    No Procs on Siege Weapons Confirmed

    I was surprised that GC actually replied to me on twitter just now so I thought I'd update you guys on why their aren't any cool procs on siege weapons in 5.4.

    @Ghostcrawler We wanted the heirlooms to be very competitive, which would be tough if there were procs competing with them.
    @Ghostcrawler Procs are cool. We will do them again. The SoO trinkets are pretty cool in the meantime.

    I prefer the BoAs. So I ain't even mad. And I completely agree that proc weapons would have invalidated the BoA weapons.

    Garrosh drops (as individual LFR style loot) Heirloom weapons that can be used in the next expansions leveling.

    Are these Heirloom weapons good enough to be equipped by max level players? I haven't seen them yet.

    i believe they are BiS, each weapon also comes with 2 red sockets, the heroic versions are item level 574, and normal 561?.

    They will be BiS for everyone and BiS while leveling in the next expansion too.

    The heirloom weapons are, I believe, 2 ilvls higher than the other weapons in Siege. They will probably be more people's BiS weapons.

    Sweet, I think it's a fair trade off then. That's pretty exciting news.

    Correct. They will, in fact, probably not be BiS unless they happen to be tagged for Upgrades once the patch goes live. They currently are not tagged.

    Aw man. The final tier weapon procs were always (or usualy, anyway) really fun.

    I still remember my blood DK running around with the sword (whatever it was called) from Deathwing. The procrate on that thing was all kinds of out of wack for blood DKs; it was able to proc multiple times per blood boil per target hit, as a result of the pestilence spam and such. End result was often 4-6 tentacles per trash pack, or in group PvP. It would sometimes make up the majority of my damage, not to mention the snare it spammed on everyone! It was fucking hilarious.

    Pretty lame we won't be seeing the same again. The trinket procs this tier all also seem very lame compared to the weapons of past.

    Also doesn't look like they'll be BiS for anyone as of right now, which would make GCs whole argument invalid from the start.

    I personally hated my Paladin being followed around by spontaneously spawning hentai tentacles during 4.3. I'm not anti-proc weapon per se, but I'm against annoying visual effects that aren't optional.

    No weapon procs? So boring.

    You mean like every other proc in the game, including all trinkets?

    Well, there's no accounting for taste, but not all of them are annoying. I am much more agreeable to, Darkmist Vortex from TOES and it's lightning field than I am Spark of Zandalar that turns you into a troll that can't mount without cancelling the proc. A cooler troll model than actual trolls, perhaps, but still a pain. As for weapon procs, the Thunderfury proc is just fantastic visually. Hentai tentacles, not so much.
