<p>Okay, I know I know...</p><p>It's a tank weapon. A taunt proc is probably about the last thing a non-solo swash needs, and if it ever drops for me i'm sure i'll have to scrap with whichever meatshield wants it and have my ears bleed afterwards.</p><p>But do any swashies have it yet? Any feedback, hard data, "omg the tank can't pull it off me ever" stories etc.</p><p>(For those who don't know, it's a 6 sec delay 88DR 1h with 450ish max damage)</p><p>--</p><p>Rahael, Purity Nagafen</p>

Where does this drop?

[Hamervelder]

Isn't that one of the weapons available from faction merchants?

[Rippitt]

I believe it drops in crypt of agony. Think about this: Avoid (4.0/min) has a 40% chance to proc on any melee swing with that weapon, reducing 1648 threat at M1 The proc on the weapon (1.6/min) has a 16% chance to proc on any melee swing with that weapon, increasing threat by 600 That thing only makes 10 swings per minute :O

[PaganSaint]

About 20 swings per minute with the average haste a Swash will be running with during combat with a haste item and an agility ring.Hits like the proverbial freight train and proc's pirate stab nearly every swing.One hell of a wis line weapon.

<p>Same's true of a guard who isn't MT, if you see my point <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Anyway, you don't mind dragging me through COA a few more times til it drops, do you?!</p><p>--</p><p>Rahael</p>

[Spag]

<p>I was lucky enough to get it my first time through COA, and I havent seen it drop since.  I have been through there about 8 times since then, so I am guessing its not a common drop.  Though, I still need another level before I can use it.  It will be interesting to see what damage this thing can put out with ~100% dps, ~100% haste, and about 40% DA.   STR, AGI, INT specced so not worried in the least about the taunt.</p>

[Mörk]

<p>I was fortunate that it dropped for me last night. Now all I need is the 70% I need to equip it, and the 9 levels worth of Slashing skillups to make it actually hit things <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>I think I will also be respeccing back to wis line for it, unless anyone knows any good ROK 3 second delay weapons to match it with. My only 3 second is Wurmslayer, and having the asynchronous autoattacks of Soulfire Sabre in offhand would probably make me feel ill <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> (and yes, I already petitioned it from Gladius to Sabre, so no chance of swapping it back :S)</p><p>--</p><p>Rahael (old school Labs parse kept for posterity and laziness).</p>

[Spag]

<p>Its a nice weapon, having auto attacks crit for more than 5k is a nice thing.</p>

[Mörk]

<p>Aye, had a 5k on a named in Maidens and a few 4ks too, also hit for 1.7k in pvp (had a 1.6k 1.1k double attack on a necro too :O)</p><p>Raid debuffed mobs will be tres fun</p><p>--</p><p>Rahael</p>
