Why wouldn't you just use your epic weapon when you're casting then use this when you've ran outta mana?

Why not? By the time you'd get this item (if you were lucky to get one before it was removed from game) you would RULE.
at damage 60 delay 40, my necro would beg for a haste and pop a harmshield. For 12+ sec I'd beat da conojes outta something, making even warriors go WTF?? hehe

Im sorry, but someone doesnt know what they are talking about. My warrior can easily out damage a monk that is 3 lvls higher than him. I hit for 50 - 140hp at lvl 31, with critts as high as 223hp, and my atk rating is the same as a lvl 35 monk in my guild. You should reconsider your statment that warriors suck at dealing damage, because I could take aou a monk that is 3 lvls higher than me in a duel, and most monks that I have seen at my lvl dont hit near as hard as I do.
Either there are a lot of people out there who don't know how to properly play a warrior which is giving us a bad name, or there are just a lot idiots who don't realize the potential a properly played warrior can put out.
Why not? Actually give us a use in a group other than being a taxi. Eh? And personally, I know I cabn get a 200 int and still have slots left over. So, when I equip this item, just equip a few more int points and walaa... I have a 200 int with a 60 40 weapon, and imagine a wizard with a boon and a 67% haste and one of these... all I can say is the cleric better be good.
If you are not a caster then you obviously would want this weapon.
I am an enchanter and I know I hate walking around EC only to be jumped by a skeleton or be medding and get hit by a Lion/Puma/Orc Pawn???
If I had this I could take care of the trash people train without a problem,
Remove Rod from EE bag,
Proceed to whack said greenie out of existence.
Before all you melee types get all bent out of shape think about how many times a caster has buffed you...now think about how many times you think those buffs are still memmed in place of the DD i should normally have.
Oh wait...no longer dropped?
Bah oh forget it.

Ok, so it makes you as dumb as an ogre, but with a ratio of .666 and a damage of 60, this has by far the best ratio AND damage of ANY weapon of ANY type. I just think that it's a little cheap for that.
well actually Shurieken of Tranquil is 100/25 Damage 100 Delay 25, I am not sure if that drops or doesn't anymore, it drops in Hate I am pretty sure =)

tola robe + this rod + haste would be pretty decent... Dont know what you could get the delay to, but doing over 100 dmg with 1 hit and with low delay with all those hastes... Dmg could add up. Only thing is the warrior better taunt good :P

How about for a mage or necro soloing. Once my mage lost pet during battle and oom, and monster had less than half a bubble of hp. I decided to t melee than run, and I died.... Guess if I had this weapon, I could have changed the weapon and win the fight.

ok.. someone would have to be pretty sick to do this with such a high price item.. but... what if one or two of these were given to a pet :) granted i wouldn't suggest it normally, but with a respectable level pet (let's say mid 30s or more) it'd be pretty sick granted when that pet died you won't be too happy.
Here is why:
Enc gets haste spells :)
Enc gets int spells combined= a lot of fun with minimum int loss and why not help ur selves a lil while bored during a fight. Not that that happens a lot when ur the guy/gal who crowds control :)

Chanters get 40+ +int spells? Why won't they give them to me?! :) On another note, I just got a jumpy robe and this weapon would be KILLER. Really too bad that it dosn't drop anymore. It'd be nice to have a 1 handed weapon like this. Guess I have to get a velium brawl stick to win those caster melee battles. >: )

Of COURSE it's not for use in a "real" group. Do you really think Verant would pump this out seriously thinking casters would start meleeing? Certainly not.
The stats on it alone suggest that's not what they had in mind. If memory serves me correct, it is the strongest hand-held weapon in the entire game (going with ONLY the DMG stat). Nothing comes close.
I would guess Verant made this just for kicks. I'm an enchanter and would LOVE to get a hold of one of these things. I may not be able to melee Venril Sathir ( and it'd be idiotic to try; I'd stick with my trusty 6dmg weapon ;) ), but that desert madman in Oasis had BETTER stay out of my sight!
Just for fun, is all.
Have a nice day.

I am not afraid to melee. All my weapon skills were maxed in the high 30's. This would be great to get a hold of.
rofl, this would just be fun..how many times have you done reavers as a caster? :p boring as hell if you have no pets..on another note, my wizzy is 51, and is currently looking at buying an FBSS so i can max out my skills(mainly just 1hb, and offence). normally i wouldnt have to buy this, but friend of mine had to give his up in a trade(59 wizzy, used it for the same perpuses, pulled it off his 30Sk Alt)

Because every caster in game comes with Infinite mana.. and you never run out.. and need to chase down that stupid mob that's running away. You would prob miss alot.. but you'd miss alot with any other weapon in hand too.. may not be practical in a group.. but groups are not everything to casters.. just chase him down an bash him up.. simple solution.. and remember if you are OOM.. -50 int is NOT gonna hurt ya in any way shape or form. I would prob give 20k+ for one of these.. just for that reason alone.. I hate dying with my enchanter when the mob has like half a bub of life.

Posted: May 10 2001 at 1:45 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) there is also a caster only robe that drops and gives a perm 36% (I do believe it is 36) haste. Used in conjunction ...... hmmm. Just a thaught to ponder. All in all I would have to say that both those items are laughable. Next thing you know VI will be making Items with clarity for my warrior ... LOL.

Hehe, I'd use it. Enchanter with epic Intel 235 buffed (not even with post50 intel buff) i'd have some fun.... have items with extra%mana should be fine

There is no reason you should use this in a serious group. I think it would be a fun item to have to fool around with. You could walk into befallen and whack skeletons with 120 damage and laugh as they fall into a heap of bones=) Other than farming, i'd say this weapon is just not worth using, because it takes away so much int and casters should not be meleeing in serious groups

Iduno about the rest of you all but i dreamed about something this damaging for a level 1 i have...
Anonymous
Ok guys, I am a warrior.......and I have had a few casters try and go melee with me. If a caster (even wielding this weapon) even dreamed of going melee with a tank class they would get messed up. Either they would miss like 80% of their attacks, or they would be dodged, parried, or riposted. Needless to say, and caster that has a brain, wouldnt try going melee.

I don't care how much spare int ya got.. you take this thing into a battle and start swinging it around.. your gonna get your no hp or ac havin **** hurt.. Gone oom? sit down.. med up.. and help the people who can swing a sword.. ***** that whole Tanking enchanter crap.. thats a good way to get kicked from a group and/or killed repeatedly.. especially since you'd never make contact with it because we don't have any melee ability at all.. if I had one of these.. I'd hand it to a pet and send him off to battle just to get rid of it.. it's useless unless you enjoy dieing.

Well first off it does exists(look who posted it) Well -50 int, woohoo, how hard is it for a uber caster to get 250 int? Well still it is not a great idea to use the item, you are not a tank. But hell, you can do some heavy damage; the problem is the amount of tauntage from hitting with this weapon.
Back to what I said earlier, if any of you have a high lev caster, think about how easy it would be to get 230-240 int...plane stuff adds tons, velium jewlery, can get like 5 min int for every slot, and lots more if you drop all the mana stuff. I am a Wizard and I have 213 int with about 350 mana and 90mr. Get your plane robe, to-end jewlery, and all high-end int items and you can have 200 with this weapon. But again, using it in a group is not really feasible

ok, everyone who even remotely has had a positive post for this says a caster would use it OOM...pretty stupid if you ask me, howabout if your FULL of mana....a necro fear kiting solo could WUP with this. and then when your fear drops just cast another one..fear doesnt take much mana...a pet on it, snared, with a dot or two and you wont need much with you nailing it for 125+dmg

This weapon would be great to twink a low lvl caster that still enters melee with a pet.
However there are several factors that make this weapon pretty much useless/dangerous if you got it lvl 50+
First or all, caster's don't have melee skills or HP's. Weapon and offense skills capped in low 100's and no double attack. My main is a hybrid. It's hard enough to hit with my skills soft-capped at 200. It's laughable to think of trying with a caster's cap.
Argument I've heard: "this is great when a caster is oom". This is invalid. In the same amount of time it would taken to hit twice you could have medded for enough mana to DD for twice as much.
And then there is the taunt factor. Hitting with a base damage of 60 is likely to taunt the mob onto you (depending on situation). And that is something every caster tries to avoid.
So if you are a caster, leave the tanking to the tanks, before you hurt yourself :P
