anyone know if this weapon generates agro if the Magic DMG portion is "resisted"?

There is a full set of ranger only armor. Once you turn in the elemental chain molds, it becomes class specific..
The sparkling shortsword is a good weapon to use until something better comes along. You wont necessarily have something better when your progress to the planes as someone suggested earlier..

120 normal damage non crit no aa skill that improve melee damage.
202 max crit no aa skill that improves melee damage. "only used it for 30 min to see max crit, so it might be a wee bit higher"
compaired to earthcaller "ranger epic" max crit 162. im not trying to mix stuff up. but once the mob takes the +4 magic damage it turns into a 18/18 1hs. but then again the mob might resist the +4 magic damage and turns out to be a 14/18 1hs. still pretty darn good in my opinion. Im a firm believer on + damage weapons.

magic damage works like this actually, its between 14-18 damage per swing, not ethier 14 or 18. Anyways this is a great wep imo, definately great for me as a bard.
I'd agree this is a great bard weapon. Assuming you have all your instrument and singing aa's and a Voice of the Serpent, this is a worthy weapon to upgrade over your epic until you see a Songblade drop from Time.
My bard uses this as well.
VERY fast hitter and crits well over 200 dmg.
Helps if mob is Tashed or Malo'd.

I wouldnt say WELL over 200. With my bard its highest crit is I think 203. May be differnt for a ranger tho.

Your logic, and every other thought process you presented in that post is completely flawed. You are a moron. Either take more, or fewer narcotics... Whatever it takes. Please.

I was awarded this sword last week as an app. Obviously most people fighting in this zone will have better weapons, but this is a nice sword for a warrior until you get an EB procing weapon. The +4 Magic damage seems to hit quite regularly and I see alot of 150+ hits and max so far with this weapon for 186. I hold agro well with this thing using my red epic in my offhand.
I must say that it's more suited for a bard with the nice CHA boost and fast ratio. Too bad the thing is so tiny...looks silly on me as a fat ogre!

As a bard my highest hit is 120 tops...Thats WITH the +4 magic dmg which i have to agree lands ALOT. I woudl think everyone who can use this but warriors hot for 120ish.

"Sometimes i even stick my windspeeder in mainhand, but rarely."
Neat you found a way to put a secondary only weapon in main hand.

Last night this dropped and when the GL took names I put mine in, he acted surprised I didn't already have one(I am an App and have only been in Air twice) and immediately awarded it to me. This leads me to believe this guy is up ALOT and that like everyone else says this is his only or super common drop. After enduring many "Hey, he's not a twink, why'd he get it?" jokes I got a new sword.
He is up alot. A whole lot hehe. In fact EVERY time I have raided here he is up...dies fast, and only drops blade that I have seen.

But i use Lava Infused Bludgeon for soloing because i like the proc, hehe. Also i get sick of always using the same weapon. Sometimes i even stick my windspeeder in mainhand, but rarely.

Rangers will go for this sword almost every time it would drop. Despite what alot of people think, Rangers do not just sit back and use a bow all the time.
Line of Sight still screws things over on a consistent basis, and I use my swords alot, even though I have a Stonewood Bow, and EQ/AM3.
Bards should talk about why Bards want an item, and not speculate about classes they know nothing about.

well it might be that its got low delay and nice dmg, but if your on the stage in game that your able to get this weapon, then you do NOT have any use of this as a war, cuz alot of other agro proc weapons are out there, even more easy to get, and as for a Rogues, this weapon is pretty cool, still there is better for a rogue offhand, like the ones with Skillmod backstab 12%... but if they dont have those yet, this weapon is pretty damn nice, as for Rangers, this is almoste GOD, still alotta good weapon out there for rangers aswell, but still this is good, this is also nice for Bards.... only class i cant see this sword go to is WARRIORS, they have no use of it cuz they would never hold agro with out agro procs in PoP anyways... thats my cp

don't get me wrong.. I play a bard, too... and this is more geared to bards, but jsut look at the stats. charisma? VERY important for bards (charms, mezzes, lulls, prices) and not really to the other classes. AGI, DEX, HP's, and AC... important to all of the classes that can use. last is mana, which is only used by rangers and bards.

This sword drops from Baltador the Cursed and appears to be his only drop. Double digit kills and hes never dropped anything else and always dropped this sword. He is also located just past the first island and stands in the way of the second island, so you HAVE to go through him. What it boils down to is, after a couple weeks worth of farming PoAir, every damn body who can use it has one. Its a great weapon for rangers, its also a great weapon for warriors to use when they arent tanking and want to crank up the dps.
Dont ***** and moan about what class should get this before a different one...its a guaranteed drop off a mob you have to kill every raid. If you farm PoAir (look at the drops, theres no reason not to), youre gonna get one.

Posted: Jan 09 2003 at 4:39 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) and for those who talk about wasted stats... your dumb. So what if a warrior doesnt use the wis or int or the mana or whatever IT DOESNT MATTER.. if it is a very good ratio (good for agro) or has a agro inducing proc it should go to the warrior over others (unless it has specifics such as backstab modifier on the 17 / 19 dagger that if i see a warrior with i will have to slap em) Rangers share many weapons with the war because their spells.... Sks can lifetap and Palys can stun and both can deal with undead very well BUT their nukes just are not up to par with a ranger... a ranger can deal masive amounts of damage even with just a decent weapon and using spells.... THAT is the reason you dont get a 24 / 24 1hander like the paly / sk or a 20 / 24 like bards (though bards can deal alot of damage with songs its still not as effective as pure damage from a ranger) so BIT YOUR QUITCHIN! also as a warrior i would use a 19/20 with no stats over a 16 / 20 with 20 str sta dex and agi. why? cause stats dont matter! (its all about hp (first) resist (second)) other than that you want as much damage as you can get

Look, with the magic dmg it is effectively an 18/18 weap, WHO CARES which class, all classes that can use it would greatly benefit from the stats. So stop your whining about who gets it.

Posted: Dec 12 2002 at 9:45 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Additionally...its really starting to **** me off...Why do Rangers ALWAYS have to share the best 1hs weapons with Warriors??
Ummmm... you're joking right?
Have you seen how many War only weapons there are? I'll give ya a hint. You'd be hard pressed to find many. Warriors have to share just about every weapon out there with at least one other class. In fact, about the only high end War only weapons out there are the ones that proc pure aggro, which no other class would want (Pallies and SKs don't really need the proc and get better class only weapons anyway).
Rangers aren't a high damage class because of Ranger only equipment, they are a high damage class because of thier spells and other skills. Of all classes, Rangers are the last who should be whining about anything. They are an amazing class in thier own right and versatile as all get out.

I would have to agree, Rangers are a very versitile class, however, I really would like to see a full set of ranger only armor with all pieces having decent Dex and still have decent AC, then again, can get that with mixed items anyway, just would look cooler ;)

ever think that just maybe a warrior should be able to use 'any' edged weapon? that is the mastery of a warrior, right?
