Crystalblade of the Draenei

Comparable to Crystalline Kopesh http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25772 a quest reward from "Wanted: Durn the Hungerer"

Although I would say this one is better. Prefer the 1.60 speed above the 2.10

Losing 1 defense and 195 AC, but gaining much needed +hit ... hard decision. Plus, you lose a lil on the DPS side, so I would and do wear this over Kopesh.

For Warriors that are not yet 70 (assuming they are Fury), I would recommend taking http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25773 as your reward for Durn. It is a much better leveling weapon and you can get this or http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31071 once you hit 70.

This is a random world drop, and a decent tanking weapon. Dropped off a Wyrmcult Zealot for me.

OMFG u payed 250g .... this is a craptastic wpn @ 70 ( see dungeon drops as well as Gromtor's Charge ) .. while it is good for 66 , the durn sword is free + u shld never spend 250g on smthg u won't wear @ 70

Bought one on AH for 50g, easily worth twice that with all of the great instance gear I've gotten as a product of this item, I highly advise you to get this weapon if you are a warrior, even if you don't plan on tanking, it's a great OH weapon

Grom'tor's Charge http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31071 The best pre-raid tanking weapon in my opinion.

More stam is nice, but less defense and no AC (except for the little from the AGI). I guess *maybe* the small amount of chance to crit due to the AGI and the higher DPS might help on aggro, but otherwise I'd wear this over Grom...

The AGI also adds a small amount of dodge.

Actually The Sun Eater http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29362 is probably the best pre raid tanking weapon.

IMO the best pre-raid tanking weapon is [url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29362]The Sun Eater[/url]

I got lucky and just picked up for 30 in AH, good deal, last week friend got for about 99g, so I'm really happy ^_^

I have a level 70 Prot pally friend who uses this. It's actually a pretty good weapon for Tankadins, combined with a decent armor shield.

This is one of favorite tanking swords. When I first started raiding Kara, I was OT but found myself able to generate much more aggro than the MT on the average boss / mob, more than likely due to the weapon speed. (we used the same spec, but he was much better geared)

This sword has actually dropped three times for me in less then one month on two different characters. I actually ended up using this as a oh on my rogue. The fast speed and the fact that you get free stam, defence and armor makes this a great oh weapon for dual wielders should this ever drop for you:)

Is there a certain area that this drops in, or is it just a random world drop? On my server, its going for about 300g (which is not in the budget atm) and my warrior could definitely use it to finish lvling.

No BoE blues are "farmable" in any realistic sense of the word because of the ludicrously low drop rates.

That's somewhat inaccurate. There are a few BoE blues that drop solely from certain rare spawns, and about a hundred that drop only in certain instances. Some BoE blues are farmable, but, not this one.

Nice print screen.T6 blue gear :X:X

This sword is ugly as homemade soap, but it is an excellent tanking sword. I've had one since I was 67, and I'm still using it at 70. I'll probably be replacing it soon, but I definitely recommend this sword to any tank who has the money to buy it.

That's the most beautiful soap I've ever seen then.

I was searching HA for high-level weapons when I found that sword priced at 50G, but with no buyout price. I sent my bid, but someone was interested too, and after 2 days and tents of tries, I WIN, but spending around 160G! My Pali was level 50 or less yet, (my first character in this realm) but I was enchanted by this sword, and so, I permitted me a little madness and spent ALL my Gold! (hey, it’s just a game!). I planned to be a Retribution Pali using 2H weapon and I use two simple trinkets for max damage. However, using [[url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31234]Crystalblade of the Draenei[/url]] at 1.60 speed and its solid 62.8 DPS, every time that [[url=http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=20055#.]Paladin's Vengeance[/url]] + [[url=http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=20182]Reckoning[/url]] is activated w/ [[url=http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=27158]Seal of Crusader[/url]] + [[url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23203]Librem of Fervor[/url]] and more [[url=http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=31884]Avenging Wrath[/url]], I thanks give by my moment of insanity. It’s amazing! I recommend that mix to everyone, because it’s very fun. Even in PVP, you will be able to astonish your enemy, since you use a shield, and people for sure will sub-estimate your damage. P.S.: weapons with the same DPS would cause the same damage, if there are no other variables. But, in the real game, in identical time-periods, the fastest weapon will attack too many times the target, and it will rise up its chance of hit target, it chance of critical hit, as so will enlarge possibility to starts eventual abilities like Vengeance or attributes that does “something on hit”. When in doubt about two weapons with similar characteristics, just prefer the faster of them.

inuuro's blade is a a lot better in terms of dps, extra +hit and more stam http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34672 so save your monies and grind shattered sun rep at 70 instead!

The fact that you can use this sword 4 levels earlier makes it worth it. I got mine for 60 gold, and it is worth every copper.

Just got this one for a steal at 29g buy out on AH. Woo Hoo

Next replacement without 70 raiding or heroic instancing, I believe[url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44736] this[/url] is the next upgrade for you at level 74.

Every character I have run through Outland has looted this item- It's almost like a rite of passage for me and it can sell for hundreds of gold on some servers

I bought this for my 66 prot warrior, and it's amazing. I put Battlemaster on it, and it does wonders! I'm sooo happy! I got Battlemaster cause I'm leveling and the random heals help alot. But for anyone else wondering, does anyone have any other good enchant ideas for this weapon?

Edit: Battlemaster kinda blows. Put Crusader on this guy instead. Much better.

I found this off a random spawn in Nagrand. I picked up another in the AH for 210g and I now use both for tanking with my Frost Death Knight. Never before have I had such an easy time as a tank. A must have for a level 66 tank in my opinion. (Of course, if you're a DK, having two of these doesn't hurt at all. 8) )

Interestingly enough how the weapon has Draenei in it's name but I do not see one screenshot of a Draenei using it. Such a pitty.

I added a screenshot of my tankadin draenai wielding this blade, happy now?:P I actually got this weapon by good ol' fashion lucky drop. Very good weapon.

Got this from Mana-tombs Drop. Really unexpected but its great! Tank with it using 67 Prot Pally. Havent found a weapon better for my level yet. Never seen it drop again, even though i've re-run the dungeon 13+ times? My friends always ask where it drops, i just say idk so ill be the only one with it. Havent seen any of these on my server at all.

Got this today out of a Silverbound Treasure Chest in Blade's Edge. Nice surprise !

I'm using this on my lvl 68 death knight, it's very nice. A fast weapon with good tanking stats. It's as you can tell from other comments, HIGHLY recommended for this level.

Dropped off of trash mob during a dungeon run. The Escape From Durnholde to be specific. Very nice weapon & might fetch a good amount on the AH for those that want it for transmog purposes.

Just dropped for me from trash in Old Hillsbrad HC

This dropped for me off an [url=https://wowhead.com/npc=18312]Ethereal Spellbinder[/url] after 5 runs of the Mana Tombs [b]Heroic[/b]. I think farming chests would be better odds but all the same, good luck!

Just got this from a [npc=17150 domain=www] when I was farming for a recipe in Nagrand
