Got one of these last week. This sword is great, 38 delay cant go wrong. Although it lacks stats, Taunt = priceless. This sword deals out a huge amount of damage, i love it.
yeah nice

Yeah ok I would love this 2hander but one question..Where is the Bane damage? ehh...
What is in a Name?
# Aug 19 2002 at 12:08 AM Rating: Decent
Well, suggestion. How bout a damage bonus against giants? even +5 would be nice. Its in the name afterall. Not that Verant would care.

Oh well.

I've been looking for some piece of anti-giant equipment. Giant Bane. hmm. Finally found it...But no. Gauntlets of Dragon Slaying, Belt of Dwarf Slaying, why nothing if you like to slay Giants? I slay giants for experience and entertainment, and ahve killed more than I would care to try to count, and I want something to display my enmity. For a bard like myself, this is no help. I'd take a 1AC breastplate if it said "of Giant Slaying" or "giant's bane" or "of people that don't like giants". Ah, no such luck though. So it goes.

The weapon is now upgraded to 51 dam, 45 delay. If you're looking for a non-procing 2hs in your arsinal, this one is great.

It has now been upgraded twice. First, to 33/34 as that link says, but it is now 44/38 or about that... not absolutely positive, but either that or very close.

This weapon might be better for Giant hunting if it proc'ed that spell that wizzies get, 2000 dd to giants only, after all it IS called Giant's Bane.

Wouldn't it make sense?

Ah well... I got a Reaver (IDs as Bane of Dragons, I believe) and it doesn't even hit most dragons :P

Oh, and that spell only works on a few giants, not all. So Tormax? Would rock. The spell aggros like a level 1 (and eats 2 peridots per cast, but since it's a proc, no regeants) a frost giant scout? Nope. Kinda like the dragon bane spell, only works on a certain bloodline.

Besides, VI's skill in logic is (11) =P

if you had this weapon you'd be hunting in ToV, maybe ST, why hunt giants? unless its tormax or statue of RZ, or any of the names in kael

This weapon isn't any more baneful to giants than any other... riiiight...
?

Would having a weapon with the name Giant's Bane in it lower your faction with giants?
just a thought.

Look at the slot it fits in, "primary" or "seconardy", my guess is this was created to be a 1hs because if it was 2hs it would just say "primary". I also would imagine this has be fixed by now and this picture just needs to be updated. BTW 25/34 1hs is very impressive.

Now that I think about it...
# May 23 2001 at 1:15 PM Rating: Decent
...this thing actually has the same damage per second as a Felhammer, 6.6 less weight, plus stamina, and it's faster, which means you will get much bigger damage bonuses...
like... say in a certain time period you hit 2 times with felhammer and 3 times with this.
fel- 69 + 15 or so, = 84 * 2 = 168
this- 51 + 15 = 66 * 3 = 198
so...this aint a half bad weapon :) while I have come to expect really nice procs from this zone and VP, this isn't a complete piece of ****... it's actually pretty good :)

RE: This is definitely fake
# May 22 2001 at 1:42 PM Rating: Default
Druen you are an idiot, this comes out of the Temple of Veeshan, obviously not fake, things like this have been discovered left and fight in ToV for the past month or so.
not too sharp eh?

#Anonymous, Posted: May 22 2001 at 10:46 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) They would probably have stats a lot better than that piece of trash.
RE: This is definitely fake
# May 22 2001 at 9:58 AM Rating: Default
This item is definitely not a fake, afterlife aren't the kind of ppl who lie about weapons they get, thnx. And yes its definitely from afterlife as it was on their homepage as well.
Question
# May 21 2001 at 10:56 PM Rating: Default
I was wondering. Has whoever got this weapon tested this against a giant comparing it to a weapon with similar stats and seeing if it did more damage? It would seem to make sense that it did more damage if it was a bane of the giants, right?
#REDACTED, Posted: May 22 2001 at 9:18 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Actually it seems like more of a quest item, it sux to bad to be an actual drop in ToV that is expected to be used.
I doubt it's a quest item.
# May 23 2001 at 7:43 AM Rating: Default
There's a LOT of crappy loot in the hardest part of ToV. Just because it sucks doesn't mean it's used for a quest.
2hs
# May 21 2001 at 9:52 PM Rating: Excellent
Actually... take a quick peak at your bronze two handed battle axes or scythes... both are listen as primary and secondary.
#Anonymous, Posted: May 21 2001 at 8:35 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) It looks like it says 2hs to me, but what do i know, im not an uber and cool like you all. Hopefully one day ill learn to ***** at everyones post like you. Can i have a cookie teacher? BAH
#REDACTED, Posted: May 22 2001 at 9:16 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) hmmmm, maybe u shouldnt post stupid crap that no one cares about?
RE: Hmmm
# May 25 2001 at 9:41 AM Rating: Default
Hey, the guy was responding to one of the posts below. It argued about the Primary/Secondary issue of the sword, and this guy just did what everyone else does by responding. So, some people do care about what this guy had to say, so take your flames elsewhere.

P.S. You're listed quite a bit here, and people are starting to hate you.
Three possibilities
# May 21 2001 at 7:53 PM Rating: Default
Ok...
A) this weapon is fake
B) Verant made the embarassing mistake of making a 2hs usable in primary and secondary hands
C) Verant made the embarassing mistake of labeling a 1hs weapon as 2hs.

now... I am assuming this is a typo, and not fake
If it is a 2hs, it is an absolute piece of ****- the dam/delay sucks for a weapon dropped off of so powerful a mob
If, on the other hand, it is in fact a 1hs... we have found the new wurmslayer! :)
what do you guys think it is?
1h or 2h?
# May 21 2001 at 7:30 PM Rating: Default
Alright, what's up w/ this wpn? Is it a fake? Because normally 2h wpns say it's just 'primary' slot right? this says primary or secondary.....which means 1hs. Just curious, sounds weird.
