Posted:Oct 30 2001 at 7:40 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) It doesnt have much INT. A MotSS (Mace of the Sadowed Soul) has 18 INT and its 1HANDED think of that no??
MoSS has 10int and is 19/29, this weapon is 21/24, it's the perfect upgrade for a DE sk who already has a high base int but is weak as hell. Also, the epic is 2 handed, you going to complain about that too? This is a sweet weapon and woops the MoSS's tiny ugly butt.
This will be the weapon of choice of SK's everywhere for 1 handed if they don't nerf it. I'm glad I've kept up my piercing! This would allow you to bypass all the weapons listed by Eitsekur. They have certainly given SK's many reasons to go to Chardok! :D
Hmm...droppable...better ratio than Sword of Pain, Noct, Ebon Mace...built-in Strength...one-handed...
The fact that it's piercing _MIGHT_ discourage some, but not many, I imagine...really a incredible weapon, and if this is anything but an ultra-rare drop, it will destroy the market for Noct / Ebon even further, I imagine, especially for those that got their hands on one of the decent SK piercers early on (my SK on Bristlebane server used a Stalagterror Spear for a while, very nice weapon for a Shadow Knight and cheap). Shadow Knights have a lot to look forward to in the new Chardok already (Couple new 2hs weapons, Engraved Di'zok Deathbringer, and now this...)
[EDIT] One more thing I was thinking about but forgot to mention: anyone know what this thing looks like? Hoping for a Spine Chiller or Slimy Harpoon look... *grin*
I'd take this weapon, Don't know if I'd ever use it.
We've got all our SK's SoP by now, if not one of them would take it.
The only time a SK should be using 1h weapons is when they are tanking, so with the 10 ac on the SoP, plus the manaless Grim Aura, the SoP is a far more practicle Tank weapon.
Go with 2h if you aren't tanking

Well, addendium, I could see using this and a shield of rainbow hues for resists on uber mobs with AoEs Still very situational.
Your forgetting that this thing drops off the queen, definately the toughest mob in Chardok and definately on the harder mobs in Kunark. Unlike, say, noctivagant blade and ebon mace, this thing will never be aquired by a pickup group. Since only high level guilds will be able to get this thing, it probably won't be sold for a while. I really don't think it will affect the price of sk weapons much.
