Stoneslayer

What changed in Forever.

The Classic comparison grants 10 increased damage for eight seconds on a proc. Forever replaces that with direct Physical damage and a bonus against specifically named enemy groups.

What makes it special.

Its hit effect deals 196 Physical damage, tripled against Earth Elementals, Golems and Titan-forged.

Requirements

Level 44; two-handed sword, 3.90 speed. Requires two-handed sword proficiency. The additional effect triggers randomly on hits.

Binding

Binds on pickup.

How to obtain it.

The current Forever tooltip identifies Archaedas in Uldaman as the source. Plan a route to the final boss and agree on weapon needs before the encounter. A drop is not guaranteed each visit.

Put your find to use.

1. 1

   Join an Uldaman group planning to reach Archaedas. The boss link opens our map and route guide.

2. 2

   Equip the sword and compare it with your current weapon on eligible enemies. 196 × 3 gives a nominal 588 damage before actual damage resolution.

3. 3

   Consider speed, weapon damage and your playstyle too. The special effect alone does not establish a universal best-in-slot choice.

Check these limits first.

• The triple bonus applies to the proc, not every normal attack or ability.
• A stone-like appearance does not establish eligibility. Not every elemental is an Earth Elemental.
• The tooltip does not establish a current proc rate or guaranteed damage per minute. Armor and combat rules may affect the damage actually displayed.

Keep it, try it or pass?

An interesting find for two-handed melee characters fighting eligible enemies. Keep it for comparison rather than relying on old Classic proc reviews. Outside the named groups, its special bonus is less relevant.
