Hi Monkeys!

31 Disciple here, who's not getting any nibbles on the vgdisciples board, so thought I'd ask over here, although you guys aren't really known for using defensive weapons  Roll Eyes

Anybody ever played with one of these?

http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/database/items/details/1324346/kodisho-blade-of-divine-pain/

I'm specifically trying to find out what the proc does. I figure it's just damage with a fun name, but how big a proc might make a difference in my camping/grinding tolerance down the road a level or two. And hey, if it actually procs Jin, wouldn't that be fun?

Anywho, thanks for the hospitality in letting your little healer brothers have their own room  Wink

It looks like a pretty cool weapon and +18% to parry is always a welcome thing when I am tanking, but a couple of things bother me:

  • We dont have block anymore. I would hope the weapon was updated.
  • Martial Swords do not give +5% to crit
  • According to curse db that loot table is DEEP. It might take some camping to get that drop.

If you do obtain it though I'd really like to know if it has been brought up to date.

I will definitely post any updates here, Quinn. And I thought some of those stats a little odd myself. But of the ones that aren't odd and/or borked, would it be safe to generalize that +61 2h slashing is equivalent to being 6 levels higher for "chance to hit" higher level critters?

As a personal aside, some days it feels like I'm trying to keep the whole game and most of the forums going by myself, so thanks for the quick reply  laugh

Well, here's your update:

  • Nope, the +block is still on there.
  • Doesn't say +5% crit; that may have just been a Curse error.
  • It is deep, but since he drops a raft of stuff, it took only two kills  Smiley

As for the proc, well the proc has serious issues. The combat spam reports, twice no less, that it does anywhere from 400-800. Healing. On the mob  idiot2 And just to make it more interesting, double green numbers float up over the mob's head when it goes off. BUT, judging by the opponent's health bar, it damages them twice for the proc amount, and then almost instantly heals up one of them. So it does appear to be a straight damage proc, despite all the nonsense. The one thing that has me a little excited is runners. If it goes off when a mob is at low health and the double damage drops them below 0, they don't get one of the damages back, so it's very handy for ending fights, which disciples tend to suck at.

Now I know that the mob health bar hasn't exactly been a shining beacon of truth in the past, but I can definitely say that fights with a lot of procs end much sooner than those without them, or with a different weapon.

It uses the same model as the "Heartsworn" windblade; kind of a wavy/spiky look, so nothing new there.

Higher end martial swords do have the 5% crit on them.

I'm afraid you might be subject to much disappointment, Ryojin, if you take everything from curse as gospel. I can tell you right now that the listing for Kodisho shows the 5% extra crit chance, and the actual sword does not have it.

I think some of the T4 / T5 crafteed may be able to utilize the crit crystals, I'll have to consult my local weapon to get the info.
