Trivia[]
- This item likely refers to Bartuc, also known as the Warlord of Blood.
- Bartuc was said to be impervious to damage due to wearing a blood red suit of armor, the only weakness was his throat which was not properly protected. It is possible that this was the weapon that killed him.
- This weapon has a base attack speed of -30, making it as fast as a Phase Blade. All other classes will view its speed as Very Slow, which is moot, considering it is only usable for the Assassin.
- This item, along with Titan's Revenge, Herald of Zakarum, Jalal's Mane, Arreat's Face, The Oculus (Diablo II) and Homunculus (Diablo II), is a part of "Level 42 unique class item cycle", where each item provides +2 to class skills, +20 to two attributes and has required level 42.
