Is a Staff of Ruin a two handed melee weapon?

[Turtlejay]

I've been messing around with the Character Builder, trying to build a Sorcerer I *like*. The current incarnation is a Dragonborn Sorcerer with some Barbarian flavor. One build uses hybrid rules to get this done, and I was surprised when I went to look at the power cards that the Character Builder does not allow me to equip a +1 Staff of Ruin as a two handed melee weapon as required by the Barbarian at will Devastating Strike.

I consider the staff of ruin a two handed melee weapon, do you?

Yep that is a bug, an implement staff can be used as a quarterstaff...which is a simple 2 handed melee weapon.
