I never used this without the EB aug added to it, so I dunno, but it procs " soandso face contorts with rage " an insane amount of times Ive seen 3-4 procs back to back enough to be really impressed, seem to hold agro better than my old bygone butchers cleaver.
Thing that makes me mad is the slot < 9 > which really limits the aug you can put in there, I went with the 75dd ice strike one, but would have loved one of those sweet 175er's.
But this is everquest and the beauty is there will allways be another new ( better ) weapon to be found :)
Safe hunts and rare drops!
