Celtic Heroes

I've starting to play as a druid and bought the hand-to-hand ability, but is it really effective at all? Are there any advantages to it?

I beleive totem is better dps but at higher lvls books which are h2h are better for healing because of the stats. But its hard to swing while healing unless your stacked with incombat energy regen.

If you have lux, then use H2H with a until you start leveling in Stonevale. Then get a totem.
