I think the gear you have now is fine. If you wanted you could save your plat and focus on leveling and getting your epic. If you're set on upgrading your weapon, I would recommend going for a 2hb since you solo a lot. 2hb would help you avoid eating a lot of riposte damage while still doing heavy damage. The drawback of the PB is that it will almost certainly put you over your weight limit, although it does fantastic damage. Imbued Fighters Staff is comparable in price and damage, and is lighter. The problem with IFS is that since it's slower, your misses are more noticeable and more impactful.

Really I think it will come down to which tradeoff you prefer.
