Zoned in to PoTactics today (10/5/13) and killed the "a Diaku Warrior" that paths in the hall way. He also dropped a "Diaku Forged Maul". Hope this helps other mages out there. Not just from the Oracles.
Mkay, here's a brief rundown of a situation I was in, and my 2cp on these.
I was hanging out in my usual kiting spot in Tactics, left from the zonein. Was medding up and dropped a Diaku Scimitar on the ground. Within 2 minutes a Gladiator aggrod me, saying "You dare challenge me?" or some nonesense. Now this totally baffled me, since in the 20+ hours I've spent kiting in this spot, I have never seen a roamer. I had been sitting in the middle of the sand pit when the Gladiator aggrod me, and I have no clue where she came from.
Now... on to the weapons...
a) Pure Vendor Trash b) Pure cosmetics to make the ogres look fancy c) Damage-nerfing weapons (considering how crappy the dmg/dly is, and the fact they wield them, they would tend to do less damage than they would normally hand to hand, one would think) d) Unknown quest (some kind of trigger, or was that just a fluke?) e) Something to annoy players.
I highly doubt it's a tradeskill thing, since every single Diaku drops a weapon.
They only did that because the 2HB animation would have had the Diaku poking people rather than swinging it... They would look as stupid as players then wouldn't they, and no game designer wants that. (I'm not bitter I have to poke with my Great Maul of Hatred, noooo...)
ok im guessing that this is a quest item considering that its none/none on the class/race. too bad its not usable though this sure is a leet wep coming from PoT =)
