heh... yeah that 25 mana set my roflcopter off... thing flew way high... but being a programmer myself... yes, we do that from time to time... :oP
Would be nice if they dropped the mana (I read below that they did) and added a backstab mod on it instead.
Just to give a little insight from my own experiences with this dagger, the proc rate is semi dependable on snaring. I certainly wouldn't *count* on it, but it is nice in a pinch. To elaborate;
Your own personal dexterity is going to have some effect on this, so mileage will vary, but with my own dexterity being at 186 I tend to proc (just to give a rough ratio) every third mob. Of course the RNG (random number generator) likely controls this for the most part, again being aided by the dex rating, but if you're without a snare class in your group this does serve well.
I have had a bit of an issue with the proc actually landing/sticking on red cons, whereas I've never experienced a resist on blues/whites and rarely yellows, so I presume it does a resist check just as if you were actually a finger wiggling class casting the spell - but that's purely speculation on my part. You'd think out of all the years of playing, I'd know these things with certainty, but que sera sera... :)
So there ya go. Just thought I'd try and give a touch of insight on the proc rate and dependibility from my own experiences.
Best regards,
Jangos

The darkness line of spells from Necromancers and Shadowknights tend to be resisted more than any of their other DOTs. Most necromancers rarely cast anything other than Clinging Darkness and Engulfing Darkness, the first 2 versions of the spell. After that, they just take too much time and mana just to have them resisted. But in a dagger, Dooming Darkness is an awesome effect. You don't have the time and mana issue that goes with casting the spells.

Woot Got this just 20 minutes ago.. They need to change the graphic on it though....
then they would have to change the graphic on all of the other fabled items. The point of the fabled items is to give you items that back in the day were considered some of the best and make them usefull again today in celebration of the 5th year of eq why would they change the old school look of them?

Becasue the graphic is the same as a rusty Dagger 8)...

Sad story: my cleric main and a friend's 65 ranger killed fabled assassin with help from a 65 warrior that we picked up. Before i could get my twink there to loot the dagger some jerk rogue snuck in and took it. =-(
I hope i never find out who for their sake......

1) that's what you get for twinking with an item your alt could never get lol
2) he IS a rogue, stealing is his business...
3) how could you not have his name when all you have to do is /who?

1) True, that's what i get.
2) Right again.
3) Have an idea who did it, just waiting for him to log back on to confirm my suspicions.

That is really funny Sony. A Rogue only dagger that comes packed with the ever needed 25 mana. Good one :)

The mana has been removed as of 3/23/04. I think the mana can be attributed to a "doh moment" on the part of the Devs. ;)
Seems that most items that have both HP and Mana have Endurance tagged on, the amount same as the plus to Mana. I'd attribute the Mana here to laziness in programming on the part of the programmers who are obviously applying stats via Find&Replace.
That being said, I'd still like to get one of these for my rogue's offhand...
...and as of this time, it IS in my offhand. Still hasn't been nerfed for a required/recommended level. For a brave (or, perhaps, foolhardy) young rogue, this is the ultimate twink item. Just sneak/hide down to LGuk, beg the guys camping the Frenzied to pull the assassin for you, and loot up. I can only imagine the joy I would have had when I got Backstab at Lv10 and had a piercer like this in hand.

Heres a thought , What if , since it has a spell on it , that it needs the mana on the item to cast the spell effect , from a programers point of veiw... Maybe ....
