This sword is awesome for tanking, nice speed, damage and the silence effect is even better.

Comment by bebbe

Does anyone have any info if this can proc on pallies who are BoP'd?

Could be a great help for warriors, switching to this when they BOP themselves, depending on the procrate of this baby ofc.

Comment by mysteltainn

This seems like it would have some utility for pvp - perhaps a warrior in 5v5 could use it to disrupt casters? A prot warrior would be resilient enough against melee - with spell reflect and a decently proccing silence, I imagine he's more than pull his weight as a 'utility' class.

Fairly easy to get and - while not high dps - 6 seconds is an eternity in pvp; especially when the opposition doesn't expect it. Diminishing returns exist in pvp for the silence, perhaps, but still. Worth a try, I would wager.

This weapon gained notoriety on the Rogue forums when it was revealed that Blizzard CM, Caydiem, who was in charge of helping balance the class was revealed to be MH'ing the sword on her own rogue. It's now a regular WoW meme.

It is a great utility sword for the level though and should be considered for 59 twinks. Just don't MH it on your rogue.

This sit on the hips

Comment by Rogabr

duel wielding these is stupidly OP even on a lvl 80, there is no DR and they dont share a PPM, its a flat %, vs a caster theres no way they'd even get a chance to cast. or even vs a DK, time to put in a ticket to get the proc rate reduced...

Edit : 14% Chance to proc.

Your healer must of been really good to survive through that

~~After 5 minutes of testing on training dummies level 60, 70, and 80 I can confirm that the effect of this weapon will not work on any target above level 60.~~

EDIT: After testing these weapons at Grim Batol it seems that my data is incorrect. These weapons were taking effect on targets level 61 and 62. I will continue to test out these weapons in Outland, Northrend, and in PvP combat for more data. Either the weapon's effect will not work on the level 70 and 80 training dummies or I was just unlucky with the proc.

See natch's post.

Comment by zelfana

So, usable only for 59 twinks then..? You can have an use for this only three levels while leveling then, not very useful when it doesn't have any stats.

Comment by fadeaway

Still procs nonstop for 59, 69, and 79 twinks!

Comment by natch

No longer procs on targets above level 71 and proc rate starts to decrease after level 61. Source here.

Whenever some player/players think out something that blizzard did not -like using old weapons& items- blizzard punished their intelligence instead awarding them.. Like most of them this got nerfed too.. /sigh

Comment by Skullhawk13

I do, Level 80 is all about being over powered in pvp, fair game.

Comment by TombLordMalifact

This weapon was golden, back before it was nerfed. It always felt good to watch those high-level ganker-casters squirm when me and a buncha' lowbies jumped on them and ripped 'em to shreds with this. The poetic justice in killing the guy who just ganked you with a lowbie weapon was priceless.

Comment by butcher098

it sheath's on the side, not on your back like its shared model Ginn-su Sword.

Comment by PhoenixUnity07

Anyone tried dualing these in bg on a low level dk? While nerfed at 80, these things would murder in Lv59 BG's.

Comment by Hyperlynx

Does not proc on level 70 targets. Tested 5-24-11. Procs fine on the level 60 target I tested at the same time.

Comment by Myf01

This used to be a 1.6 speed sword.

Comment by Leachmore

proc chance is ~5-7% (approximately with 13 procs out of 220 successful hits 49 lvl rogue vs 49 lvl plant mob), not 14% definitely. With this attack speed(2.40) and such a miserable chance, you should not rely on this proc in any case
