I almost feel dirty for saying it but this is an awesome hunter weapon.
okay for you people who say it's not a hunter weapon bite me if it were a warrior weapon it would have stam i hate how people say weapons like this arent for hunters
Got our second drop of this tonight from the trash pack of 5-6 blood elves just before brutallus.
After missing the 1st drop of this on the wednesday due to my account expiring (a pala won on a roll) I was very pleased to see it drop again so soon :) Glad to be part of a sensible guild.... as soon as this dropped there was no arguing/debate over who should get it. All I heard was "Grats Amaryliss". The fact our 2 dps warriors have 1 or both warglaives kind of rule them out of going after this when it's clearly so good for a hunter. To round of a good night we killed Brutallus about 30 mins later. He was on 2% at the enrage and then started 1 shotting everyone but we managed to finish him off.... had about 3 dps left at the end (me being 1 of them) and most of the healers. Yes I know half this is off topic :)
Yea I would have to say this is one of those drops where hunters have first rights then ret pallies because their dps suck ass so bad they need it.....but yea this is a hunter wep no doubt.....can't wait to get it on mine..... This post is faded because it has a negative score.
Lolz, like I tpyed, as far as I know it's got the most dps in the whole game.
There's no way it's a pure hunter weapon even though IT DOES have great stats for a hunter. I think it was designed for MORE than one class, that's right, it's a weapon that many classes can use- warrior, paladin, hunter, yeah a couple of classes can use it. So, it's got a lot of dps, great stats, and basically what any dps person would want, agi attack power etc. 140 dps... It's designed for multiple classes and UNLESS all of your warriors and paladins have cataclysms edge, since you could argue that they're equal in dps though they arne't, I don't think that this is necessarily JUST for hunters, since atm it's got the BEST STATS IN THE GAME!!!!! That being said, I am a ret paladin and go for 3.8 or so speeds to get my max damage and therefore dps so I don't care too much, just the fact that it's not a pure hunter weapon, no matter how good it is for hunter. still it is amazing, holy hell you can get like 250 ap and like 2% crit from this probably the best there is O.o This post is faded because it has a negative score.
This was totally designed for hunters...atk pwr + haste rating + agi = HUNTER. You are right that it is very good for warriors and ret pallys but it should be no question that hunters get this first. This post is faded because it has a negative score.
dont know if anyone else noticed.. but it has a 140dps! :O
i was thinking of the stats first until i saw the weapon dps! :o sick.
Wow ok...
First off I just had to make a damn account just for this fucking post... Ok first off, "okay for you people who say it's not a hunter weapon bite me if it were a warrior weapon it would have stam i hate how people say weapons like this arent for hunters " someone said that... HOW FUCKING RTARDED CAN YOU BE.. Stamina? No, if this was a warrior wep they would cut the agi in half and make the rest str.. for a DPS weapon.. 1 str = 2 AP Second off.. If you even try to argue that this isnt a hunter weapon... You've gotta be an idiot, a noob, a newb ^-^, or someone just trying to piss people off.. All of the above work as well.. EDIT: lol oops yea the DPS is nice.. but the extra DPS isnt worth the loss in stats... Yes you get some nice crit... But if you crit with a heavy ass MS.. You may pull agro. Personally http://thottbot.com/i30902 is more of a warrior weapon for me.. nice ass 150 AP 165 with kings on... Not to mention the sexy ass 335 armor ignore.. hmmm nuhmy. BTW: I am aware alot of people will be calling me a hippocrite about the stam on this sword... but IDK... Yes It pwns for PvP.. but also.. One other thing I just remembered... sword spec.. CoH for extra strike... or pole-axe [dont bitch about that.. that is the real name.. polearm-axe] spec... 5% cit.. + that massive agility. alot of crit.. alot more threat... Ouch.. Die from too much critting, have to worry about threat alot.... Or just take my advice.. get the sword.. the extra strikes are nice. This post is faded because it has a negative score.
fuck you guys are so dumb!!!
This is a MAGE weapon all the way no joke
Hunter Weapon. norly this time.
just to correct what that other guy says STR gives Melee AP about 1STR=2 AP Agility just gives AP(just about the same i think agil is 1AGI=1.5? not sure exactly its roughly the same) so theres not much difference other then that Agility makes u attack afster as well, very slightly tho. its a mega hunter weapon no doubt, anyone who says differently should delete whatever character they have they think it would be better for This post is faded because it has a negative score.
Best hunter weapon in game atm.
But why do i have a srange feeling when i look at the stats? Damn, what's the heck's wrong with its damage? 140.4 DPS for hunter who doesn't do melee? How about other classes and the raid utility of this baby? Let's take an example of retribution pally with BoK and Divine strength talents with Cataclism's Edge and compare it with Shivering Felspine in terms of pure DPS contribution from stats (i took an example of one of the classic weapons for retribution. it has the same speed too, so it's easier to compare): Cataclism's Edge 138 DPS 75 str +10% from Divine strength +10% from BoK means +21% str combined means 90.75 str, let's say 91 91 str=182 ap 14 ap=1 DPS 182/14=13 138+13=151 151 DPS from Cataclism's Edge. 335 armor ignore is useless against heavy armored targets and have limited contribution unless it's stacked with other pieces of gear and a warrior is keeping stacked sunder armor against a cloth wearer. Shivering Felspine: 140.4 DPS 52 agi 53 haste 120 ap yellow socket bonus: 5 ap let's say: Inscribed Pyrestone with 5 str and 5 crit (6 str with talents=12 ap) total ap: 120+5+12=137 137/14=9.78 let's say 9.8 140.4+9.8=150.2 150.2 DPS is 0.8 less than Cataclism Edge, BUT!!! Crit: Pallys need 35 agi for 1% crit at lvl 70, means 52/35=1.48 % crit +5/22.1 from gem=1.7% crit (the same as Torch of the damned) Haste: 53 haste rating. Well about haste i'm not really sure. Different sourses give me different info about speed and dps modifications. It's either 5% dps increase or 3.2% dps increase. So just pick the one that you judge correct. Anyway, it's either 157.7 or 155 DPS. Now what was that?!! Is this weapon "hunter only"? Every1 see agility, haste and ap on any sword or polearm and scream "HUNTER WEAPON!". Think again. Best hunter weapon? Yes! But does the hunter have the priority to take this weapon first? My opinion, it's THE best retro pally weapon as well. Good thing this weapon drops from trash mobs, so every1 could get it (not only hunters). And couple of last things. I analysed this weapon from RAID DPS point of view, where sta doesn't have much importance for dps classes (except warlocks who life tap to replenish their mana). Personally, i'll leave this weapon to hunter if he/she doesn't have Hallberd of Desolation, if hunter has it, than i'll roll without hesitation. For PvP the situation it's a bit different. I also analysed it from retribution paladin's point of view only. Would be great if some1 could do the math for warriors and hunters, cause the stats and weapon type contribution is different for those classes. I could do it, but i'm already too tired to type. EDIT: i made a little mistake with crit calculations. Actually it's 25 agi per 1% crit for pally, so the actual crit is 52/25=2.08%. With BoK its 57/25=2.28%. And a little sweet bonus of dodge. It's the same agility per 1% of dodge. Add Comment | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
