Vis'kag the Bloodletter Stats in Classic
Vis'kag is an Epic one-handed sword with an item level of 74. It requires level 60 and is Bind on Pickup (BoP). The blade is suitable for both the main hand and off-hand for classes with the Swords skill. This allows you to choose a slot for it based on your build. Its tooltip in Classic contains five lines of stats:
- Damage 100–187
- Attack Speed 2.60
- DPS 55.2
- Chance on hit for 240 damage
- Durability 105
The Fatal Wound proc is Vis'kag's main strength. It deals 240 damage to the target on top of the base attack. The tooltip with 55.2 DPS does not account for these procs. That's why we believe that the sword gives your character more damage in a fight than the numbers suggest.
Onyxia Loot and Weekly Attempts
Your character joins our raid in Onyxia's Lair at every weekly reset. You won't have to assemble your own 40-player group. The drop rate for the BoP sword from Onyxia in Classic was around 4%. That's why the order for attempts comes with no guarantee. But your character receives priority on the sword without a roll against other players in the same run where Vis'kag appears in Onyxia loot.
Rogue BiS and Sword Classes
We see Vis'kag as a contender for the BiS sword for Rogues. This blade became a popular weapon for level 60 Rogues with the Hemorrhage talent from the Subtlety tree in Classic. The reason was its high damage and a swing speed of 2.60. Hemorrhage and Sinister Strike take their damage from the main-hand weapon. That's why a slow blade with high damage enhances both of your Rogue's abilities.
The second class for Vis'kag is the Warrior who uses swords in either the main hand or off-hand. Its “Unique” tag prevents him from equipping a second copy in the other hand. Heroic Strike and Whirlwind deal damage with the main-hand weapon. We recommend keeping the sword in this hand. The Fatal Wound proc gets more chances to trigger during a fight this way.
