In Burning Crusade a ton more BoP items get added. So far, it seems the highest end loot of the entire game is craftable, although as of now only Blacksmithing has gotten those upgrade-chains implemented.

Let's hope the other tradeskills get comparable stuff. Considering the more than massive amount of time it takes to get a single BoP upgraded to the maximum, they are not really unbalanced to Raid/PvP loot, anyways (which are faster to get).

I want to see the final Engineering item for Gnomishs... Death Ray MkII? ^_^

I did some calculations last night cuz I was bored. I discovered that for every 1 point of strength, it adds approximately .142dps, so even though the blade is 49.7dps, the added +30 strength is equivalent to approximately another 4.26dps, thus making the sword closer to 54dps (53.96 to be approximately exact ;P ). So you've got a sword that does about 54dps (which is better than or equal to most 2h weapons around this level), plus it gives you +30 stamina (300hp).

I use this sword, and I think it's pretty much the shiznit. I might trade it for a barbarous blade, but not some stupid hammer (I'm a warrior, hammers are for pallys methinks). The only problem is the -40 spirit -- it does take it's toll moreso than you might think, but that's why after intense battles I hit my macro'd weapon-switch button to switch from my 2h to my 1h/shield to regen normally, then after I'm up to my max in hp, I switch back to Corruption and regen the added 300hp (albeit much more slowly, hehe).

Bottom-line; it's a badass weapon and it's worth the work to make. It's relatively inexpensive to make (less than 75g), and compared to crappier swords like the songblade that sell for 125g+ on AH, it's not a bad deal -- plus the demonic runes aren't too hard to pick up, you've gotta kill a ton of satyrs in Felwood anyways.

Oh, and I'm a 60 warrior (just hit it last week), and those who say this blade isn't as good as barbarous or some other weapons haven't done their homework. Yes, barbarous has +60 attack power (equivalent to +30 strength) and +1% crit, but it's still lacking 300hp. This sword is for swordsmiths who aren't afraid to do a l'il legwork to make a beastly weapon. If you want your barbarous blade, go for it; it's a good weapon, but if you want to have pride in crafting your own badass sword, go with Corruption in the meantime.

For the poster who said he's been using this word since lvl 53.. htf did u complete the q to become a master swordsmith at 53.. not possible methinks

Wow, finally I see someone who does some research and uses their brain before posting instead of trolling. Good job!

I didn't play a warrior for long, but the fast weapons did seem to generate more rage than slow two-handers. It does seem that there is a base amount of rage generated on a hit, as dual-wielding makes that rage bar fill up quicker than vomit bags after a roller coaster.

So, it all amounts to personal preference, which is quite the way it should be, instead of everyone running around with one or two weapons because "they're obviously the best."

dont worry about spirit if you have heal pots or bandages:P

Imo, Put a crusader enchant on this and it a mean sword. yes Barabrous blade is nice, but this one has more HP (Better for PvP) and with a crusader enchant you got occasional +100 strength. For PvP this is a good weapon (Not for palas though) the minus 40 spirit aint too bad, just eat food. I'm making this Sword at the moment, I got 75% of the mats, Just need to get my skill up and get the quests done. but I rekon I should be able to get it done soon.

Win one game of AV and you get Ice Barbed Spear which owns this... it's not rocket science which one to choose.

The only good thing about this is the look.

Комментарий от Thottbot

whoever thinks this is good for hunter is dumb hunter needs spirit and its bad for palidans cause they need mana da only class that should weild it is warior i know cause i have a pali and hunter

Комментарий от Thottbot

if your in PvE thean just unequip the sword after a battle, regenerate and get back in. that simple :).

Комментарий от Thottbot

besides, why would a hunter go BS anyways? they cant use most of the things they make

-votes for worlds nicest looking sword- do the stats balance each other out in the end? i always find spirit dosent make much of a diff... just saves time recovering after battles (what do i know)

What's the point of making a craftable item BoP?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I've had the materials sitting in my bank for almost a month.
Ever since I got my Warblade of Caer Darrow there really wasn't much point in wasting the materials to make this, then along comes the test server, so finally I found out what it looks like.
Here ya go.

Jeah! that is an sword only for warriors!
the burst in sawesome!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Since our guild is still fairly young in terms of raiding (not too many people fully decked out in 1.5+), I have this sword with a Crusader enchant for PVP and it works pretty well. For PvE, this weapon will hit between 200-250 -- I've had a 3200 point execute crit with that configuration.

Not a bad sword, but the spirit does really kill HP regeneration.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Is this sword really BoP? I hear that its not but I just want to confirm.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Even though shamans cant use Swords why does it say they can in class?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Warlock Mage can't use 2h swords.... 0.o

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Yeah this thing is BOP. It sucks because by the time you get the plans your generally at lvl 60 so you have a better wep anyways.

They need to change this to BoE for sure

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I'd love to see a pic of that thing...looks like it'd be way cool...

Комментарий от Allakhazam

that looks alot like the whirlwind sword just different colour :P

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The most difficult part of this item, in my opinion, is not the 2 x arcanite bars(70g) or 16x Demonic Rune you have to farm yourself, but the Master Swordsmith quest. lvl 61 elite quest from everlook at strat. I have all the mats at lvl 53, but won't be able to do the quest till i'm 60. That's the real drawback of this item.
