Shadowmourne Preview, Comics

[skyclops]

Hmmm i do wonder about the shelf life of this weapon though
considering the next expacs not so far off

[Pally4ever]

Blizzard finally understood that Legendary items must not be a drop from dungeons.

[treston323]

About the time tbh.

But in topic, this weapon is truly something I will work hard for without a doubt.
Truly epic of the epics. Sad its on such a "lame" expansion.

better than BC IMO.

[He-man]

is ashbringer going to drop in 3.3

or only used as like a 'legendary encounter weapon' like the ones in TK...


beacuse Blizzard did say on record that in 3.3 the ashbringer stoyline comes to a end

and they Blizzard did say that in WOTLK ashbringer would finaly drop...

Hummmmm

I really hope they suprize us with Frostmorne and Ashbringer dropping... but i cant see it happening now this is out <_>.. they Lied1111!!

"You shall toil for eternity in a new azeroth"

reference to cataclysm? :P

On topic, the reaping of a thousand souls seems a little vague. Is it 1k kills in general? Or 1k mobs in icecrown? i've tried to find more info but i failed at the internets so far. Or some specific action in which your character auto reaps the souls (perhaps killing a specific boss; i.e. the lich king and claiming the souls he claimed prior?).

NEED MOAR INFO!

[Caniper]

Oh, and to all the casters wishing they had such an awesome weapon, you have to consider that melee classes directly use their weapon, so its bound to be more dynamic by default. You already have flash effects via spells you're just use to seeing them. The most dynamic melee attack i can think of is Divine Storm, or perhaps Bladestorm.

No one really knows which mobs it'll be, becuase Blizz hasn't told us...and you can't go that far into the quest on the PTR. I personally would assume that it would be mobs found in 25 man ICC...as its a 25 man raid quest. I think its pretty safe to assume that.

A quick post of what all the whispers say:

• "The Light will abandon you, Hero, just as it did me."
• "Take them, Mortal. These souls will again be mine, soon enough."
• "Soon, Mortal, you too shall have a blade for a prison."
• "Remember, Hero, I too once sought a weapon of great power."
• "I see you too are gathering souls for your remnant. Are we really so different, Champion?"
• "*[Laugh]* Look at you Child, would be wielder of souls. You can not fathom the power that lies in my command."
• "Come to me, Pretender. Feed my blade!"
• "My challenges have strengthened you, Champion. You shall server me well. *[Laugh]*"
• "Never have I had cause to regret sparing your life, Mortal. Always, you find ways to amuse me."
• "The moment is soon at hand, Mortal. You shall toil for eternity, in a new Azeroth."
• "More souls. Yes, more! You will find it hard to stop."
• "The hunger your weapon feels is but a shade of what awaits. Do you want to see real hunger, real power? Continue onward, Hero. I am waiting."
• "You stumble upon in darkness. There's no Light here, no mercy. Icecrown has claimed the souls of better heroes than You."
• "Your heart, it's incessant drumming disgusts me. I will silence it, as I did my own!"

Thanks to Supercool for correcting me. It made a lot more sense now.

[Styria]

Only me who thinks that it would be quite irritating to run around with that "drain soul" effect around your char 24/7?....

In the video that boub posted the buff lasted 60 seconds. i'm assuming that's going to be the duration

[Spiteblade]

Does anyone know the name of the music that plays in background?

[execc]

Too bad it's unique. Dual wielding this for 800 str and double the damage would be insane. (inc fury nerf)

[skylla05]

Just to sum this thread up for newcomers

<Insert speculation regarding the details surrounding Shadowmourne acting as if it's the truth>
<Insert unfounded rebuttle against said speculation regarding the details surrounding Shadowmourne acting is if it's the truth>

I just saved you 11 pages. I printed myself off a gold star, don't worry.

The 1000 kills reminds me of grinding to be a Dark Knight in FF11. Though that wasn't too bad. 100 or 150, or something. Though with how slow that game is, it may be similar to 1000 in WoW heh.

[Supercool]

I think the "Continue on with evil" is wrong, and I don't understand the three first words in the "... You will find it hard to stop" whisper.

"More souls! Yes, more! You will find it hard to stop!"

"The hunger your weapon feels is but a shade of what awaits. Do you want to see real hunger, real power? Continue onward, hero. I am waiting."

Ok I don't see anyone discussing the proc from this weapon. I see everytime you get 1 stack you get 40 str. And it stacks up to 10 (400 str) in which you unleash that aoe thing.. and then does it just reset to 0??

If thats the case it seems kinda crappy to trade off 400 str for an AoE effect, on boss fights at least, where usually you are attacking 1 mob. Do you really build it up to 400 str only to do some 2k aoe, and then go back to 0 str?

I don't play a melee, but I'm wondering what melee think, would you rather have the 400 str or the aoe? It just seems kinda bad that you don't get to keep the 400 str buff for long (how long does the 10 stacks stay up before it dissipates to the AoE effect and resets?)

Just wondering what you guys think of that, maybe I'm misreading it :/

well even if it goes to 0 still as a meele u can gain back pretty fast those stacks back.also dont forget the stats of the weapon.they are so imba that if u are getting 10 stacks plus the stats and plus the aoe,well that would be a prtty sweet bug for the lucky meele chars that ahve the weap but also that would leave the other players back at their dps dmg.so i think it is fair that after the aoe the stacks goes to 0 and then u have to collect them egain.trust me it is not that hard as it sounds

[Mandible]

Tbh besides the 25 orbs this sound like a really easy legendary to make atm.

[ScorchHellfire]

The whispers happen as you make progress in the quests... if you listen to all of them, you can tell by what some of them say that they happen when you do certain things required to make the weapon...

[Deleted]

This makes me to go back to hardcore raiding
