For those who haven't seen:

Thoughts? I am reasonably impressed.

the speed matches our fabled from coa so im happy

what are people gonna use in the other hand? Maybe some non raid drops also?

and also right now I use my off hand for haste (4.0 delay) so any suggestions on another haste item would be sweet. I have COF but like using the marr cloak for dps.

Im a little disapointed

But only becuz I Prefer 4 sec weap delays.

And i know this doesnt relate to most everyone, but Im ona PVP server and the PVP weapon not only has a Better DR, but its 4 sec delay :-P was hopin they would match up.

But O well, ive got plenty of 2.5 delay weaps for raids, jus wont get to use my PVP weap for raids til i find another 4 sec.

But an issue that effects everyone.... Its kinda.. boring lookin wouldnt u say? compared to the other epics... it Kinda... looks like every other monk weapon out there...

Pretty nice item, will have to parse with it to really know. /agree not terribly impressed by the looks tho.

From the lore I'd hoped it would be able to switch from 1h to 2h version - or at least do sometihng cool looking - maybe just wishful thinking...

From History of the Hand
"With just an expert's touch, the five blades could fly open like a fan to demonstrate each individual concept, or swing together to form one harmonious and stronger blade"

Theres always the raided version.

1h Crush?

Are you fucking kidding me?

Some bullshit that this thing isn't a 1h slasher.

lol totally agree. Saddest thing tho is we have to hunt 5 blades after reading a diatribe about how monks should always use blunt weapons instead of the slashing and piercing 'weapons of war'.

As for anyone who doesn't understand why slash > crush/pierce think about what slash enables you to do.

Its not aesthetic, and its not because the weapon has blades.

Hmm Im kind of happy its crush, considering so much of our gear offers +crush, what am I missing?

pagansaint · 02-09-2008, 02:27 AM

Missing being over cap vs OJ mobs on c/s/p anyways?

I have 10 skill difference which will equate out to less than 0.25% hit rate difference, only time it would make a real difference is when tanking.
