine at the same time as a friend entered the game. Instead of fury, he was attacking by switching in and out of wereform. At least the boss dropped a Rogue's Bow. That was worth two purples.
I had not previously considered Kuko Shakaku. I had thought of Demon Machine, which should be faster (and which has higher percent to pierce). If he outgrows Vidala's Barb, I might let him try Demon Machine. It seems a bit less common on werewolves than Buriza.
I'd like to continue the discussion (and explain why I was interested in what kind of damage was shockwave), however it probably ought to be continued in the armory.
