Hmm, we got the following weapons:

STR - maces
highSTR/lowDEX - axes
STR/DEX - swords
DEX - thrusting swords
DEX - bows
INT/DEX - daggers
INT/DEX - claws
STR/INT - scepters
STR/INT - staves
INT - wands

We do have some room here, flails might be highDEX/lowSTR weapons in mace class. Not sure about inherent bonus, maces have stun, scepters got elemental damage, axes got raw damage, swords got accuracy and crit multi...
Guess it might be a duelist weapon, it's surely flashy enough. The bonus could be longer reach, equalling two-handers, and high attack speed with average damege, the drawback could be inability to wield in off-hand as that's plain ridiculous.

We could have spears too as a pure DEX two-hander for rangers, they could have longer reach also and ability to ignore some percentage of armor (might be useful if enemies gain some meaningful amount of it someday). Yeah, shield charge could work with spears as an exception to make them more fun.
