Still better than a life blood paperweight 
Make it depend on corruption.
The more corruption you have the faster it heals.
Obviously no corruption, no heal. Max corruption, very fast heal but very little health. Maybe could increase dmg as well⦠Dunno.
Thralls donāt get corruption so pointless to equip.
This could even be classified as sorcery.
Should change the name to Red Motherās Toothpick. About all itās good for currently.

A lot of good people have gone away. We lost a Community Manager ā in effect, from a battalion standpoint ā we lost a Company Commander. Like, a Captain, who oversaw a bunch of platoons, daily witnessing DORs (drops on request) from long-standing members. Simultaneously weāve had a transfusion of new blood, swept in by a firey video about a Game Launcher.
Some players are bloodied at this point. Others are just plain staying away. I know, because I have friends who wonāt even speak of the Forums in Steam chat. Itās been a long fight, with only ad hoc leadership from people of competing viewpoints who want the best for the game. Crom there has every right to be angry about the movement system; it crippled him for almost a month after Mounts. Can you imagine receiving Mounts, and then not being able to play? I gotta hand it to him, through it all Cromās done a great job, and nobody asked him.
Itās worth a watch, the whole clip, but Iāve isolated a chunk of a classic (but very incorrect now) Paul Newman flick. Ever since college Iāve pulled this quote out at times like this:
Daveās a mess.

I would still really like to see these two weapons readjusted back upwards. If the Sword of Crom was readjusted back upwards nowadays, it would probably be on steroids when wielded by a Thrall with high Strength values. This would probably result in 1-2 shot kills for most PvPers. The Lifeblood Spear on the other hand desperately need rebalancing. I have come to accept other peoples arguments that it was too overpowered in its original state, especially when people could give 2 or 3 of them to thralls and the healing effect would stack. But nonetheless, to go from 5hp per sec down to 1 hp every 5 sec is absurd. It was a knee-jerk reaction, and overkill of the highest order. I still believe a happy medium can be reached; say 1-2 hp a sec. Or give it a hit based vampiric drain effect. Because as it stands now, a bowl of Gruel has better healing than this āLegendary Weaponā.
The funny thing is that a solution has existed all along. I pleaded with Funcom on numerous occasions to instead make these weapons unusable by thralls. If the SoC was restored to its original values and the LBS to 1-2 hp/sec, and made them unusable by thralls, they could actually serve as interesting mechanics for players, as opposed to items people give to NPCs in order to use them as exploits.
It is obvious that this issue is not going away. Time to act upon this issue.

Hell no, no legendary weapon should be that powerful, they need a buff though. Imo, legendaries should only work slightly better than crafted weapons.
10 - 15% Lifesteal would be a nice mechanic.
That was actually my initial impression of the spear when I first saw it. āHmm, itās gonna have some sort of lifesteal ⦠oh my HP is now negative!ā (it was bugged when it was released, since it was messing with your HP number in a different way)

I agree with you. I visualised it functioning in a similar fashion to the Dark Brotherhoods āBlade of Woeā in Skyrim. This would also mean that one would have to use it ofensively to derive a benefit from it, as opposed to remaining stationary or running away while holding it.
The Sword of Crom could even be buffed to say around 150 if it were made unusable by thralls. It could make for an interesting finishing mechanic for clearly wounded opponents. Knowing that they get one shot; if the attacker lands the blow its death for the defender, but if they miss, the attacker has now stamed out, leaving them vulnerable.
This is what I mean, these two weapons both have so much potential to provide interesting mechanics for players, if we could remove the way thralls have used them from the equation.

If it werent for the extra text, this would almost qualify as a classic necropost with āI agreeā⦠but this thread hadnt quite assumed room temperature⦠
Lifeblood Spear is 1 Healh Point every 5 Seconds, |°°°.°°°|
Please Buff the Spear maybe not to the Original, but 1 Health Point every 1 Second will be Fair

Ye olde āSuggested Topicsā strikes again.
Wow, now thatās is a proper necro

I agree The Sword of Crom should go back, not sure about the lifeblood spear as I havenāt kept them since the first version when they had a different animation move set. Speaking of ( To any devās that may be reading thisā¦), Iām just wondering if there is any possible way to bring back the original spearās animation as part of its attack sequence, and make it part of its heavy combo while the obvious straight stab can be its default attack, or switch it with the kick or something, and add glaives? You have the Naginata but that is the only thing close to a glaive really, which also made more sense with the original animation than just stabbing. This would bring a lot more viability of them and give people a reason to use them more than just a horse weapon, If they even do that. Everyone on my server that Ive seen and interacted with, used no spears. I just think the fact that they are limited to the single animation is pretty bad and works against it. In that matter, why donāt you offer at least one or two more combo sets with all weapon types??
An exile can dream I supposeā¦
