Item updated.

While a survival specced hunter could benefit from this set, a rogue or warrior is much better suited for them. There are better items for all three as a matter of fact, but for a hunter to roll need on these when a rogue or warrior needs them also is not wrong but in most cases will be considered a crime.

I'm a combat spec rogue I want the set but nonetheless I'ts a set for rogues, warriors and hunters, period it sucks have to roll with everyone but such is life thats like saying I have better attack power than some other rogue or warrior than I should get it first duh fuce it it's for them rogues warriors and hunter specially a survival hunter who is a very good melee fighter, I've seen a hunter win a melee fight with a warrior in BG, survival spec with both dal rend, not the best melee fighter but still very good, after all a combat spec rogue is much better melee fighter than a fury warrior ( barely but better ) and the warriors roll on it too

I hate those goddamn hunters that win the roll too but there's nothing we can do...

Not saying it should be hunter prio only, but it should also be hunter prio.
Hunters (before BC release at least) gain 2 attack power from 1 point of agility. More attack power = more damage ranged, which is our main source of damage. To have the both swords would give us: 50 attack power, 1% crit (from a ranged point of view). Slap 2*+15 Agi enchants on the weapons and we get: 30 Agi (60 ap) 50 ap, 1% crit. Now compare that to 2*Bone Slicing Hatchets with 15 agility enchants on them, and put them up against eachother.

Bone Slicing Hatchet: 13+13+15+15 = 56 Agi (112 AP, and a little crit)
Dal'Rend Set: 30 Agi/60 AP, 50 AP (110 AP, with around 0.5% more crit)

So far Dal'Rends is winning by a small amount, but wait.
While not in instances most hunter spends quite alot of time in melee (unless you're a bot), and here weapon damage helps us quite alot. (wont do the offhand damage)

Bone Slicing Hatchet: 48-90 damage at 1.70 speed (40.6 dps)
Dal'rend Main hand: 81-151 damage at 2.80 speed (41.4 dps)

I prefer higher damage slow weapons on hunter, since i mainly engage melee to get a Raptor+Wing Clip in, and then move back to ranged. Since Raptor Strike is dependant on weapon speed, and we get this in first it will be at same speed no matter what weapon speed (seeing we press the button before we move in), and Wing Clip is instant so speed doesn't matter at all here. This means quite alot more damage the time we spend melee, so these weapons are (imo) quite alot better on a hunter than Bone Slicing Hatchet.

Ofcourse if a rogue/fury warrior has really crappy weapons a hunter should pass it too them, but calling it warrior/rogue priority is just plain wrong imo. You "steal" our ranged weapons only for stats, and pulling once and a while (warriors only). We at least engage melee with weapons and put them to use, rather than just have them sitting there for stats.

- Just my thoughts..

This wepon is most deffinantley a fury warriors or combat spec rogue. My rogue has both he does crazzy dps, awesome in pvp.

Just got em both in one drop for my warrior.

Didnt even want em really but no one else could use em, so I took em both.

Might give these a try with a fury build.

i was just wondering, i`m a combat rogue sword spec and isn`t it better to get Assasination Blade for offhand and dal'rend for MH?u get 2% crit with both swords and AB is also quite fast...i was just wondering, am i right or should i go farm the offhand Dal'rends sword?

... a sword with +7 defense skill surely this needs to go straight into the hands of the tank ?

Yea it's a fairly nice weapon to have if your a Fury Specd War, or a Sword specd rogue, but it is REALLY hard to obtain if your going on a Rend Run, because it fills with Wars and Rogues, close to instantly.

Bah... I've been on about 20 runs and it's dropped twice... The first time, some sh*tty 58 rogue beat me and a warrior for it... the lamest thing about it is he was terrible... died at least 10 times, Leeroyed the eggs... pulled the Anvil boss... and was #6 on the damage meter... only beating our secondary tank ( who was a druid... ) Bah I'm over that...

And the second time, the leader of the run, a warrior who wasn't fury specd, turned on ML and ninjad IT, and EVERYTHING ELSE...

Believe we were all pissed...

So now, I'm using a Lifestealing Krol ( occasionally swapping out for the Lifestealing Dal'Rend's Sacred Charge ) and a friggin Firey Hanzo Sword ( ... I hate this friggin sword... )

Both the 2 Dal Rend swords dropped in the same run for my group :)

As no one needed them I was allowed to take them both. Quite nice!

I want these for my hunter, not to bad of stats if i had both peices :)

This sword set is for warriors and rogues. If I ever saw a hunter in my group roll a need on it I would kick him out of group because there is so much better weapons for them.

just got this yesterday easy as pie won with a 98 hits pertty good i like it :)

This sword combo is awsome for hunters. 50 atk power 1% crit chance, Slap agility 15 on both those suckers and you have yourself one of the best combos.!

Got it on my first run to. As if you care. Had
t(h)rash blade before. So it was kinda of an upgrade. Got blademaster leggings and felhide cap the same day. Friday the 13th actually. -_- The other rollers got unlucky I guess

LOLOL MELEE HUNTERS.

Sorry, I had to get that out. Melee hunters place in only one location on the damage meters: directly above the healers.

hunter weapon

got it first UBRS run :) me happy!

@#%^IN SWEET!!!!!! i want for my rogue

500 means NO level

onyxia = 500
rend = 500

onyxia = 40 people
rend = 10-15 people

lv 500 is blizzs way of telling u he is a boss HEADS UP. if u cant see the mobs lv by 53, chances are it is a boss. lv 500 means special attacks and the like.
