After 3 months of camping this item (only 10-12 total spawns of the named after 100s of clearings), I just got wavecrasher to drop back to back within 5 min or less of each other. The named is rare spawn and the wavecrasher is still uncommon or rare. My mini paladin is good to go now. Good luck.
Yeah, it's still a nice item to have if you can get your hands on one. Even if you do come across something better like Willsapper, this is tradeable and usable by all melee classes with 1hs skill.
For those that can't get ahold of something better, there is a weapon not mentioned yet on this page that has the same effect. Vyledorinajirnak the Sea's Justice was added to a siren temptress' drop table after Siren's Grotto was revamped and Wavecrasher stopped dropping. Although this new weapon is only usable by WAR PAL SHD BER, leaving rogues looking for a Locustlure and forcing Rangers to do their epic 1.0 for Earthcaller (both of which slow for more than this) while Bards are wondering why they bothered since their songs are more effective. Warriors always have the option of hunting down a Truncheon of Doom too I suppose.
I was actually able to obtain one of these, after two years of waiting. It's the only weapon in game that I know of that procs slow and is sk usable, unless I'm mistaken. I had to trade a Amulet of Necropotence for it https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=1143 and might I say it was well worth the wait. It procs alot for my 70 sk who has 150 aa's.
Yeah Thy, since they added those required lvl's to weapon proc's, this puppy won't proc now till 40 - kind of a drag.
Also, since Siren's has been re-vamped I'm guessing that this item no longer drops since the mob that used to drop it no longer exists in SG. Has anyone seen this weapon drop since the re-vamp of sirens?
ok ... it seems the CHoS from droga is becoming a popular warrior weapon, but i really like this weapon ... it seems like it would have a good practical use with the slow proc i was wondering which of the two, wavecrasher or CHoS, was better for tanking and aggro purposes?

Posted:Jun 15 2004 at 7:35 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Slow is a huge aggro pull no matter what speed it decreases the speed by. But this is also a dot as well. So it draws continued aggro after landing. As well as it can be reproc'd (which is usually procs 3-4 times a fight ) means you have a duration of however long the fight is ~
I have camped SG for this great weapon a few times before revamp... Went there last night and all the elemental PH's are now walrus mobs... No elementals in site... Killed a hall full of these guys and no shimmering sea spirit pops or elemental PH pops... anyone know whats up with zone? seems camps are screwed up...
I could honestly not answer this. I camped mine months pre-patch. Took only 3 hours to get. Was well worth it. I use it even still now that i havea ToD the slow is abit useless. Its still a great item to carry around.
I just picked one up in Bazaar for 11K on Rodcet Nife and even as a 62 Warrior its a good weap for agro. Gets resisted in PoP but even the resist draws agro. When Im MT I use this and Nevedaria's (sp) Horn or Frostbringer in my off hand. (Lost out on 2 BoC's to War's with more DKP's) So until I get mine, this is a great agro weap. AND makes soloing easier for a warrior with the 20% slow. Procs alot too. I was averaging 3-4 procs on a fast kill. Only drawback is I don't think it stacks with the dot from Nev's Horn..Horn proc'd first 1 fight and it said Wave's proc didnt stick...

I agree that this is a good aggro weapon. I had bagged it for a while when I got CHoS and SotB from droga, but now we are doing a lot of LDoN dungeons and I broke out the 'ol wavecrasher again. It's very nice as a lot of times we have a chanter but no shaman ( add more dps ) and the chanter is so busy mezzing and MLing that the slow proc really saves cleric a lot of mana over time. Also a lot of times we kill so fast in LDoN that it's almost a waste of mana for every mob to be slowed. I love my wavecrasher and I'm glad I didn't sell it...also comes in handy for things such as trials, or any event where waves of mobs are coming quick. I want to get a BoC also, but even if I do I'm still gonna bag this weapon for the right occasions. The only way I'm getting rid of it is if I get a willsapper ( 35% slow instead of 20%). Us warriors don't get spells, so we need our bag of tricks, no?
