Sweet longsword....

[skepticalsoul]

I'm not expecting epic scrolls for it, I simply put things I'm looking for in my trade thread.

If you read below where I put my scroll trade list I plainly stated that if someone wanted the sword and wanted me to trade other things in conjunction with it to get one of the scrolls I would do it.

Is it the best DR breaking weapon for a pure pally, no. Is it much nicer than swinging a metaline of pg weapon or wasting 24 larges to craft a MinII, yes.

If any of you thought that I thought this weapon was the best thing since sliced bread you're wrong, but in no way is it close to as bad as any of you make it out to be.

okay, allow me to break it down for you. You suggest that the weapon is *GREAT* for a Paladin, but even as a DR breaker it isn't very good. Let me explain why, a paladin due to their limited smites have to maximize the damage output they do with them, therefore a weapon with a high critical profile benefits them the most. A longsword, does not have a high critical profile, nor a x3 critical multiplier, both of which the paladin benefits from.

Then you suggest it's GREAT for a Paladin so they don't have to craft a mineral II, yet a pure Paladin shouldn't EVER have to do this with the holy sword spell at their disposal. And considering that the holysword is much better than this weapon in both critical profile, and critical multiplier, and it bypasses all DR in the game this weapon is therefore trash. Vendor it. Unless you know someone with an excessive amount of scrolls and a flavor build WSS paladin then you aren't going to find a buyer.

I take that back. Not even a WSS could us this since they don't get weapons of good. The only thing that's impressive about this weapon is that it has more suffixes and prefixes than can fit on a single line.

Hi random person on Ghallanda, In the hands of a pure pally that is an entirely kick ass weapon, with that said, why did you feel the need to tell me how good my weapon is or isn't?

Hi random person on Sarlona, regardless of pure pally or not, random person on ghallanda brings up the excellent point that this weapon may sound good but ultimately suffers from horrible prefix syndrome rendering it nothing more than a +1 silver longsword of GEOB with far too high of a min level.

Not having a high level pally, I was under the impression that Holy Sword was +5 Holy with silver/cold iron etc., not burst.
Knowing this, yes, I can see why it would not be all that great a weapon, although close.

this. Previous post by OP suggests that it is better than metalline PG, and i would like to say that a +1 of metalline, pg (scimtar/rapier/falchion/khopesh) will outdamage that on elite and hard :P (unless, of course, you are a paladin, but... holy sword spell...)

It is pretty awesome against the Hezrou in Epic Into the Deep (assuming a capstone paladin is wielding it).

I would still use holysword spell. Crit profile on that thing is terrible.

Last few times I've fought him, he's been brought down into autocrit status. Because of that, I still wouldn't use this longsword.

...with that said, why did you feel the need to tell me how good my weapon is or isn't?

I'm guessing he wanted to correct an inaccuracy? Maybe that's just me though.

[bigolbear]

that sword looks to me like a prety ultimate weapon against tharak hounds.

and as people have said its nice for pallies, with the bonus that its a dr breaker against devils and extra damage against deamons.

but seriously this sword should go to a paladin who has a real hatred of tharak hounds.

So you expect scrolls for a weapon that's only good in the hands of one class in the game? My my you have high expectations. He probably commented because he might also plays here? Or maybe he is right and it doesn't matter at all why he commented here.

who's jealous now?
