ItemWell, Verent inginuity. As if the Tunare sword wasnt bad enough at stealing aggro, now there is another pal/shd 2hs with an even worse proc =( Palladius is relatively low aggro, i know cause i wield one, but i have heard otherwise from other war/pal/shd's in my guild =/ But a 200 dmg DD is going to be devastating to whomever is wielding this blade =/
May as well start casting revivisence now, cause the wielders arent gonna live long. Id like to see the dumbass who attacks Vulak or Tunare with a 200 dmg DD proccing weapon... ESPECIALLY with a Palladius sized ratio!
Sheer genius, maybe someday soon they will rethink about what "defines" a paladin's role in a large scale raid, since this can only be obtained through a large scale raid...

and to post again. have you ever seen how fast a pally can hold agro with a few stuns.. even mobs taht are completly immune to stun hate it LOTS when you chain stun and hit between for a few hundred here and there. it works realy well in emergencys (Innie in the clerics, Cazic Thule rippin up the wizzards, exc.. it happens in the best of guilds occasionaly), and honestly what is worse? a pally or sk geting agro back and duying for it? or getting all the clerics and wizzys killed.. get agro back on a melier its a much better situation, even if the melier only gets a few seconds to hold it before he loading please waits. so what, better than everyone duying
Who can pull agro faster? Pally or SK? hum.. intresting question. will have to try that out sometime )

Unbelievable...This truly takes the cake. This proves the point that people are never satisfied. How anyone can ***** about this weapon is beyond me. If you don't want to get aggro, go back to using a rusty sword. Then you won't have to worry about it.
Actually, the original poster is exactly right. The wielder of this weapon is going to seriously have to watch agro. I know a SK could FD agro off, but do Pallys have an agro reducer? (i dont know, never played one)
This is a beautiful weapon. But as a support damage dealer in a raid or large mob assualt, this is going to hurt more than help. It's great when the user is the MT tho... when ever that might be.

Yes Fen....It is called DA (Divine Aura), or the auto attack OFF key.

you people are talking like this will be the only weapon you will ever use. if you are a support tank where not gaining aggro is a big issue then switch to one of the other weapons you have.
im sure someone awarded something like this will have many other weapons in one of those bags of his/hers. if you were soloing, wouldnt this be something you want to have or if you were the main tank of a grouping hunting foe exp?
why do pallies have a taunt button if they werent meant to gain aggro at curtain times. must of been a warriors that cant stand the fact pal/sk get nice 1 and 2 handers.

I am prone to agree, (forgive the spelling in advance) The main issue would be agro management, in addition Pallys and SKs can hold agro for a few seconds, and o yes for those that panic, or hate looking death in the eye. well Play another class, Because if you have not heard, well Death is part of both the pally and the SK's exsistance. Also if LoH or HT does not pull agro on someone in melie range, well then i do not know what does. And also, agro is more than just a factor of damage and delay and procs. On one more note, Pallys and SKs may not be Quite the tanks that Warriors are, but please, we are not 5th level mages for crying out loud (sorry to any 5th level mages i Offended)

I agree wholeheartedly with the aggro issues this weapon will cause. Though, as mentioned, dual wield doesn't have anything on an S.K. or Pallies ability to generate taunt. Actually, warriors don't have anything on either classes ability to generate taunt. However the warrior's Defensive disc. makes them the best MT in any big raid, hands down. Although that leaves plenty of oppurtunity for S.K.s and Pallies in other places, they do not belong MTing these level of mobs until we are given some sort of ability that is comperable to the defensive disc.
Until that time comes, though, do yourself, your group, your guild and your raiding party a favor and let the warriors MT when fighting these mobs or you might find yourself not invited to the next raid.

I like people who act like Pallys and SK's don't make good MT's. You ask me, and SK is a better one that a warrior. Ya, we can take less than a warrior (slightly) and we don't have a defensive discipline. Other than that, warriors have nothing over SK's. So you do a little more damage maybe as a warrior? I guaruntee a 60 sk can hold aggro better than a 60 warrior anyday. And when you are on a massive raid and chain casting CH on the MT, a SK can *in most situations* do just fine. Anyhow, just my 2 bits

well all i can say is at least you have pride in your class. But warrior allways make the better MA. dont get me wrong in a lot of situations a pally or a SK makes a fine MA. But next time your in ToV if youve ever been <doubtfull if you think a SK is a better MA> tell me how many times you will see a SK or pally tank, you wont. Only time they would is if the MA went down and you needed someone to step in, and even then the SA is almost allways another warrior. By the time a pally or SK is stepping in its to buy time for the clerics to camp out to rez everyone.
You said the only thing warriors have over a SK is little more HP and defensive disc, you forgot about one very important thin, DUAL WEILD. I gaurantee you agro is gonna get taken away from you by a rogue/ranger/warrior if the MA isnt a dual weilder, sorry you just dont have the dmg output. Also warriors have better AC items so they are not gonna take the amount of dmg you are either.
Once again dont get me wrong, pallys and SK can be a MA in alot of situations, but your almost never gonna see it any any raid where it takes 2 or more groups

Are you insane? Noone can hold agro like a SK if they want to keep it, noone! I will admit that a SK is not a very good tank for ToV stuff, defensive owns. We can do the standard no named stuff and live alright but I usually let the warriors tank since they roll dics defensive. BUT if I want to get and hold agro as a SK noone can stop me. Duel wield does not have anything on the taunt generating spells of a SK. Ask any level 60 who knows, A SK can taunt better then any other class.

As a 65 Paladin, I have 2 stuns that work for 65 and lower mobs and lots more that still work to attain aggro. I pull with a low level stun (which doesn't actually stun) and just as the mob arrives at camp I time my high-level stun to stop the mob in its tracks just in front of us. Then hit them again with my low level stun which has just appeared to be re-cast. This generates enough aggro for a slower to hit the mob BEFORE it even gets off its first attack. As long as i continue to stun consistantly (which when I have KEI can do without a net loss in mana) the mob is on me and never leaves for the duration of the battle no matter what weapon I use. (I realived this when I fought a whole battle with CHA Steins on accident after joining a group on my way back from selling lol)
