Blade of Hanna

The only class that would get a good use out of it is a Hunter, due them rarely using melee attacks, they use every stat and the this weapon is really fast (bad for melee moves). Or sell to some gold buyer that doesn't know it sucks for meleeing :).

But hunters could never effectively use the DPS on this beast. 2-Handed Fury owns with this.

This dropped from a core hound in molten core for us. Our raid leader let the hunters and paladins roll on it first. I was using the Thunderwood Poker and Bone Slicing Hatchet. I don't use it on a regular basis but on longer fights the +spirit and +Intellect is a nice boost.

Most peole who would want this sword cant get into raid instances, myself i farmed UBRS to get one for my paladin ( it is one of the best 2h for seal of wisdom) go to UBRS and wait for the Blackhand Assassins, they have a fairly good chance at droping it considering its epic.

could you tell me what zone ubrs is in please?

UBRS is short for Upper Blackrock Spire in Blackrock Mountain, which is located between Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes.

This weapon would be best in the hands of a paladin or hunter, but probably more so a meelee paladin with its speed and strength.

This is a fascinating weapon and a real shame it's not more avaialble. I'd love to get this on a Reckoning/Ret Pally build. The fast attack speed would allow three swings to double hit, plus that stats are great.

This is very nice sword 2.10 speed and 60dps. Pretty nice one for paladins :) But its very rare..

Since this is a 2-handed weapon, why didn't they just remove the "unique" tag, since you can't have more than one equiped anyway?

Probably so that if you're using it already(Or have it somewhere already where it's Soulbound) you can keep the one you get to sell.

So you can have multiple versions... which means little to some... but gives options to others. With this change... you can basically have say... a Blade of Hanna with Crusader, and/or a Blade of Hanna with Mongoose... etc... and if so inclined, can swap em on the fly in the shy hopes of possibly seeing both proc.

Actually, in Wrath of the Lich King, there is a high end talent in the fury tree that allows warriors to wield two-handed weapons in one hand, but they attack 20% lower when the talent is maxed out. This is liable to change, however.

Fox, i think they mean out of items that are still obtainable by players. plus [url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=22691]corrupted ashbringer[/url] is just unique, not unique-equipped.

OMG Meteoa it's like you knew that warriors would be able to use 2 2H weapons! thats a BIG + to you :-)

They changed most epic weapons to unique equipped for disenchanting reasons I think. I.E, raid disenchanter has this, he would be unable to loot a new one to disenchant it.

It's BoE why would they DE it instead of sell it and there should be more than one DEer

Seriously, why didn'd they just remove the "unique" tag? it's a two-hand weapon and no class can use more than one two hander at the time :>

This drops in UBRS too, by the way, I got mine from a thrash mob during the Rend fight. Although it is so rare that you're not likely to have much luck grinding for it ;)

A level 59 twink Ret Paladin would absolutely destroy enemies with this weapon. Huge DPS advantage plus Paladins benefit from all stats. Plus it looks awesome! For warriors it's useless and hunters will find other weapons with more stats for them.

Indeed, but there are better choices, maybe.. Such as Treant's Bane.. These stats are quite low, such as 11 int (=110 mana), not a big difference but might save u sometimes. Depends on what you are looking for :) And about the Unique-Equipped thing, I think 2H's shouldnt be unique, its useless, but better to be unique-equipped than unique, because you couldn't loot another one if you had a chance :)

yes, awesome speed for a paladin .......

Not the "Best of the Best" But I Guess You Can Say It Is The Fastest Epic 2H Sword In WoW...Hopefully That Wont Last Much Longer [s]Ret Pallys Ftw [/s] [b][[u]Holy Pallys!![/u]

Its probaly for the expansion, if you look at the leaked WoTLK talents, one of the new fury talents is 'Titans Grip' which allows the warrior to dualweild 2-handers, but 20% slower than normal, and seeing as this wep is the best 2hander for a level 59 in terms of dps and stats, it just makes sense.

Trubaca and Earo. [quote Meteoa]If warriors ARE able to ever dual wield Two-Handers, then the unique equipped tag would prevent it from being dual wielded.[/quote] L2R guys before you start posting.

This dropped for me in Stratholme off an Abomination in Slaughter Square.

Some might say you can really "take it to eleven" with this weapon.

This sword dropped in Stratholme from [url=http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=10438][/url] (Maleki the Pallid) Amazing speed, amazing weapon. It's a shame that it was changed to unique imagine having 2 off them on a fury warrior.

This also just dropped for us in Stratholme from the Baron Rivendare.

Also necessary to mention that this is one of the fastest Two-Handed Swords you'll get your hands on, and thus wonderful for skill leveling. The other one you could grab is [url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=14541]Barovian Family Sword[/url] from Jandice Barov in Scholomance. On a side note, it's probably the strongest katana you can get your hands on.

It also never drops, so those who aren't twinking at 59 would probably be better off not farming for this and going into outlands to get the greens there. Helboar Cleaver is the strongest katana I've quested for and gotten, which is a reward for doing a quest with sporregar (More of a DK weapon) If you do all of the sporregar quests, you actually get a very nice blue sword which will tide you over 'til northrend with no difficulties at all.

[url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25987]Helboar Carving Blade[/url] is a better weapon and it is also a Katana.

The point is this is for PvP at level 59. To obtain Helboar Carving Blade you need to be at least lvl 61, as there is a quest requirement for this.

Never seen this weapon before. Know I have. \o/

Good for any class?

Paladin of course. Als twinking at 59!

could be a hunters weapon too, imo, intel gives them rap with talents, str is still usefull in melee situation shame shamans can't wield swords a enh could get 33 ap from this, apart from the other obvious bonusses, altough they prefer to go dual wield anyway

@Shaman666, keep in mind Helboar Carving blade was added in TBC. While this weapon is a level 59 weapon and was added in Classic WoW.

This blade droped me from Stratholme.

Anyone know who or what Hanna is, or is a reference to?

the hattori hanzo katanas from kill bill perhaps? i cant think of anything else.

...Or a mean neighborhood kid of a dev, who was 11 years old at the time.

The famous weaponsmith Hanna was a pragmatist. He could imbue any number of enchantments into the weapons he created, but he always believed the greatest way to improve a weapon was to enhance the person who wielded it. To this end, he crafted an ultimate weapon for himself — the blade of Hanna — a sword that improved his own body to its ultimate potential. The sword served him well and passed on to his son, who attempted to slay a dragon alone. Since then, the blade has been lost to legend. --From WoWwiki

Maybe, just maybe, there could be a Spinal Tap reference on this also.

Regarding the possibility of a Kill Bill reference: It's obscure, and quite possibly a complete coincidence, however the character Elle Driver aka California Mountain Snake, is played by the actress Daryl Hannah. Also "Hanna" is not that different from "Hanzo".

Either this or Brainhacker - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=1263 would be good for an arms twink at 59

(if your into hitting fast and often rather than hitting hard)

No longer unique-equipped.

Put this on a pally and call this the "Blade of IDKWTF I wanna do" But seriously the level req makes this an amazing 59 twink weapon for a holy or ret PvP pally...

Hannah Montannah!

YOU ARE BAD. D:
