Great Flail of the High Priest - Insane Damage or Display Bug?

[MillsFairchild]

A guildmate of mine looted the fabled Great Flail of the High Priest off a master chest today.  To a lvl 48 Paladin, it shows pretty normal damage.  To me, a lvl 39 zerker, it shows INSANE damage like this: <img src="http://www.millsplace.com/eq/images/flail.gif"> Can that be right? <div></div>

<P>That has to be bug, if you did get this weapon and did do that kind of dmg. ITS A MAJOR BUG and you could use that till well past 50. </P> <P>I mean 104.7 dmg rating? that almost doubles my Primsatic Greatsword which is something like 59.8 dmg rating not sure excatly since im at work, but I do know that it has the "highest dmg rating" in the game for 2h. Look at your DMG with it your more then doubling the base dmg unless your str is like 600 or something. </P> <P>Thats awesome hope you got it and do major dmg with it, you could easily take out white to orange double ups solo with that, specially with the proc to delay on it. </P> <P>Congrats man. </P>

The listed damage is very likely the result of the person inspecting the item having the "Spirit of Harclave" buff <div></div>

The PGT tops out at 40, and I regularly hit level 52 mobs in Splitpaw with it for 25-38 damage per swing, and regularly get procs from it (still working on SM). The same goes for Ghoulbane, thought I keep that one around just for kicks.

<DIV>I don't know about the rest of you but when I have the harclave buff my displayed weapon damage for my weapons does not change, looked at both the PGT/SBD combo I zoned in with and used to get to the ark and fight the first pop there and the Hero crook I switched to for the rest of the zone and none of the three had any change in their damge/delay or Dmg rating.....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And he stated a 48 paladin showed pretty normal damage on it, so it would seem that either it is a bug for him or the image has been altered</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Jinos</DIV> <DIV>Lucan D</DIV>

You need to inspect the weapon, moving mouse over it doesnt show the diffrenece, when i inspected my drayek's axe, its had 140.5 dmg rating <div></div>

hmmmm, I did inspect it because I thought that exact thing might happen, how strange!  I must go check this out again.
