Longblade of Vitality  

 

my friend got this for me. we had 25k each to get spent on, and this was the first thing i bought.. dunno bout u peeps, but i got a real good deal. i bought it fro 5k HAHAR. ist wep was shissir knight sword,second shaded blade and now this. ima SK BTW. So after having these fast weapons where do i go from this fine sword that slashes alot? i was always afraid i'd keep saying, well, the ratio is only 5 more than my current weapon..and the damage is 7 more than this one.... so why dont i get it? then i keep getting slower and slower... please, tell me, is the blade of disruption much better than this for a level 42?

I had this for a couple months... nice sword for the 55-60ish range until blade of disruption is useful.... Served me well..

Not bad....bought mine yesterday.
Not that good either...stats suck.
MAce of dark glory better imho

I just got mine last week, when i sold someother things. Its a solid blade and i like it alot. The best part is that i bought it for 9k and reading these posts i see that is a pretty good damn deal . thanks good luck getting your own.

I have a general question. I have had this for quite sometime now and love it. I also have the windblade. I was using this and shield when MT for extra AC, and WB when offtanking, but I always felt this with 50 AC shield still outdamage the WB.

My questions; does the higher AC shield cause more damage than 2HS bash?

Does the frequency of hits naturally increase the number of processes. I put the 75HP lifetap augment on this, and have my Pious might up. Because I swing this so many more times, does my number of chances to process also go up. If so, could this make up the difference due to lower damage bonus?

Thanks

Pally/SK not being major DPS class and not having greatstaff of four winds or better, needs this. you get a huge hp/ac boost + a classic knight look. Windblade is better dps, but if you need stats then sell the windy and buy
Vitality until the no drop boost =)

65 pally on Quellious

it has less dps then windblade, but you can equip a shield. Also, in PoP reposte dmg is a pain, so high delay is good ;P.. windblade is better.. especially with bonus and 2h bash aa.

I have all 5 weapon skills maxed so all my options are open, i am tempted by this blade though already have Blackblade of the Rain for my 1hs which has great stats, though the extra damage and the bonus AC this longblade gives does tempt me to get it.
As for 2hs i have used Frostreaver for as long as i can remember and i have 2handed bash AA but now that i have decent 1h i tend to use it more, though there is no way i could say which was more effective

Me wuz keelin en Nadox wid me big brudda Grundir, wen me get a tell frem sumbudy naym Darkelff. Him ask me if me wanna buy dis fer 10k. Me told him me alredy had a 1h dat me dun uze too much, so me not inerestud.

Den he sen me anuder tell sayun he need da muny bad, so me tell him me gib him 9k fer it. He say ok, so me log da mule en da bazaar en buy it frum him.

It nice sword, but me still lik me Windblade, er Marshall's Bladed Staff. Me alzo gots a Diseased Greatstaff en a Windriderz Lantz. Me gots all da toyz fer keelen, cuz me gotz da big bruddas dat make da plats, an now me helpen to gets more lewtz.

But itz a nice sword.

It can be placed in secondary slot,at some point is there an AA ability for Pal or SK that allows them to dual weild? if not why have it able to be used in both hands lol just wondering :)

My only complaint with this badass sword is that its looks are more suited for a ranger than a pally or an SK. Its got a leaf inlaid above the hilt with vines going up the blade and the pommel is a freaking acorn!! But the damage and stats rock, and from a distance it looks cool... But that damn acorn. Ahh, oh well.

Does anyone have the slightest idea how much this weapon goes for on Kane Bayle, no one seems to post anything about my server.

Oops that was my first post here, I meant for it to start with

I've had this sword now for 3 weeks, and it's hard putting it down for a 2hander. The speed is just incredible. I've usually got a dose of Speed of Vallon, pally haste (Marr spell), and a haste item (only have SCHW), (and when these three are put together, I'm sure almost anything would deal out the damage), but the Longblade just screams...feels like hitting as fast as a ranger or rogue dual-wielding, and the hits are consistent 140's, 120's...

It's nice seeing flurries of hits going on...hitting 8-9 times on a slow'd mob before he gets a hit in, and the screen scrolling with your own hits. That and the ability to hold a good shield make this very DPS effective. I've tried it in duels as well, and much prefer it to a 2hander. I've only seen 3 of these being negotiated on in the bazaar. Mine cost just under 20K, but I've seen one go for 16K, so maybe the price is dropping fast. I've tried quite a few weapons, but never had as much fun as with this one.

I got this sword as a trade and Im happy I did. This sword is fast and with my strenght at 169, 1/3 of my hits are in triple digits. Sometimes I even see some fast quads with all triple digit hits. Buffed up to 255 on raids, more then 98% of my hits are triple digits and some above 200. The ratio on this baby is sweet---top five 1HS in the game for SKs & Pallies and a close 3rd on the damage/delay ratio. I've been hoping my guild would raid the THO in the Deep more so I can get the Ancient Gladious, but I don't need that sword now that I have this baby. The only thing I don't understand is why some people would compare this sword to a Windblade. Not only are they two different swords, the Windblade has a much higher damage/delay ratio, meaning the Windblade is suppose to outdamage the LBoV. I use a Black Bastardsword for 2HS. Thats more of a similar comparison and my DPS on both weapons are fairly the same. The nice part about using this sword is I can carry a shield to increase my hitpoints, AC, resists and other stats. I'm anxious to get some AA points into some offensive skills to see how well this sword works someday.

Just saw this on Saryrn for 6k. Thought I was missing something, but bought it. Sure enough great weapon. Beats the Massive Dragon Shard.
It is awsome.

Even though its nice to wield sweet one handed weapons such as this would you really spend the plat for it when you could always get an insame dmg 2h weapon? The fact of the matter is that because we ( pally's/sk's) can't duel wield we have a pretty low dps. So why not just get a good hard hitting weapon. I am currently using disease imbued great staff and it is doing some really nice dmg for me, dont think i would forgo dmg for speed being a non duel weilding class

Paying Well on Quell for this. send tell to Ezdaar or snaper or fronk, tellem your trying to contact Ez, they will know what to do.
will pay decent price.

how does the magic damage work on this or any sword pls .I have one and it doesnt seem to hit as hard as my massive dragonclaw shard used to ?
thanks

wow, very nice item.. and it's tradeable. Once these hit the market they'll probably fetch $$$

Very fast... very strong.. very much want one..

Anyone know what this drops from??
