This sword dropped as part of the loot for some guy while he was in Mechanar. Very awesome looking sword!
Name: Fang of the Leviathan
Type: Epic Main-hand Sword
Damage/Speed: 23-125 / 1.80 (41.3 DPS)
Abilities:
- Right now: +13 Stamina, +13 Intellect, +14 spell crit, and +187 spell damage and healing
- After 2.1:
+28 Stamina, +19 Intellect, +20 spell crit, and a whopping +209 spell
damage and healing, which makes this currently the highest +spell
damage weapon in the entire game. Careful, you got a little drool on
you there.
- Those stats are, of course subject to change,
but no matter what, this is one of the nicest caster blades in the
game. There are a few floating around with more spell crit (and one BoE Epic
with a really nice proc on it), but for pure +damage, this is probably
the one you should be dreaming about. Until we see what comes out of
the Black Temple, anyway.
How to Get It: All you've got to do is kill Leotheras the Blind,
a demon hunter boss in Serpentshrine Caverns. The fight apparently
isn't that tough if you're already raiding at that level, but it does
have some cool elements to
it--
the boss splits into his human and demon forms at 15%, and throughout
the fight, his demon half will summon a few raid members' "inner
demons." Those are dopplegangers that you have to fight and kill before
the boss flips back to human, otherwise those raiders become mind
controlled for 10 minutes. Wacky stuff, but a few guilds are rolling
through there now, and more all the time.
Anyway, down Leo, and there's about a 15% chance this'll drop for you.
Getting Rid of It: Sells to vendors for 12g 34s 13c. Disenchants (probably-- obviously no one has gotten rid of it yet) into a Void Crystal.
