I like the graphic for this sword alot. The blade is silver and wide towards the hilt, tapering to a narrow wedge at the tip. The hilt is a pale gold color with a dark grip, and the pommel is a gold sphere. Can anyone tell me if there are any other blades in the game with this graphic?
Just got one for 4900 on Terris-Thule.Average price I've seen at this time is between 5 and 6k.I use a Frostbringer(frosty) in primary,and upgraded my Centi LS with the DLB in offhand.At lvl 48 I notice a nice dmg increase,which is good because I like to solo.It would be even sweeter if it had an effect on it,but as is,it's agreat wep. 8)
Sell it, buy yourself a venomous axe of the velium brood, and take the cash left over and upgrade your armor and other gear. Start with your rings. Get velium fire wedding rings, and scrap those str/agi rings. The replace that neck item, and your cloak.
As someone who's main is a cleric, it always hurts when I see a meatshield with almost no gear, and real expensive weapons. YOUR JOB IS TO TAKE HITS. You want HIGH AC and lots of HP. Damage output of your offhand sword is irrelevent. I know you said you solo, but that won't last much longer, and you'd probably solo better with better armor than you would with that sword.

I have a 57 warrior on Xev. Snowchipper in primary and this is secondary. Had a frostbringer in secondary before this and i notice a MAJOR difference in the ease to hold aggro. Would highly suggest this for offhand.

Posted:Feb 06 2003 at 11:33 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) had about 10 or 11 of these drop in a group the other night boo! We want more vita blades! =P
could anyone tell me if this would be better in secondary than a frosty for DPS and agro ..im just trying to figure out which is a better combo, I use a shortblade of lightning in my primary???
Keep the Shortblade in Primary (always keep lower delay in your main for more attacks which gives more agro) and if you have the Lightblade, definitely put that in your secondary over Frostbringer.
Bunk! The lowest delay weapon always goes in the offhand slot. I use a Lightblade in primary and a Baton of the Peacemaker in off hand. For every swing of lightblade i swing the baton at least 6 times.

Well,your wrong offhand damege is based on dly of weap,less dly in offhand=more offhand hits,your char automatically hits more with main than offhand,so...if you have a high dly weap in offhand and a low in main your gonna hit 4-10 times(depending on the dly) b4 hitting 1 time with off hand but if you have a low dly in offhand,and a higher in main,your ratio is better,example(ranger)(60+ Stained axe of the scions(14dmg,21dly)sec DLB(22dmg,34DLY)main youl hit say,2-3 times with DLB,and 1-2 time with SAotS,in one 4-5 hit round causing,roughly 300-310 dmg in a 6sec period but if their switched... you wil hit with SAotS 4 times and DLB 1 time causeing 280dmg in a 5-6 sec period,their about the same but 30 dmg is a lil bit more,hope this clears things up,but you can argue with me if you want......
actually dex has nothing at all to do with off hand delay and yes weapon delay does every time your weapon delay comes up you have a chance to swing with your off hand -- for instance a 20 delay weapon in your off hand means you have a chance to swing with your off hand every 2 seconds your chance to actually swing with your off hand at each delay increment depends on nothing but your dual wield skill and your level -- the calculation used is (dual wield skill + level)/400 so a level 30 monk with maxed dual wield for level (215) would have (215 + 30)/400 == 61.25% chance to swing with his off hand. So using a 20 delay weapon he would have a 61.25% chance to swing every 2 seconds reguardless of dex. As to your comment about not being a certain level, I find it quite funny that you were wrong -- not to mention the fact that i have met characters level 65 with more AA's than I would know what to do with that I could swear had never played before the day i met them and I have also met level 30 characters that knew what they were doing better than most 60+ that i know.
Namely this is from An Animated Guardian in the HOHA basements. They are tougher than the Valorians , but all are snarable. All the basements can be quadded. About 26k hp I'd say on one is what itd take to kill in a quad. lightblade is hugely rare, about 4 times as rare as spectrals(which means about 1 in 500 drops). I gave one away to a friend whose corpse decayed to finance new armors.
Also dont know for sure but the guy posting about dozens for sale must be on prexus... During slow time there is average 3 - 4 for sale for 6k a piece... and primetime i have seen (the most i have seen) 7 for sale at 1 time... all compeating to sell theirs,.... thats where i got mine for 4k, and with warblade of the fallen in primary (10 / 19) i like it alot!

Posted:Jan 09 2003 at 4:25 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Fleshy comes from Cazic Thule... Only after PoP did verant real start putting recomended / required. MOST CT items have required lvl = to the recomended lvl. Also there is no (currently) intent to go back and list required lvl on the CT items that have required vs recomended
Dropped off of An Animated Guardian. Looks like a black suit of armor. Snareable, doesn't summon, little more resistant than the other "kiteable" mobs there.

Posted:Jan 06 2003 at 2:17 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) proud to have snatched this in bazaar last night for 5k. Beast 5k I have ever shelled out. I can say that my record hit so far is 129 with selfbuffed 217str, but average blows are closer to 80-90, and got one really nice double atk in for 123/119 so far, over 250dmg w one swing for a 1handed weapon. Im tossing on teaming it with my snowchipper or warblade of the fallen, thinking snowchipper mainly for the parry % stats and proc. We'll see. I recommend this weapon to anyone looking to kick the bejesus outa stuff really fast and hard.
Well av price on sol ro is about 6 - 9k, bought one for 6k yesterday ) christmas eve and i do in the 90's sometimes 100's with this( including a str buff though eh) its a very nice weapon but compared to LSoEE i guess there about the same
The talk that this will be nerfed etc seems to me a total crock and marketing ploy. Yeah I got an inside source from VI he tells me LSOEE has 15 AC on it.
Perhaps this weapon has a nice damage bonus but I did not see it mentioned.
Why would the drop be nerfed with a recommended level of 56?
I see that some think its a bit better, perhaps a tiny bit either way. But I have had two peeps offer it in trade to me for LSOEE. If they are equal then this weapon is worth 9 - 12k depending on how many dozen are selling in the bazaar.
Man Dozens in the Bazaar?!? I have not seen any for sale in the Bazaar on Stormhammer or Seventh Hammer servers. What server are you on where there are dozens for sale? I will send a mule over and get one for sure!
Everyone told me that dual weild working like that.
each time ur primary hit U have a chance to dual weild. That would mean that the delay of Ur secondary weapon have no mather. and if it is this wepaon just kick *** in the secondary slot.???
I believe you are correct except that delay has a small impact. In the course of a fight you will more than likely have instances where the primary swing has a positive dual wield check but your secondary is still in delay. In that case you would not receive the extra attack(s). I could be wrong and if so I'm sure I'll be "corrected". Hehe Regardless this weapon rocks in the secondary slot.
No, that's wrong. Your offhand is completely unrelated to your primary hand. Each hand handles the delay itself. When you start combat each hand has the chance to hit, the primary hand gets a double attack check and the offhand first has to pass the dual wield check and then a double attack check. After the delay of the primary hand it hits again depending on the skill checks. Otoh after the delay of the OFFHAND it gets a new dual wield check and then another double attack skill.
So, not your primary gets a dual wield check if the offhand gets a hit but the offhand gets the dual wield check after the delay of the offhand.
Dual Wield: This is your ability to use two weapons at the same time. The formula is (LVL+Skill)/500, so a 20th level warrior with 105 dual wield skill has a 25% chance of swinging his second weapon each time its delay cycles. The delay of the primary weapon does not affect the secondary weapon.
And read that -> http://www2.netdoor.com/~ddeas/wfaq.htm#1.1
Yes, it's (Level-25)/3, rounded down. This is only applied to hits with your primary hand. The bonus raises your max hit as well as your min hit, making your primary hand much more effective. Because the bonus is added to every hit, it's in your best interest to put your fastest weapon in your primary hand when you start getting the damage bonus, to get the extra damage as often as possible. The bonus for two-handers was recently changed due to the disparity between dual wielding and using a two-hander at high levels. 2-handed weapons have a higher damage bonus. The damage bonus is listed with the weapon stats. (top)
And THIS formula is the reason why im using a slow but hard hitting weapon in offhand. You hit very rarely with it. I have about a 60% chance of a succesfull dual wield in lvl 58 using this formula, that alone is already bad. But Guys, that was only the check for Dual Wield. You forgot one important Check 8) After a successfull dual wield check you have to HIT the mob also first before you can check a double hit 8) So i would say i have about a 45% chance to HIT a mob with the offhand weapon. Im also experiencing this when i put my 12/20 weapon into offhand. It HITS a lot lesser than in primary.
Actually no you don't have to hit the mob to get a double attack check. If you succeed on your DW then your offhand swings and you make a DA check, if that check succeeds you swing again. Same goes for mainhand, you don't have to hit to get a DA check. Every time your mainhand delay cycles, you get a DA check and either swing once or twice depending on whether or not DA fires.
Current price on Xegony Bazaar is around 30k. There are not many of these swords on the server. I hear that there may be as few as 9 or 10 swords in use right now. Someone was shouting on the buy/sell channel last nite that they were looking for a "DLB" ...after asking what a "DLB" was, I was shocked to find out that the buyer was in search of a "Defenders LightBlade". What was even more amazing was this buyer was paying 70k for the "DLB", I asked if he was out of his mind, and then he told me that a friend of his who works closely with the people at Verant told him that this was one of the PoP items that was going to have it's drop rate severally dropped, there was even talk of making it a NO DROP item, the same as the "Windblade" which went from 15-20k all the way up to 90k in just over 2 weeks. Anyone out there have any information on this sword, I'd like to get my hands on one for my warrior before it's made NO DROP...This baby rocks
WOOT...Finally got my hands on one of these bad boys. OMFG, can not believe what kind of damage my warrior can cause using this in his offhand. Paid a very healthy price for it but worth every plat. I now combo with a Swiftblade of Zek(primary) and the Defenders LightBlade (secondary). I will hold onto the sword for a long time to come. GL finding one at any price.
im a lvl 38 warrior on tholuxe paells. the other day i asked a question concerning 1hs weapons in pok. a nice lady came up and answered my questions . she then asked would you like this for now till you get better it wont work as well for now but wait till later. it currently only 15 damage for me but i can equip it. I think ill hang on to it
Excuse me but.....how in the hell are you useing a "recomended 56+ weapon at 54? I have tryed to use a recomended 59 with my 56 warrior and couldnt equip.
Recommended vs. Required: I have toons level 38 and 53 that have objects with REC levels of 46, 56 and 61. What they cannot equip yet are the ones that have REQ levels above their own. The higher they go, the better the stats on the REC level items. I love it! It's like getting upgrades all the time!
this is a different era of recommended level i have one on my 51 ranger and my main is a fleshgrinder which is recommended level 51 a while back i lost a level and could no longer equip the fleshgrinder but i could still use my lightblade. yes btw this weapon is great hitting for 88 offhand. Good Journeyz
/shrug I definitely equipped at 54 (55 now). The only stat that isn't complete is HP. At 55 I get full damage. On a similar note I bought a pair of nice legs for my bard that were level recommended, not required. He could not equip them. Sounds like some items are mislabeled.
bought this last night for 5k it is a great thing and they sell for 10 k on my server ayonae ro btw i am lvl 52 and dmg is 20 until 56 wich iti is then 22 red stats. Nice Graphic
I offhand this on my rogue. Personally I find it to be an improvement over the LSoEE that it replaced. At 54 I get around 60 more HPs due to the negative stamina on LSoEE and overall my DPS is a little higher, even with the longer delay. I'm thinking that the +5 magic damage on the LSoEE must be resisted more than I was originally led to believe as I find myself hitting in the 90s more often with a max of 102. At 54 I get nearly full stats, 21 34 with 8 dex and 43 HPs. Definitely worth more than LSoEE imho. Great for a rogue in terms of lower aggro due to longer delay. Before I get flamed for abbreviating, LSoEE is Long Sword of Ethereal Energy. Looks cool too.
I agree, this is the best 1HS for rogues to use in offhand. The high delay means les hits so less aggro, and the high dmg and great ratio mean same if not better dot as other comparable weapons. On same note warriors and tanking classes should look for a weapon with same ratio but lower damage and delay to create more aggro. Got this on Xegony for 1300 pp this week, and seen it selling for 1000 soon after. I get 18/34 at lvl 48, which is still better ratio than jagged blade of mourning I was using. As far as I am concerned this slot is filled til I am lvl 65 unless some new weapon is discovered or created in upgrade.
I traded a Frosty for this last night...I'm wondering if I got ripepd off. From the sounds of this its worth about 10k more but it's still alot slower than I'm used to
