Allakhazam - Wurmslayer

Well i got a 45 warrior on Lanys and i used it and hit regurally in the 80-100s with it. There is ONE MAJOR PROBLEM with the WS though. Did anyone notice the fact that its a 1hs weapon and weighs 15.0? It is one of the biggest Stamina killers in the game.

Using what for a weapon? With a Wurm my 23rd level barb warrior hits between high thirtys and low sixties. Dual weilding it and a Cystalized Shadow long sword I'm having little trouble soloing hard blue mobs, and the stamina drain isn't a problem.

Also it eats your stamina in no time at all so either use it on a ranger or be in a group that can cast invigor on you cuz wt 15 is hvy for any weapon especially a 1hs

for some reason i thought i saw a ranged stat on the picure (40 range comes to mind).
about stamina: i have heard from a few sources if you get your stamina above 100 (or is it 105) that even if your sta bar is empty you dont suffer any ill effects...and sta items are cheap as **** too.
sure, its wt 15 for a slasher, but if you put another one in the ranged slot its not like its taking up stamina just sitting there. if you are a namby-pamby ranger then this may bother you having 15 extra weight but for the trolls and ogres this would be hardly noticeable for the extra str, ac, and magic resist.
i wouldnt mind using two on my iksar, one to slash with and one for ranged (if it indeed does go in ranged) for the stats.

i been using a wurmy from level 40-47, and i think its a very nice tool if used wisely. when i am not playing taunter/caster protector i use this along with stormfeather talons. the total damage ouput is very nice, better than dual yaks, and i dont pull the dang mob away from the warrior as much. if it looks like im gonna have to taunt alot, its yak/stormfeather talons. overall, i like my wurmy alot, even if it is a staminaslayer. eventually i will get me some faster weopons with a good delay.
so yes, wurmy even has a place in a rangers inventory, even if it is very slow. sometimes you wanna do damage without severe agro, and this weopon lets you do it. overall a pretty good weopon for the price, but certainly not something i will be using much past lvl 50
as with most tools, its what ya plan on doin with it that determines if its good or not.
i must agree with alot of you on the graphic, i dont like it much.

Hey everyone, I like the wurmslayer, like only a few 40+ weapons it has 15 weight - I don't know what its like at lvl 50 but when I'm in a good sarnak group (plz don't flame me for bein' a "frickin' n00b") my stamina goes down quite a lot using a 2.5 weight weapon and a 6.5 weight weapon!! so if you're in a loooong fight your best bet would be a skyfire or something lighter, although like the one dude, invigor can fix the stamina problems but its a pain to cast while you're fightin' - if these uber-mobs have as many HPs as they supposedly have then I don't wanna run outta stamina while tanking one!

41 Ranger and just quested one of these, i must say its nice, with my str at 166 im able to hit over 100 with it. Using SSOY in offhand and Call of Sky i can taunt pretty well when needed. Stamina is a factor, but I have invigor so no worries. So far im pleased with this weapon and recommend it to anyone that wants one. For those who dont want it, dont get it. Just my 2cps. Latuh

s the Wurmslayer better than a Sword of Skyfire?I think not. Sword of Skyfire is 10/22 and Procs Rain of Fire, doesn't aaadd STR but adds HP, ColdSV and CHA(Cause you know we melee types be lovin the honeys!) but leaving the proc out of the picture, it still does more DPM than wurmslayer, no matter what haste items or STR you have, and it won't drain your stamina. And of course, as a Ranger i can't have a 15 stone wep if I don't need it! I tried many lvls, and configurations, but Skyfire ALWAYS came out on top (In Copeland's). At lvl 50 with a cloak of flames, the Wurmslayer ALMOST equaled the Skyfire, but not quite ;-)

The only problem with this thing is it wieghs a ton, I have to keep bugging clerics or druid or bards for stamina if im gonna be pulling.

A-HA! You neglected to realize it STILL weighs 15 for the calculation of fatigue. I have foiled your nefarious plan.

It actually weighs 15 smarty..
whatever strength is added from the sword, it still WEIGHS 15.. and it takes more stamina per swing than another sword...
being overweight is not the issue... its the fact that it drains sta much faster...
and we all laughed when we saw that "Invigor" was one of the effects on almost every set of kunark armor..

Actually, that's not true, there are more stamina-draining weaps out there, the silverswift blade, a ranger only 2HS weights 10 stones and has a delay of 24... Do your maths.

It sounds like it is based off number of swings and weight of weapon.

So if you are hasted, you will drain more. If your weapon is heavier, it will drain more.

These posts don't help with *how* much the weight should factor (but it sounds like its a lot based off these posts). Looking for some evidence on how much it should drain.

Clerics talk about how in prolonged fights or chain pull groups, it was necessary to have Invigor up to keep melee going. None of them elaborate on exactly what happens when you run out of stamina though :/.
