Hmm. Hard to believe, seems early reports of the epic were pretty bad:

The Warrior Particle Weapon has been found (see <http://eq.castersrealm.com/> for the stats, which suck. The two 1h slashers have delay of 24, which makes them utterly useless in group play, as the warrior will NOT be able to taunt mobs away from the other players in the group. The 2h slasher is the best 2h slasher in the game, but that doesn't matter because 2h slash is irrelevant in group play.
The reactions have been amusing. All the lower-level warriors are drooling over the stats, and all the warriors high enough to do the quest are majorly POed because they understand the stats make the weapon useless.

I'm just starting to think hate generation worked very differently back then -- their big complaint was the 24 delay..
