Have killed this mob 12 times now over last week and not once has it dropped the Saber, it has dropped only the hand clay and the single slot Cliknar War Belt. This mob is a very Rare spawn and you can kill up to 40 PH's without it ever spawning. Fairly easy fight for a T8 Group geared tank. If you want the saber farm the mission, it would be quicker IMHO.
