Exquisite Velium War Lance  

 

amazing weapon picked wun up the other day and i (warrior) use it in preference to a lot of other toys.

at 32/36 when you use your mighty strikin discipline, with 255 str and 232 skill inpiercing you can do a ******** of crips up to around the mid 400's. I can hit harder by a negligable amount using my truncheon of doom 33/44 but obviously nowhere near as speedily )


this weapon is pure power and rather amazing to boot, we got it using one group and im nearly 100% certain it came off a chetari warrior/dominator kind of mob not a dust or chelaki etc however that dont mean it wont :)

just go to the ramp down into the chetari caves and stop short of the beetle trap and pull theres a wanderer there every 28 mins or so and it can be nasty to have trap wanderer and pull on you as a single group at once since the enchanters have a tough time using their normal mezz's, use short duration mezz to stick it first off and then go with what you know shamans a must and our shaman found that using lower lvl spells sometimes helped (i think he was sticking em with like ridiculous wimpy poison bolt **** at the end but it was sticking every time and every bit helps).We picked up this weapon a 30/35 claydmore a 32/40 brawl stick(not sure on stats) and a 30/35 war lance. Took about 4 hours of camping and included 2 cr's due to unfavourable conditions(more then 3 unmezzable mobs in camp at any one time).


thanks go to me bruddah cailen the enchanter masheen), who won the roll on this monster then passed it on to me a lil later in the day heh. Me being a warrior was creaming about this baby and he did a mighty deed by lettin me in on the action, afterwe'd nocked keleren'dar on his *** in cobalt scar.

There is a damn good reason I am glad my rogue can't use this...definately would be way overpowering on a BS, especially in PvP.

Backstab damage is capped at around 550 damage, if you use your lvl 59 or 60 discipline duelist you can get around 1107 which it is capped at. plus verant wont gives rogues a mainhand piercing weapon over 15 damage.

looks great i saw an ogre war with one. he stopped and told me about it after he heard me say woe what in the 9 gates of hell is that;)

Just to clarify. 2H Pierce is a skill, but it falls in the domain of pierce. It isn't its own skill. It has been around since Velious. Rogues cannot use 2H pierce weapons because they were intended to be used by tank classes (rogues are a kind of "in-between" class). Verant was hoping to get more players into using piercing weapons, since it seemed only shamans and rogues bothered with the skill.
