Decent fury warrior weapon for its level but is rather terrible for a combat rogue as its far to quick.

Comment by Asher

I had this drop for me while grinding in Badlands, TWICE. I don't know why, but I chose to turn a pretty profit off this bad boy. It's nothing spectacular, but the farmers and kids with tons of money will buy this up quickly on the AH.

Conclusion :: Sell this for your mount money! 100-175 BO.

Comment by gryphon9

This dropped for me today while doing quest in Feralas (The ogres of Feralas) from a Gordunni Mauler. Was in desperate need for gold to buy mount so guess if I was hapy!! =P

Comment by Xykar

Wish it looked cooler. Bought out for 65g. Seems to proc a good amount.

Comment by Wafflesz

Saw this on a 39 twink rogue the other day... I don't know about you guys but... wtf?

Comment by Valdur

This weapon seems to be the best for lvl 39 Twink. It doesn't give any stats, but if you have money, you can enchant something good on it. This weapon is good especially against rogues, because of the chance on hit.
Another good weapon for lvl 39 Twink is:
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=868
But I would skip that weapon, because it doesn't give any stats that are necessary for a twink.

Got one funny and also true story with this weapon. My friend was doing some quests with 2 hunters in STV. Then suddenly Dazzling Longsword dropped and they all selected greed. My friend (Priest) was lucky with the roll, so he got it and hunters immediately said to him: "NINJA"! You don't need that weapon. Then my friend said that hunters don't need it neither. Then they had a big argue about whether is it a hunter weapon or not. He said that It doesen't give any stats, so it's pointless for hunter. Better choose a weapon that gives stats and are better. After that argue, hunters finally realized that he's right and he could keep the sword. He sold it to a guild mate for about 50g.

bad luck dude,i have this sword on my twink it relly nice

Comment by jarniss

Comment by Allotriophagy

I've had this sword on my paladin since level 36 along with Wall of the Dead (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=1979).

1) It procs quite regularly, often five times in fight, but does not stack.

2) The speed of 1.70 gives it good synergy with Protection talents such as Reckoning and the seals/judgements that restore mana and health. It's pretty insane actually - with a bit of luck I can regain almost 900 mana back in one Reckoning sweep.

3) The DPS is not bad even at 50, though there are obviously stronger swords around. I am hoping to upgrade to either the Hanzo sword, which is faster, higher DPS and has a more useful proc (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=8190) or Doomforged Straightedge (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=12535) which has good +bonuses on it.

4) It looks really nice with Battlemaster enchant.

I'd highly recommend this for paladins with money to burn over swords like the Sword of Omen (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=6802).

Comment by Medin

this just dropped in SM cath from the boss in the "secret" room

Comment by Swatz

This Sword Dropped For Me 3 Days Ago Off Of A Random Mob While A Guildie Ran Me Through For Gear In Ulda It Was Nice..Lol

Comment by Hysteriac

Every word isn't the beginning of a new sentence you know.

Comment by Furyo

After spending 200g on this sword and another 30g on fiery enchant i cant say im unhappy with it.

If i had the chance again however i wouldnt buy it. As a protection spec paladin i was just as well off using a Knightly Longsword (1.50 speed) as i am with this.

If you have money to burn go for it but otherwise i would just stick with a knightly longsword http://www.wowhead.com/?item=864 (for alliance) or a sword of omen http://www.wowhead.com/?item=6802 (for horde).

Comment by IceWeasy

This was my first epic that dropped from a random mob :). The amazing thing was that i got two of them in less than 1,5h ! Sold both of em and got 285g. Both of thoes swords dropped in dustwallow marsh.

Comment by Gzilla

Got this for about 140g from the AH. The sword procs, a lot, in pvp and pve. 30 second Faerie Fire from a prot paladin? Yes please! Best gold I ever spent.

Comment by Infernus

I managed to obtain both the Dazzling Longsword & the Green Tower for my Level 36 BE Paladin (yes it is still level 36 as I write this, I obtained them both yesterday), I had them in her bag and equipped the moment she hit level 36.

The armour reduction buff definately proc's very often. I put Crusader on my sword because my main unfortunately does not have Savagery.

This sword + Crusader + the Green Tower w/+18STA enchanted on the shield = I will love hitting 39 and dominating! (oh ya and I have the Wall of the Undead waiting for me if I ever get this character to 45!)

P.S. On my server, I snagged the sword for 200g on the alliance AH, enchanted it w/ my level 70, then sent it thru the neutral AH with the help of a friend to my BE paladin!

Comment by blubberbal

I bought this on AH for 120g whit an enchant Crusader .

Comment by RyuSenshi

i bought it for 90G for my twink warrior
gonna duelwield it with vanquisher sword and putting 2 enchants on int(crusaderx2 or crusader+mongoose)

Comment by Strasaphere

Got this for 170g of Ah, good price seen as it's usaly 150 on other server's and some guy had for 500g in AH lol, whacked a crusader on it and get the agis of scarlet shield with +15 stam and bob's your uncal your instant pwnage lol, Best gold ever spent and this is the 2nd lowest lvl epic in the game.

Comment by Jedicake

As long as you don't buy it for a rogue/warrior twink I won't kill you =)

Just plz people know what your mainhand speed should be, this is only good for a prot warrior or prot pally... and even then... I'd go with something with stam

Comment by Staberinde

Since this requires level 36 to use then it has the additional benefit of allowing you to put an expansion enchant on it to seriously boost its potential.

Comment by grezgorz

It may not have an ideal speed for enchant procs, but to say that rogues/warriors shouldn't buy this is going a bit far. With so many twinked rogues running around in the battlegrounds, it's not unreasonable for any melee class that can use swords to want a proc that prevents rogues and feral druids from stealthing, even if it reduces their dps. This may be an excellent weapon for paladins, but that doesn't mean it's of no use to rogues or warriors. Let's not get possessive of the loot here; there are plenty of drops for everyone, unless you're on a low-pop server :(

Comment by cocopro

update for 2.4.2: changed into one hand, pretty good for rogue twinks

Comment by Alsark

I actually picked this up from "Baron Vardus", a syndicate NPC in Alterac Mountains. Baron Vardus is not displayed as one of the people who drop the sword, though, but let it be known that he does indeed drop it.

Comment by kawnrtist

just got this beast at level 36. i had some spare gold so i threw a fiery enchant on it. i must say it is one of the best swords ive seen for around 36-50. when used with seal of the crusader it procs about every 6 hits.

xD

Comment by dougesofresh

Anyone know if you wield two of these can the effect occure twice without stacking since its from two diffrent swords?

Comment by Metroid99

Is this good duel weild for hunters with sword of serinity

Comment by Maxtro

What's a good price to sell this thing at? Wowhead's Buy Out says 150g and my Auctioneer says 900g. That's a huge difference in price level. What's a good price to start out.

Comment by Cadez

this weapon a long with mongoose can be deadly for a rouge or hunter in bgs

Comment by Dagangstakid

Excelent weapon, it lasted me for many levels. I got it for 90g on AH to, easily one of my best buys.

Comment by twinksftw

i just brought it for my sub rogue and with my specc 0/5/25 i have 100 dps on offhand with that alone (when the mongoose buff linghtning speed has activated other wise its 80-90) so this weopon is a must have and goes beutifully with sentinals blade (lvl 38 version). a couple of days ago i downed a twink war with loads of defence rating i repeat ITS A MUST HAVE WEAPON FOR TWINK ROGUES!

Comment by twinksftw

sorry about my last post i put that in befor i realised that you could mallet of zul'farrak which indeed is better than sentinals blade

also for twinks you should get the lvl 70 pvp shoulder inscript that increeses stam by 30 and hit rating by 15 you can put this on a heirloom then send it to your alts

Comment by jenaynay

I don't use this item, but it dropped for me in the DK start area, i was thinking WTF is this, really random

Comment by Keefgrinder

Sorry but what he said is true, this is a terrible main hand for rogues or warriors. You didn't really read his comment and just disagree with him? If i see anyone using a 1.5 1.7 1.9 speed in main hand they are absolute n00bs esp when you can easily get Mallet of Zul farrak for twinks now

Comment by Runeweaver

Had it drop while being boosted in Zul'farrak. Gonna sell it for quite a bit now :D

Comment by Blackriver

Trivia: Longswords in real life are traditionally two-handed.

Comment by CaptainMack

You probably won't believe me anyways, but gonna tell it as it is.
i've been questing in Hinterlands, while killing mobs i suddenly got this drop. Later on I got another drop.
so probably gonna dual-wield 'em on a rogue, if thats good in pvp?

Comment by Moodknight

when i saw a twink-hunter with 2 of these i wanted to cry....there were even no ench

Comment by Khorrupt

It's long and more dazzling that your average longsword.

Comment by mofo2

Hello

Would a 39 human warrior twink benefit more from this sword for tanking than the heirloom sword?

I mean the heirloom sword has crusader max enchant which is not bad at all, this sword however has a faster speed and is TBC enchantable (mongoose maybe? or still go with crusader)

Comment by Happyfaic

You can't forget it's supar smexy and it looks really awesome. RP will be awesome with this bastardo.

Comment by Thunerflick

It's dazzling

Comment by Iceveiled

Just looted one of these off a plaguebat in eastern plaguelands.

Comment by GoldenSin

Sadly, this weapon is no longer gold (in model). It now has a silver hilt with blue-green accents. Same model as the Alliance WSG 1H sword.

This really disappointed me when I realized the money I spent on it for the model went to waste not a few months after I got it.

Why, Blizzard? Why fix what ain't broke? Again?

Comment by dlbert2000

This sword applies Faerie Fire, and depending on its proc rate, may or may not be useful in pvp against rogues

Comment by kammtheman

Got this while farming Scholomance for jouster plate gloves, both of these work very well if you want to try and complete the imperial armor set for transmog.

Comment by cdonaldm

Got this at level 42 from The Lone Hunter in Darrowshire in Eastern Plaguelands

Comment by Izithel

Sword can drop from Big Crate of Salvage if you got a level 3 Salvage yard, don't know about the lower quality boxes.

Comment by Monthy

I have to tell you all HOW HOT this item is! It dropped on my priest but I didn't have a clue how hot it really was.
I saw that it was really special and thought it might be more to it than I could tell from reading on it.
Didn't check it up on wowhead or anything (very stupid). But I thought it looked strangely cool IN PURE GOLD, so I set the AH-price HIGH AS HELL, just in case.
Guess my surprise when it sold on buyout in 2 hours for 15000g. This was on Argent Dawn, RP, today.

I'm happy and I think the buyer is too.:)

Comment by blabblez

I am curious. I was testing the Bashguuder, which has also reduces the targets armor. I was attacking a brewmaster with the heirloom bonus armor neck and cloak. I noticed that the effect only lowers the targets base armor and does not lower the bonus armor values. Is this a buggy tooltip or is bonus armor not affected by armor reductions procs like these?

Comment by Wuatdah

This weapon will always have a place in my memory for me, it was the first EPIC item I ever obtained, up until Skullflame Shield

Comment by Slitsnarl
