Dazzling Longsword

Decent fury warrior weapon for its level but is rather terrible for a combat rogue as its far to quick.

Too bad it wasn't off hand, or just one hand. The faster the better for a rogue's off hand.

too bad its mainhand only

I had this drop for me while grinding in Badlands, TWICE. I don't know why, but I chose to turn a pretty profit off this bad boy. It's nothing spectacular, but the farmers and kids with tons of money will buy this up quickly on the AH. Conclusion :: Sell this for your mount money! 100-175 BO.

A faster version of the phatom blade

This dropped for me today while doing quest in Feralas (The ogres of Feralas) from a Gordunni Mauler. Was in desperate need for gold to buy mount so guess if I was hapy!! =P

Wish it looked cooler. Bought out for 65g. Seems to proc a good amount.

Saw this on a 39 twink rogue the other day... I don't know about you guys but... wtf?

This weapon seems to be the best for lvl 39 Twink. It doesn't give any stats, but if you have money, you can enchant something good on it. This weapon is good especially against rogues, because of the chance on hit. Another good weapon for lvl 39 Twink is: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=868 But I would skip that weapon, because it doesn't give any stats that are necessary for a twink.

Got one funny and also true story with this weapon. My friend was doing some quests with 2 hunters in STV. Then suddenly Dazzling Longsword dropped and they all selected greed. My friend (Priest) was lucky with the roll, so he got it and hunters immediately said to him: "NINJA"! You don't need that weapon. Then my friend said that hunters don't need it neither. Then they had a big argue about whether is it a hunter weapon or not. He said that It doesen't give any stats, so it's pointless for hunter. Better choose a weapon that gives stats and are better. After that argue, hunters finally realized that he's right and he could keep the sword. He sold it to a guild mate for about 50g.

bad luck dude,i have this sword on my twink it relly nice

opps i don't read the whole text,yeah hunters don't need a stat less weap

I've had this sword on my paladin since level 36 along with Wall of the Dead (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=1979). 1) It procs quite regularly, often five times in fight, but does not stack. 2) The speed of 1.70 gives it good synergy with Protection talents such as Reckoning and the seals/judgements that restore mana and health. It's pretty insane actually - with a bit of luck I can regain almost 900 mana back in one Reckoning sweep. 3) The DPS is not bad even at 50, though there are obviously stronger swords around. I am hoping to upgrade to either the Hanzo sword, which is faster, higher DPS and has a more useful proc (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=8190) or Doomforged Straightedge (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=12535) which has good +bonuses on it. 4) It looks really nice with Battlemaster enchant. I'd highly recommend this for paladins with money to burn over swords like the Sword of Omen (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=6802).

This Sword Dropped For Me 3 Days Ago Off Of A Random Mob While A Guildie Ran Me Through For Gear In Ulda It Was Nice..Lol

After spending 200g on this sword and another 30g on fiery enchant i cant say im unhappy with it. If i had the chance again however i wouldnt buy it. As a protection spec paladin i was just as well off using a Knightly Longsword (1.50 speed) as i am with this. If you have money to burn go for it but otherwise i would just stick with a knightly longsword http://www.wowhead.com/?item=864 (for alliance) or a sword of omen http://www.wowhead.com/?item=6802 (for horde).

This was my first epic that dropped from a random mob :). The amazing thing was that i got two of them in less than 1,5h ! Sold both of em and got 285g. Both of thoes swords dropped in dustwallow marsh.

Got this for about 140g from the AH. The sword procs, a lot, in pvp and pve. 30 second Faerie Fire from a prot paladin? Yes please! Best gold I ever spent.

I managed to obtain both the Dazzling Longsword & the Green Tower for my Level 36 BE Paladin (yes it is still level 36 as I write this, I obtained them both yesterday), I had them in her bag and equipped the moment she hit level 36.

The armour reduction buff definately proc's very often. I put Crusader on my sword because my main unfortunately does not have Savagery.

This sword + Crusader + the Green Tower w/+18STA enchanted on the shield = I will love hitting 39 and dominating! (oh ya and I have the Wall of the Undead waiting for me if I ever get this character to 45!)

P.S. On my server, I snagged the sword for 200g on the alliance AH, enchanted it w/ my level 70, then sent it thru the neutral AH with the help of a friend to my BE paladin!

I bought this on AH for 120g whit an enchant Crusader .

i bought it for 90G for my twink warrior gonna duelwield it with vanquisher sword and putting 2 enchants on int(crusaderx2 or crusader+mongoose)

Got this for 170g of Ah, good price seen as it's usaly 150 on other server's and some guy had for 500g in AH lol, whacked a crusader on it and get the agis of scarlet shield with +15 stam and bob's your uncal your instant pwnage lol, Best gold ever spent and this is the 2nd lowest lvl epic in the game.

As long as you don't buy it for a rogue/warrior twink I won't kill you =) Just plz people know what your mainhand speed should be, this is only good for a prot warrior or prot pally... and even then... I'd go with something with stam

It is actually either that helps. Expertise counters dodge and parry that is correct but on hit table, chance to miss is placed higher than dodge. So reducing your chance to miss (hit rating) helps having bigger "window" to actually hit the rogue, especially that I dual wield with that sword. Double mongoose proc + ghostly strike + 24% base chance to miss for DW (5% for special abilities) makes the chance of you scoring the hit very low. For a 39 warrior you can get 14 expertise from Goldminers expert (about 2.64% less for both parry and dodge) and about 15 hit rating (Legguardds of the vault

Exactly... i have it chanted with crusader for my twink prot set (along with Green Tower). Procs really help with rogues, just you would need more hit rating to be of any success against twinked out ones.

[quote]Procs really help with rogues, just you would need more hit rating to be of any success against twinked out ones.[/quote] Assuming you're referring to the amount of Dodge that a Rogue has, +Hit Rating does not affect that. You would need +Expertise to counteract your enemy's Dodge chance.

Actually, this wouldn't be a bad offhand for a twink rogue...high dps and a fast weapon speed, so you would get pretty reliable poison application with relatively good damage.

Its a fine offhand , for main hand this is garbage , get hammer of zul farrak for twinks!

Since this requires level 36 to use then it has the additional benefit of allowing you to put an expansion enchant on it to seriously boost its potential.

It may not have an ideal speed for enchant procs, but to say that rogues/warriors shouldn't buy this is going a bit far. With so many twinked rogues running around in the battlegrounds, it's not unreasonable for any melee class that can use swords to want a proc that prevents rogues and feral druids from stealthing, even if it reduces their dps. This may be an excellent weapon for paladins, but that doesn't mean it's of no use to rogues or warriors. Let's not get possessive of the loot here; there are plenty of drops for everyone, unless you're on a low-pop server :(

The poor speed is not about %proc rates its about how AP scales with speed and high top end scales with instant attacks.

update for 2.4.2: changed into one hand, pretty good for rogue twinks

This item has gained substantial value in my opinion as its proc is excellent and its speed, while not ideal, is certainly fast enough to be quite a valuable off-hand for rogues, especially sword specced rogues. The dps is excellent for its level, and the proc should be very useful when fighting other rogues or druids.

I actually picked this up from "Baron Vardus", a syndicate NPC in Alterac Mountains. Baron Vardus is not displayed as one of the people who drop the sword, though, but let it be known that he does indeed drop it.

This item is a [url http://www.wowwiki.com/World_drop#World_drop]World Drop[/url], listing specific mobs that have dropped it is pointless.

just got this beast at level 36. i had some spare gold so i threw a fiery enchant on it. i must say it is one of the best swords ive seen for around 36-50. when used with seal of the crusader it procs about every 6 hits. xD

why not put +2 wep dmg? itd really boost its affect to skies!

Anyone know if you wield two of these can the effect occure twice without stacking since its from two diffrent swords?

I don't know, but I'm thinking it will just reset the time of the debuff. Besides, what would be the point of it being on the target twice if it didn't stack?

Besides, what's the point in dual wielding it, it's a terrible main hand for DPS classes. My guess is that it will just refresh the debuff, but it isn't worth 300+ Gold to find out.

Is this good duel weild for hunters with sword of serinity

this weapon a long with mongoose can be deadly for a rouge or hunter in bgs

a HUNTER? really?

This weapon with mongoose is useless for a hunter in any situation, since in 98% of the cases the hunter will (should!) be using his ranged weapon, not his melee weapon. Mongoose and any other weapon enchant that has a proc will only proc from melee swings and melee special abilities.

Excelent weapon, it lasted me for many levels. I got it for 90g on AH to, easily one of my best buys.

i just brought it for my sub rogue and with my specc 0/5/25 i have 100 dps on offhand with that alone (when the mongoose buff linghtning speed has activated other wise its 80-90) so this weopon is a must have and goes beutifully with sentinals blade (lvl 38 version). a couple of days ago i downed a twink war with loads of defence rating i repeat ITS A MUST HAVE WEAPON FOR TWINK ROGUES!

Omg...i felt compelled to create a wowhead account just to respond to this post. NO x 1,000,000,000 you do not use this in your offhand, you do not use sentinel's blade in your main hand, you don't put mongoose on it, you dont spec 0/5/25, NO you do NOT NOT NOT want to use this weapon as a rogue at all. and twink warriors dont have loads of defense rating.

sorry about my last post i put that in befor i realised that you could mallet of zul'farrak which indeed is better than sentinals blade also for twinks you should get the lvl 70 pvp shoulder inscript that increeses stam by 30 and hit rating by 15 you can put this on a heirloom then send it to your alts

I don't use this item, but it dropped for me in the DK start area, i was thinking WTF is this, really random

I got a rare drop in the start zone as well. I've made a few death knights and I can't say that I've ever gotten a green, I do find it kind of humorous though to have rares and epics drop there.

Trivia: Longswords in real life are traditionally two-handed.

Well yes, so was this weapon before Blizzard changed it.
