It's the only ancestral weapon that's both 2 handed and has finesse or agile I could find. Which are the requirements for the new monk feat
What would be the best stance considering you already have a 1d8 damage dice, forceful works nice with flurry of blows and one inch punch makes a power attack impression. Too much of a noob at 2e and Monk to know if any of this is particularly good.
Making a jump and then striking with a 2 handed Sword with flying Kick sounds awesome enough to try it anyway but I'm curious how a build like that would look.
Half Elf can gain access to it at lvl 2 and recover a lvl 1 class feat with Ancestral paragon into natural ambition in lvl 3
Thinking more about this you could take multi talented champion dedication to eventually get expert in heavy armor for a full strength monk jumping top dex at +0 or +1 and then jump around in heavy armor. Edit:losing the speed bonus probably doesn't make this worth it.
I think this is the only way to get Forceful on a monk attack that uses dexterity to hit.
That's pretty neat.

No Elven Curve blade is not the first 2handed monk weapon.
The Bo Staff has been around since release.
Any Monastic Weps build would work with them, minus losing a feat to get Elven Curve Blade.

oh yeah missed that one.
Whirling Blades stance could be fun but there don't seem to be too many feats specific to two handers sadly.
Was looking at swashbuckler archetype with multi talented which would give you a couple neat feats. Nimble dodge for an AC increase of sorts impaling finisher to attack 2 back to back standing enemies. Could be fun.

You could do it either way, you can use str with finesse weps if you want, it would waste the trait though for a tiny bit of damage.
