Hehe. I've seen about 3 in game already. "Rare" in GW never means it only drops once in 3 years. Rare in GW really just means "new" before it is overfarmed.

When avare said

"Paragons are broken"

It means that Paragons are overpowered and too good.

you are arguing over nothing since you essentially said the same thing.

WTF is wrong with you?!

When nightfall was first released I had no reason to make a paragon and no desire that made me want to, even then (when they were stupidly overpowered all the time) I thought they sucked dont ask my why I just assumed (remember that). A few weeks back I had a spare slot so I thought I'd roll up a final char, Paragon or Monk (already had 7 monks) and the idea of watching red bars rise and fall didnt make me want to make one so I went with a Paragon. First levels my view was a ranged lame warrior, then I started to go pure shout/chants (Paragon spear builds are long range warriors I know) this is when I released that this is not crap it makes the game much easier (good or bad thing? You decide). Then I took him to Cantha and played through with full hench teams (no heroes) and as before it was stupidly easy. Rolling on to Guardian now, first mission I decided to do was grove (start with the hard right) team set up went along the lines of:

Paragon: Chant/Shout
2 hench monks
2 SV Eles Hero's
1 MM Hero
1 Warrior Hench
1 Ranger Hench

I didnt go into that mission expecting to do it with ease but well it was, reason why? Chanting and Shouting is a pressure relief, go into battle you can chant up, during during tricky parts stick 3 shouts up and its a huge boost to your team and you are litreally idiotic to not see this. Continuing with my guardian I decided to do one of the missions I have a deep hate for; Arborstone, my friend had a Paragon aswell who hes getting all titles for so we did it together with NO MONK<. 2 Paragons, 4 SF (), 1 Warrior, 1 MM. Possibly wasnt the greatest idea in history but the fact it was a walk in the park even in HM was suprising so I'll finish by saying that you can either love them or hate them but overall they dont care.



Gunna go do Glaya now and finish my cantha guardian.
Welcome to the party. It only took you months to figure out what everyone else knew in a matter of days. Gonna tell me the earth is round next?

Do the math.

Paragon + Overpowered = Paragons Overpowered

That's not logical thinking. That's retardation and not knowing what a common term means.

I'd prefer if anet brought back the req 8 gold drops rather than mediocre efforts like this. Part of the allure of the game was the chance of getting that rare perfect weapon, I don't see why they decided to ruin that.

Well I for one want to know the exact drop rates and guesses of when the sword will become "affordable" (ie, less than 100k).

I very much doubt this sword will ever reach the sub 100k status, i fully expect the ghostlys sword to remain very high end (200 ecto +)

More then that. UW is beyond the average PuG. And, the drop rate from these new chests doesn't seem to be that great.

Broken means paragons broke PvP balance and broke the game.

Look, whenever somebody says a new bit of power creep "breaks" the game, it doesn't mean that power creep doesn't work.

Its not our fault you don't know certain English eptimology. Expressions are never logical. "I'm dead tired" doesn't actually literally mean I'm deceased, even though that is what the word "dead" means.

Its nice to have something like this.

It is not "farmable" in the sense that you can do it under 10 minutes.
It is not solo-able (you wanna do all of UW by yourself?!? Ya right)
The drop rate is low.
Its a nice skin.
People want it.

This is GW, game of the lazy and cheap.

'We want this, and we want it now' is the mentality.

Hellgate London is good for "loot", people should go play that.

Well, it is a "game" after all...

I understand that some people want ultra-rare stuff that nobody else has...

But try to understand some of us don't care about how leet an item is, and just like something for the looks. And I don't think that's "wrong".

if you dont care how leet an item is, then you dont care if you dont have it or not? an item like this will never be cheap, so dont expect it to go below 100k anytime before GW2 launch

In Guild Wars, the term "broken" is also often used to describe something that is too good at doing what it is supposed to do, or in the case of Paragons, too good at doing what multiple professions are intended to do.

You think I care how leet an item is? you'd be wrong

Everything I use is pretty common. I like common skins. Wooden bucklers/Longswords/Accursed staffs etc

I'd only buy the Eternal to resell. Such things as this are left to those who want to look l33t. L33t3st thing I own (to use) is my fissure armor, and that is pretty common these days too.

You have to understand these items are good for the game. The UW has prob seen more groups willing to clear these last few days then in the last year, same goes for FoW.

By introducing the chests (and the monuments) Anet revived 2 dying areas.

yarly....I doubt anyone even had any incentive to actually clear fow/uw before. The only rewards being XP and the chance for ecto/shards and such.

its too bad theres 3 places to get to FoW/UW and you cant just simply group up in one single place.

I've never actually cleared the UW, never felt the need. Cleared FoW a few times. Mainly just down to boredom, and easy XP/skill points

LOL at the people saying this is the rarest item in Guild Wars....

Its inscribable. Enough said.

I am sure due to mass whining the drop rate will change to say something along the lines of Runic Blades, Colossal Scimitars etc.

It was a nice incentive to clear UW.

When it is a common drop there will be less incentive.

Maybe it will be made a normal UW drop....

Man, you guys are reading way to much into this "team build" Me and my guild just ran Ursan way, we figured if we can all get legendary Vanq with it, any HM mission with it, any HM dungeon with it, and constant DoA quad runs with it...then why not The UW clean out, we run them almost daily now since we found the Eternal Blade, hoping for another one. The run took us less than 2 hours, and no consumables were used, 6 bears 2 LoD infuse, GG. GL to you all, hope that we can get some more out there on the market, so far mine was the only one.

P.S. Me and a reaslly great guildie have made a build that is ran with 2 Ursan and 6 Heros, yes that is right you and a frend can now clean out all of UW in less that 3 hours. I am going to see if I can get the builds all together and round up, then I will post them.

and to Herb, your my hero, only sold it since it was inscribible, hope that they make it a uber rare reg drop, want a q8 15^50 inherent!!!!

Being inscription bascily means if people farm it enough it will become cheap as anything. The exeption are the ones that drop only from duncan and HOH. Which are only 3 weapons i can think of. Clearing UW isnt as hard as duncan so this will drop to about post nerf runic price imo.

Ok...I really think this topic has runs its full course now.

Just reading the last few pages, you wouldn't even know this is about the Eternal Blade.

Its been confirmed. Everyone got to rant about various off-topic things for 10 pages. We're done.
