It's likely something else breaking mez for your group. This sword does not have a proc and hasn't had a proc since it started dropping. I've beaten on the availia training dummies with this for upwards of 10 straight minutes with nothing but auto attacks and there are no procs.
Likely culprits - someone in your group is using the wavecrasher sword from BRK, the tank has a damage shield buff like from a summoner, or something else has some minor aoe. Check your combat logs when it happens to be certain.
Any confirmed drops of this since it was posted? I've killed Chef a bunch of times and every time he drops the dire lord gloves, so this seems like a pretty low drop rate item. Also, @McGillacutty, did you happen to see if Chef had this in his main hand when he dropped it? I'm a warrior main and want to get one to test with. Damage and stats look very similar to Smolder Crush and Sunder, with slightly faster speed. The proc will be the big differentiator on whether this is better for a warrior or not.
What specifically does the proc do? Any damage? Does it put the mob in the Disoriented debuff state that enchanters gain bonus damage from? Or does it randomly stun the mobs?
Higher STR than the hammered iron breastplate, and easier to get than the Leonus breastplate. Also, higher CON (impacts hammering blow damage and shield slam and hit rating). Either plate chest that drops in Ashbreather is a good choice for warrior (use what you can get)
It's to make the Aged Brass Key, which is made by "obtaining the Black and Blue Fadestones from Ashbarran and Tyrasura and combining it at the strange coffer."
There is clearly some sort of proc, because using the blade around mezed mobs can cause the mez to break. Logs don't show any damage or debuffs on the opponents, but it is doing something.
Dropped from Wildblood Duskborn. It's spawned twice for us, and both were at night. He spawned at the bottom of the stairs of the east hut in the NW sector, and walked to the circle.
The first time you equip it it looks like its equiped 1 handed as your offhand or shield stays visual but its just a visual glitch and not working like the butchers gaff did at first
Anyone else get one of these recently? Ive gotten two staffs of sarulith and everything else except this and the cleric gloves out of the weathered chest
Probably the best idea for crafting tbh. There will most likely be enough changes that it'd be easier to wipe and re-enter then hunt and edit each due to volume. Not to mention probably a bunch of removed or renamed recepies/schematics.
Thanks. have to confess we're not very updated on a lot of the crafting stuff because there's just so much of it and it changes a lot.
We're considering starting over with the entire crafting section for the spring wipe.
