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.

    Hmm ... gonna be intresting to see how many tanks and healers will be intresting in Cata for the next 8 months... Seems like Blizzard thinks there is plenty of them around so they focus on DPS staff...

    LOL at all the healers that thought they were going to be able to use the lesser versions of the staff. Hit just shit on your parade.

    Hot damn......948.1 DPS!

    you're not seriously thinking that this is the final draft of the legendary + stats + procs?

    reminder: the official preview explicitly stated that you could "USE:" the staff to turn into a blue dragon... that isn't finished on there either

    so...relax and wait for the remaining patchnotes / builds :P

    itemlvl 404 is hillarious though xD
  1. Gemazarus's Avatar
    Hmm. Thinking that this is not final. There is the same amount of Hit and Spell Power on the final two, and no proc. Still looks nice though.

    I'm sorry, with 3 Red Sockets and that socket bonus, my JC Resto Sham will gladly take some hit (can reforge some to spirit) for a 171 Int bonus :-D
  1. phoenixphyre's Avatar
    The proc hasn't been datamined for it yet or it simply hasn't been added to the game files at this point.

    I am happy that I got pretty damn close a few months ago when I estimated the staffs stats.

    I Think I calculated it at a lower level though. didn't expect the 404 item level.
    650 stam
    425 int
    300 secondary statx2
    2600 SP
