Does anyone use this? And do you use it in T3?

T2 sword has much better stats!!! I do not know any tanks that use it regularly unless it is all they have. If you use it, can you tell me when and why...I am still wonderring about its real benefits!...No Hate and no other major buffs...make it somewhat silly if you have the T1 or T2 weapons, IMO.

Yes it will likely generate more damage than a T1 and you get the potential armor buff from the diamond...but really? why bother with hard-mode on Levi?

For classes besides guardians, say.... barbarians?

For PvP. why bother with pve for pve.

Nope, HoX's and maybe DT's only pretty much. Dual wielders can benefit from one in the main hand I spose, but could get better stats instead of a little base DPS increase

That nope to me? Pretty sure it is the best weapon in pvp for any class that can use it. Only one I am iffy on is hox, but thy could put a bel's mirth gem in it, which is what dt's can do.
The tier 3 crafted weapons are better now though, so I would save shards for that.

Only time i use mine atm is in my protection set as its full of prot gems. Use the T2 sword any other time.

Nah was to the op, I never took one for my guard. Only reason I said those 2 classes was because of the gems. Do you think its best for PVP just because of the damage? Because the stats are rather generic and you do lost a lot. I guess I would agree, but for PVE it is no bueno.

I was just wonderring if I was missing something...Thanks! You all pretty much sum it up for me!

I think if Funcom was forward looking, maybe add some hate (at least that of the T1 sword), strength (at least that of the T1 sword), and some missing regens/taps(Stam,Health,Mana) would make it more desirable!!! After all it is somewhat difficult to get all the necessary things to get it...as well as running Levi in hard mode...which unless you are UBL Meridian likely RA et. al. it would make it more desireable! The drop variability for T2 guard swords makes that weapon somewhat difficult to get but then again you have 3 bosses each week to try for it!!!

IMO, I think they should be making these kind of weapons/constucts the most highly prized in the game...so there should be some PvE value other than "well I only have a blue sword or the garg sword so I use the Ibis cuz it is better"

ADVOCATE - maybe bring this up again...I am sure it is not a new wish!

Problem is, it's not a Guardian sword. Barbs and Carnage Conqs wouldn't be too happy if it had +Hate added to it.

For a +Prot gear set it's teh s3x though.

Ok I yield. I would settle for class based construct...I understand that is coming...but were the Levi hard mode swords really for barbs, Hoxs, dps Conqs/DTs?

come on really?

I still arrive at...why should we do hard mode? for Melee DPS? I would think DPS Conqs would want dual T2s with the hate debuff!!! Ditto for HoX...T2 2h FTW!

Ok settle for Strength and other taps/buffs...a hate gen would be huge for tanks...Conqs, DTs, and Guards!!! Bottom line, it seems like a nice to have at this point, IMO. It should be a Need to Have!!! After all isn't this game about end game content(PvE)/PvP/awesome graphics etc.?

Well DPS is determined by main hand damage, you would definitely want on in your offhand - but you shold have higher DPS with an IBIS i believe - lose some sweet stats though your right
