Completely pointless paladin weapon. It's neither highly effective for healing, for tanking, or for DPS purposes. Almost seems to be an attempt at a paladin hybrid weapon... only weapons can be changed any time in combat. I strongly recommend most pallies pass on the hilt to classes that gain more effective one handers from this just because you'll probably never use it.

Actually looks like a very decent Protection Pally weapon.

This is a decent weapon for Paladins but there are better weapons out there that will suit your needs more effectively.

Makes you a real tank with Judgement armor https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/itemset=217 right?

This Weapon is best for Protection spec Paladins. If your trying to keep aggro your going to be judging as often as possible(with talents thats every 8 seconds) and with 8/8 Judgement you will also be doing aditional damage each judgement.

Who is going to be Prot speced running BWL and AQ20? not many paladins. Im very close to getting this item and not to excited.

I especially dont like the weapon speed, it should be eithter real fast, 1.5 for seal/judgement of wisdom procs, or real slow 2.9 for Seal of Command Procs.

Recieve Item from Exalted Cenarion Circle rep, talk to Tauren left of Inn in silithus to get quest.

Ok, I'm about to get this sword (have all the mats just need to finish getting the rep). I'm trying to decide on the enchant to put on it.

I'm retribution specced (prot, secondly). I guess that crusader is a no brainer?
I'll use this sword as my primary weapon (for PvP, farming or 5-15 man raids). I'll use a +Healing/+ Intell weapon for the big 40-man raids. So, I'm thinking against the intell enchant since most of those type of fights are too quick to take advantage of extra mana.

FYI, I do have both other pieces of the set and have no interest in respeccing to Protection.

My thought is to increase the damage done for it as much as possible.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Recommendations?

Whats with the undead with that sword.

I must admit that at first glance, my inclination was to dimiss this weapon. There's nothing that really jumps out at one except perhaps the look of it - which is probably an acquired taste. Then, at the prompting of my guild leader (she's a druid), I took another look.

She's right: a one-hander with 51.5 DPS is not to be passed over so easily. I'm now pretty excited about getting this in a week or two.

Take a look at Quel'Serrar:

https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=35887

Compare the two: the Blade of Eternal Justice is essentially a slightly slower Quel'Serrar with better stats, a higher upper-end on "white" damage, and a useful "always on" equip bonus over a "chance to proc" (not to mention a nice set bonus if you use the other pieces).

I suppose it's up to player preference which one better suits you, but I'd say this is fine alternative to Quel-Serrar. I am going to go with the newly-fixed Spell Power enchant on it.

I made an account just to comment on this weapon...

I thought it was ok, to have some +mp5 on a weapon, stats not too bad. Then I saw the Priest equivalent? Holy crap! +4 mp5 AND +90 healing?

OMG Blizz what are you thinking? Talk about inconsisent! Palas got shafted on this one.

At least give it some +dmg and +healing, like the Shaman one, even if you have to lower the stats. I have Aurastone, so this is a just waste of space, despite much more effort to grind to Exalted than it took to get the Aura from Garr.

It looks absolutely awful too. Bah. Keep it.

Read up on CC rep rewards on WoW website... at the bottom, switch pulldown to Paladin. There is a list of the mats.

http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/basics/factions/cenarion/rewards.html

You can only get it if the AQ gates are open on your server, since it comes from the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj (AQ20).

Do AQ20 with 20 man-raid, get Qiraji Spiked Hilt item drop from a number of bosses. Various classes want this item, but since the sword requires Exalted rep with CC, few people will be rolling for it. Our master looter often has to lower the requirement to having Revered rep before rolling. This is the hardest to get since it has a low drop rate.

Also need other easy items (scarabs, idol) gathered from the coffers inside AQ20. Our master looter gathers them, stuffs them in the bank and hands them out when people need them.

Turn the mats in at Cenarion Hold for item.

Anyone know how this blade is carried when not in attacking stance? Does it hang on your back like hakkari warblades? or does it hang on your waist like some 1h weapons?

Gotta say, coolest looking weapon on the game next to the lightsabers :)

Any spec'd paladin shouldn't turn this one down.

Comment by Thottbot

I ground 13,000+ rep in 3-4 days to get Cenarion Circle exalted in Silithus right after the 2.0 patch just to get this sword. Looking back, I should have ground honor before Blizz took a nerf bat to the EZ mode honor, lol, but that's another story.

Anyway, I specced 41 Protection and I have to admit that it made farming encrypted twilight texts a breeze, especially from the Twilight Prophet whenever she spawned. I found myself AOE tanking 7-8 twilight mobs at once with relative ease. With the new changes to Reckoning, this sword really does hit like a beast and rogues fall even faster than before when I use it in combination with Seal of Righteousness, plus the 2.30 speed is a definite improvement over the slow 2.90 speed of my Aurastone Hammer.

That said, I don't believe this sword is as effective for a Holy or Retribution pally, but those specs can still get a lot of mileage out of it. The mana regen for judging seals is very nice for solo grinding, but not much of an issue if you're tanking in a 5 or 10 man instance since we regain mana from being healed by others.

For all the pros of this sword, it does have some cons. It could be a little faster (2.00 or less would be ideal to take full advantage of Reckoning procs). Also, it's pretty weak when you compare it to the druid and priest CC exalted weapon rewards. At least give this sword some +spell damage and healing, Blizz! I mean, the priest mace has +mana regen AND a whopping +90 bonus to healing; give the pallies a break.

It kind of irritated me that the Spiked Hilt piece I had for this sword was just sitting in my bank unused, even after I blew DKP on it unsure whether or not I would actually use it, in addition to my guild's absolute aversion to AQ20 now. Even before the 2.0 patch and the PVP grinding craze, my guild hated going into AQ20 after we downed Ossirian and Ayamiss a few times. They'd rather farm BWL and hit AQ40; not that I blame them.

So was it worth me grinding out the rest of my exalted rep for this sword? If you're Protection spec, hell yes. This is an awesome tanking sword that's on par with Quel'Serrar. But if you're Holy or Retribution, I'd spend my time elsewhere (like grinding honor for the Grand Marshal Warhammer if you're Holy, or the Claymore and Demolisher if you're Retribution).

Comment by Thottbot

This is not a tankadin sword at all, what bennefit does it have? Way to low stamina is the only thing, you want either a very protective blade, or a high spell dammage blade.

can someone link a screenshot please?

Of all the new Cenarion Circle set-weapons from Ahn'Qiraj, this weapon is - by far - the worst.

Comparing this to the other two hybrid classes' weapons, the Hammer of the Gathering Storm (Shaman) and the Mace of Unending Life (Druid) or, for raiderdins like me (healer, anyone?), the Gavel of Infinite Wisdom, or, for basherdins (aka wannabe-warriors) the Sickle of Unyielding Strength, this weapon is TOTALLY and UTTERLY subpar.

:(

/sadface

It has less stats than most other weapons, it has a stupid combination of stats (it's like bliz doesn't know what they want paladins to do - heal or do damage >.<), AND the Equip-Bonus (a bit of mana/Tick) is present on at least one other weapon - that also has a lot of +heal :X

M'eh, I'll just take Lok'Amir if Nefarian is ever so inclined to drop it for us :(

Comment by Allakhazam

this thing just plain sucks. I use spineshatter/aurastone and it's way better

Comment by Allakhazam

Believe it or not, the item is not underpowered at all.

It's exactly what it should be for a level 70 epic. The dps, the stats, they all add up to exactly a level 70 one hander. If you don't like the item, it's just because you don't like the distribution (Perhaps not a fan of strength? or mana per five?)

These would be alternative items with the same iLvl, for anyone interested:

83 - 154 Damage Speed 2.30
(51.5 damage per second)
+7 Stamina
+7 Intellect
Classes: Paladin
Requires Level 60
Equip: Increases healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 32.
Equip: Restores 3 mana per 5 sec.

83 - 154 Damage Speed 2.90
(40.8 damage per second)
+16 Stamina
+14 Intellect
Classes: Paladin
Requires Level 60
Equip: Improves your chance to get a critical strike with spells by 1%.
Equip: Increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 30.

Comment by Allakhazam

Well since Aurastone Hammer got both, dmg and healing, and also mana/five, it fekking > this. >.<

Comment by Allakhazam

It looks a bit weird, but I built up by reputation to Exalted for this weapon and I wish the gates would open on Proudmoore now :D.

Comment by Allakhazam

GAH WTF did they do to this?

it sucks terribly when compairing it to priest/shammie/druid quest rewards :|

Comment by Allakhazam

It's 8-pieces. So the stats add pretty much the same as other 8-piece armors except this one doesn't have all 8 pieces of the set in +armor slots.

Strength: 126
Agility: 63
Stamina: 130
Intellect: 120
Spirit: 44
Armor: 3959

Bonuses
Equip: Restores 20 mana per 5 sec.
Equip: Increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 165.
Equip: Improves your chance to get a critical strike with spells by 1%.
Equip: Improves your chance to get a critical strike by 3%.
Equip: 20% chance to regain 100 mana when you cast a Judgement.
Equip: Increases the duration of your Judgements by 20%.

A less specialized set. Mixed DPS stats with 165 +spell for healing and judgement dmg.

If you want a pure healing set theres the MC one and the BWL one. If you want epic healing gear your stuff is already out there.

For a "dps" set, they are giving a 1-hand weapon to a class that cannot dual weld. So they are pretty much telling us to dps with a 1-hander and a shield. It could be good DPSing gear by using a slow 2-hander and some +strenght gear instead of the 1-hander from the set.

But considering the slots that they are leaving open, you can easily get 40 to 60 +def with the remaining slots, so there may be some interest to that... depending on what you do with the remaining slots this could be good tankadin gear.

So I guess that's what Blizz just did. Just like when they made Retri the tanking tree trying to make it the DPS tree, they just made the Paladin tanking set trying to make the DPS set.

Uh... yeah.. definitely not a level 70 item. L2AQ20?

i wanna pic plz

Comment by Turikk

Probably one of the worst items in the modern game. No Paladin spec seeks physical damage on their 1 hander, not enough int/regen to really be good for anything related to casting, and the speed is too slow to be useful for any sort of seal combination.

Really wish I could spend 10 minutes talking to the designers who envisioned Paladins, because the class was never played in any way that would find this item useful.

Comment by Bobert99

I cannot crap on this weapon or set enough. This sword is useless for a Paladin. It's way too slow for tanking and doesn't have any stats for tanking, it's a one hander so its not for retribution and it has no healing so it's no good for a holy paladin. I don't know what Blizzard were thinking when they gave Priests a weapon with +90 healing and Paladins a weapon that's only good for the gold you get for selling it to a vendor.
