In groups, I use a big damage 2hander to melee inbetween med ticks. I'm using a gatorsmash maul at the moment(30dmg/70dly) and at lvl 23 its very nice to hit for 75dmg about once a battle for free. Since there's a 40 point damage cap before lvl 20 you should find a high damage weapon that will hit as close to 40 damage. The ogre war maul(17dmg/50dly) is a good choice. Its pretty cheap too, if you can find someone selling it. It isn't magical however, so you'll want to keep the treant staff for wisps, ghouls, etc.
