New Silithus Mount

[nobbie]

From the World Of War news page:



This mount shall be usable in Ahn'Quiraj only.

Some more Quiraj stuff *ouch!*

[MissileToad]

That's correct sir. 100% speed bug mounts - only usable in AQ - drop in there with frequency. Their intention is to speed you through the massive tunnels that compose the instance.


... 60dps hybrid stats 1h axe, sqeeeeeee! My orc shaman-ometer just exploded :P.

[Chesspiece_face]

130.7dps? on a one hand mace? druid equip bonus but not limited to druids? UHHHHHH. wow.

Wha-? A class-specific set that might actually be useful for Shadow priests?!?

SAY IT ISN'T SO, BLIZZARD!

Seriously though, it's about damn time. Some of the other items (the Ruling Wand of Vek'nilash, the Bracelets of Royal Redemption, and the Cloak of Clarity) are certainly droolworthy. That cloak would be a very blatant replacement for my Hide of the Wild, too. +40 healing, +to all 3 caster stats, *AND* 8 mana/5 sec? I like it!

[Zippyy]

Is it just me, or do the Doomcaller and Unspoken Names warlock sets trounce current Tier 1 and 2 sets?

Are these new instances going to be harder than BWL? Or does the loot just seem better to me?

New ranks of a ton of important spells? Rank 10 Shadow Bolt? Drool.

[WildFire]

The mounts are all on page 6.

There's a Legendary (Orange) one that seems to be useable outside AQ. At least the tooltip does not specifically say it's restricted to AQ.

That said, for a Legendary, I'd have expected it to move at an even faster speed than epics.

Yes, which is what amuses me a little. Folks are looking at the loot, and forgetting that the 40 man raid is supposed to be the next big dungeon after BWL. The items from it are now known as the "tier 3" set. I'm not sure if Blizz has come out and said this, but I've heard it bandied about, and it makes sense to me.

The 20 man AQ is supposed to be MC difficulty...for 20 people. For those in BWL gear or better, it probably won't be that rough, though for "us", I think it'll be a challenge. But witih nice rewards. ;)

[WildFire]

Inspoken Names, Vaulted Secrets and all the other weapons+back+jewellery sets seems to be the AQ equivalent of the ZG class sets. I don't know if they can be considered as belonging to a Tier.

But yes, Doomcaller is pretty much Tier 3. Can't seem to find the mage equivalent :unsure:

It's gotta be a bug, it simply has to be. If its not ... just, wow. Fire the whole itemization team.

yeah that's what i said. this item would become the best item in the game the second the patch hits. My Main being a paladin wouldn't care at all about having the druid equip bonus on there. hell take it off and it's still the best item in the game. All the bonus of a two hand weapon while still using a shield?! YES PLEASE.

... makes Thunderfury's base DPS look piddly. Of course, Thunderfury procs ~30% which translates to over 47 DPS just from Thunderfury proccing off melee attacks. There's claims on the test server that it's been nerfed though, so that it can only proc off regular/skill attacks, instead of other procs. Still shady on the whole details of that.

[oldmandennis]

Looking at the names of those weapons and the way they are aimed, my best guess is that they are class quest rewards.

A druid in caster meleeing with that = still not intimidating

If a warrior or rogue can obtain that mace.....
/gquit
fequit

but I really don't think that will happen. It is either restricted to druids or a typo.

Course, I haven't been right that often lately.

And the thing that makes Thunderfury absolutly godly is the -25% attack speed that works on nearly all bosses(or so I've heard). The rogues that have it do so because when the bindings first started dropping, nobody knew what they were for.

Right, that's why Rogues absolutely destroy the damage charts with Thunderfury equipped :blink:

That's also why one guild has it with 1 Warrior and 2 Rogues ...

Of course, as I said, people are claiming the proc has been nerfed. Meaning you get the benefit of the attack speed debuff less often.

[Quark]

Sure enough ...

The rather high DPS on the Blessed Qiraj War Hammer is a bug. It'll come down to something normal before the patch goes live.

Actually, from what Blizzard has said, A'Q 40 is s'posed to be about on par with BWL with the end boss being harder than Nefarion, but, the early Bosses in A'Q should be doable by people that have run MC like us (basically the early bosses are on par with MC bosses).

My understanding is that it's also a druid-only quest reward item.

I've heard in the forums that any caster (at least, if not everybody) can get the quest. Someone stated a priest had gotten the quest. I think it's safe to say we should take what people are saying with a grain of salt until all the details are known.

[ima_nerd]

If it did have 130 DPS ... I'd fire up my Inner Fire, get some melee stat gear and go pound stuff :D
