This is a bit late to chime in on the topic but I want to get my 2 cent to be out there!
This is a great weapon for a soloing WAR! Couple this weapon with a slow weapon, a buff weapon + Damage proc weapon. That war is gonna be a monster! Of course don't forget about the High HP/AC gears =)With Potions and other good buffs, I am pretty sure a war can solo mobs that are dark blue or even con. Except for maybe High end over the top world...where mob dish out 10K+ Hp each hit. =D.
