Scars of Velious
I would like to add that this is easily one of the most beautiful non-epic weapons I've seen, the only better looking weapon I can think of is probably the Blade of Truth
You're talking to me all wrong... It's the wrong tone. You do it again and I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron.
Won a Dawncaller last night. Also got a Shield of the Protector. Can't wait to hit MMCatacombs to try it out> Instrument of Nife procs like 4-6 times per mob now, for 243 a pop, stacked with the 850DoT> will be lethal for them undeads.
All I need now is slay undead(3) and we are in business.

This sword is pretty nice even now, a few years since Velious came out. The damage/delay is on par with pally one-handers from PoP Tier II & III bosses. The DoT is really powerful for a Velious item.
Yeah, this would rock in MMC, and also Deepest Guk (which no one ever visits for some unknown reason).
To Aronos Honorblade:
Don't get too excited about SU3. I don't know if it was nerfed, but by the time I earned enough AA points for it, I did not achieve the amount of crits that people were raving about. For me, SU3 goes off about once every 3 minutes.
What sucks with SU is that nothing seems to change the rate in which it goes off. I have observed this regardless of which weapon I try, what buffs/hastes I have on, or even when envoking the Holyforge discipline.
SU damage is the only thing that changes since it seems to be affected by your weapon damage. If you use a low-damage, fast one-handed weapon then your crit will be around 200-500. A big slow two-handed weapon will crit between 400-2000. If you get really unlucky, SU3 will trigger during a Bash, in which case you'll see crits between 30-50.
If I had the chance to redo my AA's, I'd skip the whole Slay Undead line until all the other important AA's were done.

Dawncaller rocks for a sword. 6 ticks for 125 DoT vs undead. I got this awhile back, no paladins in my guild wanted it as we tromped thru TOV. So I asked for it, guildies asked why dawncaller when 2hdr's do more dmg. I simply stated, WoN dd + slay undead crits + dawncall then switch to rocksmasher or some other dps weapon till proc wears off = alot of dmg. while the slay undead may be based on dmg of the weapon to get huge crits, this sword's proc makes it worth the effort to proc in an undead camp or raid. Heck with holyforge i managed to accidently rip aggro from our MT in akheva, inc bind point plz wait. A Paladin officer asked how is holyforge working for ya? I said, dunno let me try it...loading plz wait. Hahahahah

If your in a guild that can get this sword then you should also be equiped to MT in Akheva. Oh well I guess I'm running my paly incorrectly...

Anyone know what level this goes off at?

According to Verant paladins are 3/4 (or is it 2/3) Warrior and 1/4 (1/3?) Cleric... Any of you who have played a paladin to a high level will know that you dont have THE greatest DPS, you dont have THE greatest HP, you dont have the greatest Spells. But combine the 3 and your every raid leaders dream.
Countless asses ive saved with Healing Wave of Prexus, Hand of Piety and Lay hands.
Was raiding NToV last night and fighting Zlexak, has quite a ***** of an AE, and i realized that id been playing Sedorr (my paladin) wrong for.... 62 levels. Id been going immediately after HP (as HP is priority for tank class not AC) and my resists were suffering - which caused me countless problems when we last killed Aerin Dar (PoV Crystalline Dragon) So now my aims are to raise resists high, raise my DPS higher, im happy with my HP (it balances at 6k atm, with the 3 more levels and defensive AAs i plan to get it should be nearer if not 7) and raise my Mana/FT pool. Last night i worked out that by spending 40 raid points on a 30ac 41% haste 15all saves belt and selling my CoCW, i can get 32kpp, 15extra HP, 6% extra haste and 15 extra resists in every slot (after buying White Bear Pelt Cloak, assuming CoCW sells for 35k which is relatievly right)
Back on the Paladin issue : and in keeping with the forum Dawncaller.
I plan to get a Dawncaller to use with my Shield of the Protector - Im getting bored of using 2h weapons and until the weekend and we kill Tunare then im not going to be stressed for a 2handed weapon :)
Class balancing :
No class is over balanced at the moment, anyone who says Xxx class is so good or Yyy class sucks obviously hasnt needed a certain buff from one or an innate skill for the others - if you want to criticise a class, play it to level 65 thrash out every tactic that class has and then come back and say that you didnt like it.

/agree on all out AC
I started out with a warrior pal as my duo so through our younger seasons I was the healer. From this I always planed on gear and eventual AA targeted toward healing/mana. Then I started to get a few seasons ahead of him and we realized I was doing a better job of tanking and just self healing. Long story short, he rerolled, we met a cleric and I became the MT. Dumped mana preservation, improved healing, and gave up on my plan for archtype AA to go straight into healing goodies. (I still say it would have been fun to run a Paly this way, not the "best way" but different is fun IMHO). So tons of time in the Bazaar later I was 51 seasons with a 1250 AC unbuffed and starting to get offers for groups more frequently. By 55 I had a 1350 AC unbuffed. Now 58 I'm rolling 1420 AC, 5kHP with Aego and 50AA. Damn near being begged to MT (for some people I don't even remember grouping with).
Hindsight 20/20 and wish I knew then... I guess I've learned that gearing and AA can put your Paly right up there with the best MT's around, add in your agro managment power and you've got the job.

Yup, they changed it a long time ago, they stack now. You don't get the proc from both, you get the proc from whichever one is first in your buff list.
Actually, Boon used to overwrite Nife, but they've changed the stacking, and I've had both on at the same time. DM and Nife still don't stack.

He he... more flames and arguements!
As a ranger, I've had the proc from Dragon Horn Ykesha, Icy Blade, Call of Sky and Boon of the Garou on me at once.
Sometimes I got the 75 from Ykesha, sometimes the 30+ from Garou, sometimes the 35 from Call of Sky, and sometimes the ice nuke from Icy Blade.
You can have lots of procs. They just don't go off all at once.
AKA - One swing won't have me doing 75+35+30+30 in procs. Just one. But, it can be one of any of those four.
This is what I have encountered. Feel free to yell and flame some more.

Actually, you can have a proc'n weapon, divine might/intrument of knife, and boon up at the same time ... its just that only 1 will proc at a time. personally I have Natures Defender, and when fighting undead i use knife for the 243 proc ... it doesnt replace the proc on ND, simply adds another. So I sometimes get a 150 proc, other times 243.
as for the blade above. Nice :) a nice feature not so commonly noticed. 0.0 wt ! hehe. its nice to never have to worry about sta loss. (short of being underwater)

Let me just say that on a Dwarf Paladin I play sometimes with the Fiery Defender I have had Nife, Holy Shock and Divine Might all go off in successive hits on the same mob in Bottom Guk. I will also tell you yesterday night in Greg’s End it would not stack It is nice to have the opportunity to try and I will go for this weapon within the next 2 months. When the guild kills this thing I only hope I am given fair consideration for this weapon if it drops.

:) no you cant.. You can have 1 item proc and 1 spell proc up at one time. yes, your ND will do 150dmg OR the Divine Might will go off for 65dd. You can never have Divine Might / Boon / IoN up at the same time.
Got one and love it, makes soloing in zones like The Grey much more possible. The DoT is just plain nasty.

Imagine This: equiped with best sheild ye can get, Instrument of Nife buf up, Valor of Marr up, Divine Might up, Seb Berserker Cloak (or other awesome haste item) and Boon of garu (if ye can stomach it) plus any other Shamanistic/Chanter bufs. I drool on what ye can do to Undead with this simple combination of Items and Bufs. Then at the Highest levels with Alt Adv system with the crits and crits to Undead, all I can say - WOW! Just simply - overkill! (but I guess there no such thing as overkill in EQ).

I have submitted today a new graphic for this item, with the correct stats.
The Proc is the most Advanced Undead damage proc for paladin, sorta like the final version of a ghoulbane. It does about 750 DoT in 6 ticks... thats fast DoT and its pretty nice... even for very high lvls...

Here's my point of view of Balance. Of course a lot of people will argu, and that is fair...
Everyone says rangers get the shaft. The Ranger is the Only Duel Wielding class that can cast healing, and SOW. They get less AC because of their DMG output.
FOREST STALKER'S BREASTPLATE
Classes: Rangers
Races: Humans, Wood Elfs, Half Elfs
Stats: 48 AC +50 MANA +50 HP +7 AGI +14 STR +7 DEX +7 STA +7 WIS +5 SV COLD +7 SV MAGIC
Special Attributes: MAGIC
Slot(s): Chest Slot
Weight: 8 Stone
Effect: Call of Earth
Oh man, look at that AC! 8^)
And some might say, Oh wow I would have to be so high level to get that armor! Look at this sword please... High level required as well.
I have never heard a monk say that they wanted more AC. If they did, then their DMG output would have to come down to balance it out. Of course there are other abilites that rangers get, but I am just brushing the surface.
Everyone says that Paladins get "The most uber equipment". Like Blade of the Morning. Lack of Duel Wield makes our DMG output next to none. And even with this UBER! blade, I would still dish out less DMG then a warrior of equal level, and equal equip. Paladins are Healers/Extra DMG tank. Not pure tank.
Fact of that matter is, balance is everything. Rangers get less AC, and more DMG output. We get more AC and less DMG output. It's that simple. Ranger's abilites are more spread out than other classes. Thus, they aren't as effective in every field.

Ok i play a pally and a rogue. People are complaining that Palidans whine alot well i dont whine about mine i am quite happy, so what if he dont get duel weild he dont need it. Now rangers dont get much ac or hp so what, play your class right and u wont need it. I mean come on why should a ranger even be in a battle being hit when he can stand back ALONG way from the battle and do 500 damage almost constantly with a bow, which is what rangers are ment to do. Play your class the way it is suppose to be played and you wouldnt have to complain.

Rangers dont do that much damage with a bow till MUCH later in the game.

Lol! Everyone seems to hate paladins until after one of us saves their butt from losing a level with LoH, or there is no cleric around and we can do an Xp rezz. Let me state this again so even the intellectually challenged among you, meaning you idiot/savants who somehow lost the savant part, can understand. Ready? Ok, THERE IS NO "BEST" CLASS. It seems to be some kind of chest beating thing alot of people have, or more realistically, a pissing contest. Why don't you guys go argue who is better, and me and the rest of the clue endowed folks can go play and have fun? I personally like playing a Paladin, and run-by-healing other people who have taken hurt. I like resurrecting people who were killed by a train or just soloing or whatever. Warriors are pretty cool, but I don't want to play one. Wizards are cool but I don't want to play one. It doesn't matter, I play the class I ENJOY to play..It has absolutely nothing to do with how uber I want to seem to everyone, I just like the game. I had read in another post where someone said that there should be a license to play like a driver's license, that way the pre-pubescent among us couldn't play... /agree . Keep the posturing to yourself and let the rest of us enjoy the game.

Also, the SK weapon is 1HB, while the sword is 1HS, BIG difference, since most SKs I've met don't use blunt.
What the hell are you smoking... ever hear of a MoSS? I barely know a ShadowKnight who HASN'T worked up 1HB...
In my opinion, ALL weapon skills should be brought up... this way, when a Black Rock Maul of Crushing drops you can actually USE it efficiently.

You can't really depend on getting all skills up between the time you start and the time when a specific weapon you want of another skill drops. It's like if you wanted to get Soulbinder for an SK but you have to go to KC in order to get in a group to camp and the question is what are you going to use to get your skill up before you get this weapon? And why not use a weapon you know you are more proficient with in a group in order to kill monsters faster? I think you really have to pick the weapon skills you wish to get up before hand and plan out a progression line from 1st weapon on the line to last. An example for paladins might be as such: Ghoulbane -> Sword of Morning -> Thelvorn Blade of Light -> Dawncaller Blade of the Morning. Problem is you have to plan also shields or seconday slot items as well if you choose to use 1hs while with 2hs your really just set. Just my lengthy opinion ;)

OH Im HAPPY for the Pally's who get this and think should. I just want to know WHERE IS MY 1 RATIO WEAPON as a Ranger or Warrior? SK's Im sure yours is out there so just be patient seeing the Paly with theirs you will have a dark counterpart < as it should be>.
The only ratio 1 weapons rangers/warriors wil get will either be 2hs or 2hb more than likely.
Though I could be wrong, just havent see any yet.

paladins NEED higher dmg weapons , if you havnt noticed they dont get Dual wield, When fighting a a higher conning creature you want to use 2 1Handed weapons, since paladins cant dual wield they give them uber weapons to even out the damage done,

They damn sure cant tank like a warrior, cant do dmg like a warrior. WHy give them the best 1hs in the game? That's just a god damn waste. **** YOU VERANT! **** YOU!
