    Against the evil outsiders you really want a weapon like that against (Arraetrikos and Suulomades), it's marginally weaker (1 damage less) than a +5 Metalline of Pure Good.

    I'm assuming such a weapon would be worth quite a bit on Cannith.
    I don't have a zerging problem.

    I'm zerging. That's YOUR problem.

    First of all, nice pull!

    Unfortunately, the reason why it's not the perfect uber weapon is because it will not bypass the DR of any evil outsider (it's not silver nor cold iron), resulting in the reduction of the base damage for each hit. While you would deliver 100% of the 2d6 holy (average 7 pts per hit) and 3d6 bane damage (average 10.5 pts per hit) to evil outsiders, your base damage will always be reduced (yellow). For example, the DR for evil outsiders in Threnal is in the 7-10 damage range (i.e. a hit for 20 base damage might only do 12 pts), while the DR for the Shroud Raid boss Pit Fiend is as high as 15-18; therefore the average holy and bane damage for each hit (total 17.5 pts) is equal to the DR loss for it not being silver or cold iron, and making it equal to the value of a +1 or +2 Metaline of PG GreatSword.

    To be clear, the weapon is nice, just not as nice as a +5 Metaline of PG which would reliably deliver full damage to all Evil Outsiders. By the time that most well-developed DPS builds are hitting the Shroud, they are relying on the bonues and multipliers of their base damage, which for your weapon is reduced.

    Specifically on the Cannith server, I would recommend an AH min-bid of 75k pp and a buy out price of 200k pp.
