Vindication  

 

what is eveyone saying that this sword sucks and what lvl does it proc? cause i was thinking abou getting one then cheching thi and look like its no that good

I just purchased one of these for 3k. Did i get a good deal and can i possibly sell for more? any info would be appreciated.

The only way one could call this weapon cursded is if it's pre-nerfed and out of charges....I wish my Vindication didn't always say out of charges...i would Love the proc ! Toss up 3 weak buffs...pack on the real one's and go to work! This weapon is Great Pre-nerfed or not. I would only trade it for AP which i plan on attempting soon. Enjoy the blade people..buff up wisely..and get a haste item. I got schw's and i strait Clown with this blade, Good luck to all of you

I've seen alot of people say that this sword is so great for dueling because it dispels the opponents harmful effects on you. While you are correct on the function of the weapon you are mistaken on the strategy of PvP.

For 99% of all dueling or PvP situations being dispelled is a very bad thing and will lead to your death. The first thing most people are going to try to do to you is dispel all your buffs. You should get buffed with whatever u can, and as buffs drop you should be doing anything to replace them with potions, clickable items etc. Even for straight out warriors you all have a certain amount of clickable effects that you're going to self-buff with and these will all be gone. Most importantly your resist magic buff will be gone and you will be rooted, snared, blinded, charmed, dot'd, and nuked to death.

Dispelling bad things is good, dispelling everything is bad.

I got this sword for free some dude just gave it to me im have a hard time though keep it or sell it i do great soloing and group is fine but i was thinking since im starting to gain lvls lvl 40 soon do i realy want to dispell lvl 40 buffs how much is this sword worth. i will sell it or trade for another sword AD maybe and some cash im not sure cyco kain veeshan

Ok I got this weapon quite a while ago. Using it, it started to proc on me and dispelled me. Of course the shami and cleric got pissed after a while and so I stopped using it. Wondering if this was intented or if the sword was broken, I petitioned. A while later a guide talks to me but was of no use and told me that the Server-GM would come online at 6pm and that I should talk to him and repetition. To my suprise I get a tell from him (Server-GM Starryder on Ayonae Ro)and I am told that this was indeed intended to proc on the wielder. SO to all those still dreaming of curses or brokeness, forget it. This weapon just as the runed blade is intented to PROC on the WIELDER and nothing else. I told him that this was a waste of a good item however he told me two things : 1) Ever fighted a rooting/dotting mob ?? (Ok one for him since that was a good reason I had thought of too) 2) There are uses of a self-dispelling sword on raids and that it should be used with great care, since it can be a curse and a blessing.
Another scenario is a charming mob, you proc and are free again. The same applies for those of you who can get to and fight in Western Wastes. Almost all of those dragons dispell you anyway and buffing makes no sense, therefore this is an amazing sword to use for damage and not get your whole group annoyed at you. Ok I hope this helped to clarify about this weapon as it is INTENTED to proc on YOU.

I won this on a raid. It dropped off a named drake in the Library area. At 45, I hit for 100 damgage average and max hit for 150. To correct a post earlier, it is a random proc. It will strip you of all your buffs and will not always remove the first buff. Being a SK I was wondering, most of my buffs are the Debuff spells, i.e. Syphon STR, Shrowd of Hate, Shadow Vortex, when this procs and they drop, does the mob stay debuffed also? I think I'll have to duel some one to find out.

I got this sword tonight andcalled a GM, thought something was wrong with unbuffing myself. He said that there are many quest to uncurse a weapon......... HMMMMMMMMMM. any idea,s?

Okay, just got this incredible weapon Thursday night, May 3rdand gave it to my Paladin the next day. Damage it does for a level 51 Paladin is awesome. However, much to my surprise, the proc, Cancel Magic, did not work on mobs, but on me. Stripped me clean of buffs. Petitioned to see if a bug. Wrote a bug report. Went to Chat Room. Here is what I was told by GM - Pilken. "The weapon is designed correctly. When you do high level raids you will discover why." Hmmmm. A bit evasive, so I pressed on. Basically, the weapon is a limited use weapon for when a mob casts a spell upon you and you need to cancel its effect upon yourself. This seems to be its primary use, but as such, ssure seems a waste and demonstrates lack of logical thinking on the part of the Verant designer. Why give me a weapon with great stats, that does tremendous damage, but which strips me of all my buffs? Warpped humor? So, I guess I will carry this thing in my backpack on the if chance I get invited to a "high level raid," and on the if chance a mob casts a spell on me that I need to remove. Gee, I'm hoping for more of such limited, illogical items from Verant. Armor that gives incredible strength, AC, and HP, but only when worn at night in E Commons.

I had just gotten one recently. I found out the weapon is awsome for dueling.Just make sure you dont buff yourself before the battle. When the other class is a caster that hits you with a DoT you can cancel it out with the Vindication. I Works real well with the SK class. I had beaten the heal out of a Necro with this Blade. Everytime the Necro would cast spell's on me like Dooming Darkness I would cancel it out,or he tried to hit me with a DoT I would cancel it out.
Yes the Blade takes away the buffs, but when you get hit with nasty spell's you can also cancel them out very easy with the Vindication. Not really a curse weapon , it's just kinda balanced in a way ...This Sword is awsome againts caster's

Hi all i picked one up Saturday...payed 12kp for it. First ..yes it is cursed..that is a good thing. Hope it stays that way..If you you use this sword right yea can't go wrong..As far as debuffing your self it will so what i do is put to low mana buffs..resist deases resist poison as examples..then i buff my self with the good stuff.
when i lose the first 2 buffs i just hit yulp 2 or what ever i vcan cast while fighting...this has worked every time and i was fighting all day and night...t5he great thing about this is when you get dotted it will go to the first open buff slot...and guess what when the sword procs it will remove that bad dot =) so if used right this is the sword =0) as far as it being random as to what slot it removed 99% of time the first 2 great odds don't ya think?
