Of all the High Warlord melee weapons, this one has the fastest speed. The DPS is .1 lower than he rest of the one-hand High Warlord weapons (with the exception of the dagger), but classes using this with a talent like Flurry (increases haste for a short time when you crit) would wind up having Flurry active more often, which means more DPS overall.
One wsg could go from simply a few honor to as many as u want. I think it depends on farming kills. On arthas some of the alliance and horde have decided to just kill each other for 30mins to a hour in wsg earning a lot of honor.
The graphics on this are much better than any of the alliance weapons, in my opinion. Horde weapons are amazing, the graphics are top notch; and yes, I would love to get this for my rogue. Only downfall is the attack on it, the dps is good, but could still be beat, and the speed is probably the best you're gonna get for sometime.
Due to its fast speed, this sword is the best offhand sword for a combat rogue to use while leveling through Outland. There are very few fast one-handed swords found in Outland instances (the only one is the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=25952 Scimitar of the Nexus-Stalkers ). PvP at level 57-59 for this sword and it'll last you well into 70 until you can get the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=28189 Latro's Shifting Sword or https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=34672 Inuuro's Blade .
If you are a rogue and you use a dagger in your main hand, then this sword is a better choice for your off hand instead of the high warlords blade. Even know the High Warlords blade give is .1 more dps, its better to go for the faster weapon because it will make poisons much more effective covering the .1 dps and alot extra.
Since at least patch 4.3 ( haven't checked in a while) this sword tint has been changend from yellow to red, being now an exact copy of https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=16345"">(Item #16345)
