When you hit around 54-56, hit up the AH for 1-handers and type in a level cap of 60, but look for "reduced level requirements" and get a 700+ 1-hander. I saw level reqs up to -14 (level 46) but 54-56 is about where the prices get reasonable. Trust me, it's a whole other world getting an upgrade like that and will still serve you at 60 until you're ready to plunk down for a million gold weapon.
Finally satisfied that this, in fact, a game in the Diablo series.
