Anyone tried the event reward Paladin sword?

Just curious if anyone has given this thing a spin? Neat graphic, seems to have an interesting set of mods, thought I might get one on Siege and use it as my Siege Bless. Love to hear what your experience has been if you used it.

Double axe: machine gun whirlwinds
Paladin sword: shotgun whirlwinds

The paladin sword has a 2 secs delay, which takes forever. It is good in some situations, e.g. when you are swarmed by a lot of non-casting not-life threatening mobs with high hps. If there are a lot of casters or hard hitting mobs around you, you cannot leech life back fast enough.

That having said, you can use it in the first two or three waves of the easy champ spawns. It only costs 50 turn-in points and you can powder it back to full durability, so why not get it.

the sword is useless. swings too slow, can't do anything a double axe can't do and definitely not worth a Siege bless. Learn to play a cheap Siege sampire and laugh about anyone who wasted turn ins to claim that sword. my 2 cents

i have been running a cheap sampire on siege for years max. as you probably know. I just thought it was an interesting item bc we havent really had any nice items with that graphic and it had WW as a special, I wondered what people's experience had been with it. have you ever tried doing something bc it was fun instead of bc it was efficient?

Same here. You see tamers doing spawns with their pet even though their sampire could do the job in half the amount of time. It is about trying out a new "toy". So as I posted above, you can do easy spawns with it but need a bit more time because the 2nd weapon special sucks and because it only swings at min 2 secs. In terms of "efficiency": you don't die if you use it in the above-mentioned scenarios, and in terms of fun, it a nice distraction.

I do not play siege, but you need at least 180 stamina to swing it at 2.0 secs, more if you get cursed (max SSI is already on the weapon). I am not sure how easy it is to get such a suit on siege.
