Update - The staff isn't final (and Lylirra is the most awesome Community Manager on earth for pointing out that we have no way to datamine it for the moment)

We did, however, hint at what the proc will be in our 4.2 preview: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2685003

The great staff duplicates destructive magics, and also bestows upon its wielder the ability to transform into a member of the Blue Dragonflight.

Also, please keep in mind that some items on the PTR are still considered "works-in-progress," so certain aspects of their design -- including stats, on-use abilities, and appearance -- may change before the next patch goes live. :)

Oh! And just to clarify (since I saw this asked in another thread), Dragonwrath will not be BoE.

Patch 4.2 - PTR Build 14040
A new PTR build will be deployed on test realms today.



Tier 12 - Druid Model Preview
The Druid Tier 12 files are partially in this patch and I had enough to do a small preview.


  • The gloves are slightly bugged and will look a little weird.
  • The shoulders aren't in the game files yet.

    It honestly looks like they threw a bunch of scrapped ideas together and called it good. The druid tier looks like a mess!
    It's not just the helm, it's all of it.
    And why does one of the horns have to be broken?
    And our toes! Vulnerable!
    I demand our toes be protected, Blizz. If we aren't hindered by sharp stones, our enemies will surely stomp on our toes and laugh as we double over in pain.

    I hope that legendary isn't done yet... +20Int, 1 more socket, extra +10Int socket bonus, +20crit, and +338 swing dmg. Doesn't seem too legendary to me, especially compared to the "Runestaff" or "Second phase" of said "legendary".

    Here's to hoping!

    Intresting. The Staff's Ilvl is 404, and its Unable to be datamined?

    Really? Another DK Nerf? And on Frost?

    Sigh..

    I guess Anvil of Conflagation is the place where we will be fighting hc Ragnaros. As far as i remember they said he'll have completely different encounter on heroic.

    Pets

    The Aggressive pet stance has been removed and replaced with the Assist stance. This stance will cause the player's pet to attack the player's target. The pet will not change targets unless the master attacks a new target for a few seconds.


    ... HALELUJA! That's pretty damn great, I hate it when my imp doesn't do what I want him to do

    -EDIT- ugh wrong thread... ah well :P

    They're adding the proc later. The stats aren't final on the legendary version.
  1. mmoc922fb67334's Avatar
    Its not the final version, as you probably can see,

    1. No Proc
    2. Its "Weapon" not staff so everyone can use it
    3. Its BoE

    Anyone know the spell effect color of Lunar Shower? Golden perhaps?
  1. Touchyfeely's Avatar
    I always believed in them saving the best tier previews for last. but REALLY? That druid tier 12 looks like pure garbage. something my main will have to be walking around in oh joy. The other classes were definitely more amazing and gave the fiery vibe. what ever happen to "making them all fit the fireland theme" blizz?
  1. Suggs's Avatar
    ye i deff got to say the druid set looks a complete mess. What the fuck do blizzard think when they make them.
    I dont know about anyone else but id rather pay for and extra dvd full of textures or however every expansion just to see better well thought out designed items/textures etc.
    Im glad im not a druid but to be quite honest all the tier sets that have been released look complete crap, cant think which tier is left apart from warlock without going back and looking at the front page news again but if they alwas leave the best till last , ill be happy lol......but im not hoping :S

    srsly blizz start hire some designer instead of using kids paint.

    learn to read the entire post!

    Awww the b!tching that is the WoW community never changes.
    "Why are they nerfing my class again"
    "Where is the proc for the staff? you fail blizz!"
    "Why is there Crit/Hit on the staff?" *nerd rage*
    "OMG druid T12 is ugly. All the teir set are ugly"
    "Why does Ragnors have legs? QQ

    Blizz should just hurry up with more expantions and get them all over with. I dont know why GC just doesnt make a forum post telling all you whiners to STFU caues WoW players are acting like spoiled childern. I use to play FFXI and we were grateful for what was good about the game. and yet people who play WoW whine for something as little as a 5% increase cost to a spell or whine about the looks of tier armor therer going to only have on for about 2-3 months anyway.

    Sometimes ppl just have no idea Blizz spoiles us til they play other games.
