          Im so happy for people like you who understand the game. Hunters do not need this sword over a warrior. If it drops, and you somehow ran Strat without a warrior, or the warrior doesnt want it, THEN you can let it sit and rot on a hunter. A hunter rolling against a warrior for this sword should be punishable by castration.

        Well for a hunter this is really just a stat bonus, of course their main dps comes from a bow, I've never really understood why people say hunter should get equal oppertunity on some things like this as a warrior. Warriors dps is ALL from their melee weapons obviously, it seems a no brainer that they should get this. Thats like me saying a warrior should get just as much oppertunity on a bow or gun that a hunter does, or a mail piece, and whenever mail drops that a warrior wants and a hunter's in the group, they're very mad when you roll. Anyways, point is, if a warrior needs this, give it to him (or other melee weapon user, ie. paladin) over a hunter. Though admittedly, it has good stats for any class, and I wouldn't be THAT upset if I lost it to a hunter, it just makes more sense for a warrior/paladin.

        This was buffed recently, making it slower and more max damage, this just seems to prove it's made for warriors, as speed hardly matters on hunter's melee weapon (in fact they usually prefer faster, case in point: http://thottbot.com/?i=35900 ) Make a warriors day and don't roll on this, hunters. :)

          Ugo, people with your state of mind should be sterilized to save future generations from having to deal with your idiocy. You were the only one who could equip in your group, ok fine, but when you say that you would roll over a warrior, who actually puts a melee weapon to its proper use, you prove just how much of a jackass you are. "I crit for 1k with my wimp-bitch strike." Warriors would crit 2k+ with this weapon. easily. It's a 'toy' when no one in the group needs it, like in your group's case. But when theres a dps warrior, with a weapon that has less high dmg than this sword, it becomes an upgrade for him, not a toy.

          Again, bottom line: hunters who /need this over a warrior who NEEDs it, need to go take a few deep breaths at the bottom of a pool. thx.

            Last edit: 1.8 years ago
            I have a 60 paladin (Topal), a 60 rogue (Sigyn), and a 51 priest (Threeler, my namesake) on Gurubashi.  I've been playing this game since it came out and it's just that, a game, but part of a game is following certain rules and a simple rule of thumb is "don't be selfish".  Hunters get a bad rep for needing on everything because too often they do.  I've had +Int gear lost on my Pally (mail in SM before I hit 40, though I have no idea why besides the fact that the game was new and no one really knew any better) and +Agi gear lost on my Rogue (leather.. post 40..) and there are some simple guidelines I think that should be set.

            1) Do not roll on ranged weapon upgrades if you are a rogue or warrior over a hunter.
            2) Do not roll on melee weapon upgrades if you are a hunter over a melee class. 
            3) Do not roll on any sort of armor that is not your top rank above someone else of that rank.  (to all you cloth-adins out there making priests hate us)

            You don't need to flip out when something purple drops.  Look at what it is before rolling, and maybe you'll realize it's nothing special anyway.  I've seen druids need on the Carapace from Rend's mount just because it was epic.  That's not cool.

            And, in closing, think of it like this: If instead of +Agi and +RAP it had +SD and +Int, would a mage roll on it?  When it comes to end game raids, and honestly most level 55+ groups (which is what any player with this weapon must be in), that's what your mentality should be in a lot of cases as a hunter, and if you're a PVP hunter and fleeing from people in AV (as someone mentioned above) you're probably screwed anyway.

            Also, in regards to another contested item: Rend's hands are for combat rogues.  They get the most out of them, even more than fury warriors and hunters, thus that's a bigger "need" than you've got. 

            Thank you, have a nice day.

                This is a warrior and/or a paladin weapon. Personally, I say that paladin and warrior are equal here, however, that's for you to decide.

              Next time a good bow/gun drops that you need, I hope a rogue rolls need on it for the agi, and then tells you where you can go find a better one. Who cares if there's a better one somewhere else, if theres a warrior present who needs this sword because he doesnt have whatever you think is better, it should be his. Not everyone wants to have to gain faction in order to get a good weapon, and they shouldnt have to. This is a warrior sword, and I hope you burn for saying otherwise.

The warrior sword specialization talent makes swords so much better than any mace.

              I believe that the aspect of this sword is not on the dps, but on the effect. Of course the increased HP regeneration rate has no effect in battle, or pvp period, the increased movement speed is very good. Especially for a Paladin. Warriors have charge and hamstring, and maybe even improved hamstring, but Paladins do not have any slowing effect, and barely any ranged. Therefore, they need speed to pvp. This would help Paladin's in a great extent, in my own opinion of course.

              Hunters also benefit from this, but to a lesser extent. It just helps them kite more easily.

              For Warriors, they would benefit from the dps, and the HP regeneration. After a fight, if they have run out of bandages and food, they can just sit down, and let the sword bring Warriors back to fighting strength. The speed increase would just give them more time to charge if the opponent is faster or on a mount.

                  That would be right, except Bone Slicing Hatchets give 13 agi, not 12.

                  So, x2 Bone Slicing Hatchets with agi +15 would give 112 attack power.

                  And 112 > 110 for you that cannot add correctly.

                  And again, for all morons out there...No movement speed increases stack. Any movement speed increase in the game is 8%...Whether it be from this blade, the Revered AB boots, or the enchant, they ALL give 8% movement speed increase and DO NOT STACK.

                  That goes along with the 2 points in Persuit of Justice.

                      If you guys want to put things into perspective, think about it this way.

                      -What if there is a ranged weapon with no stats on it, but it gives 20 hp/5 seconds and 8% movement increase. It also has good damage, dps, and a nice speed. Would you be mad if a warrior needed it for the 20 hp per 5 seconds and the movement speed, of course you would be. You need it for the dmg, DPS, and speed, right?

                      Now think of the sword, the reason why a hunter shouldn't take this over a warrior is for the same reasons why a warrior shouldn't take the bow mentioned above, the warrior needs the weapon for the dmg, dps, and speed, whereas the hunter would need it for the other abilities on the weapon.

                      Of course, I'm talking about random pug groups, if it were a group of guildies running, they would have their reasons to give it to whoever.

                      Got the Runeblade at my 221 run with my hunter.

                      Melee hunter ftw ;)

                      EDIT: Another Runeblade drop on run 226 :P

                        I guess we'll wait and see what's provided at start, but I think it should almost be a requirement for a DK to have this sword.

                        I know mine will. >:)

                        Dude, even though it'll kinda blow at Lvl 80, I wanna get this for a my Deathknight when WotLK comes out, just to say I got a legendary weapon of sorts, ya know? Plus the fact I think an 80 could solo the instance over and over for it, so I'm quite sure I'll be putting in some time on my Death Knight for this bad boy.

                        Nah its not, its a rare sword you start with, added just for the DK. Its not the runeblade.

                        No....You start in cloth looking plate armor and no weapon.


                        You spawn in a academy like necropolis in the sky where you learn how to play and use the death knights rune forging and spells.

                        The quest line there gives you blue armor with strength stam and crit, and the final quest gives you a choice between an amazing looking 2h sword and an okay 2h axe.

                        Is a good site to learn about him
