Obsidian Shard (and the Obsidian Flamberge) both have the "Obsidian Shatter"
effect.

The Obsidian Shatter Effect has these properties:
1) DD 30 DMG
2) DEBUFF: -10 AC for approximately 6 heartbeats (Tics)

It's not a DoT, but it is a Debuff. Therefore you will get the message that
it wore off.

Hope this helps

Subject: [eqbards] Shard procs

> Saturday night, my guild held a promo/FFA event for our members and
recruits in the Arena (the zone). All folks engaging in the event were told
to un-mem any DoT spells/songs, and leave any weapons that proc DoT's either
in the bank, or unequipped. Seeing as I was the organizer, I left my
beloved Kisch in the bank (-=sigh!=-) and whooped out the ol' Obsidian
Shard. The Shard (from all I have read is SUPPOSEDLY a simple 30pt DD proc.
right? Well, imagine my suprise when a few ticks (not sure hopw many) after
it procs, I get the old "The Obsidian Shatter effect has worn off" message.
Question: Was there an update to this weapon that I missed? (haven't used
it in over a month)
> btw... No matter what Abashi says, Necro and Bard fears STILL work in the
Arena's PvP zone, and in a Duel(he even replied to a post of mine about it
saying they disabled it).
