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.

    +30 int socket bonus? Boo! The socket bonus should be legendary too!
  1. Cailind's Avatar
    Those stats don't look much better than the staff right next to it. Only 20 more INT and 20 more Crit. The proc had better make it worth the grind. If so my doomkin will fall in love with it.

    iLvl 391 epic vs. iLvl 404 legendary:
    +30 int
    +20 crit rating
    +1 red socket

    Something tells me it's not quite finished. Especially the part where spellpower values are the same.

    Hit/Crit on the new craftable boe items and the legendary. Really....way to go Blizzard.

    Yah, all of that screams not quite finished, but whatever, it's PTR for a reason. Unlikely that Ragnaros will even be available on the PTR.

    Spellpower is probably the same because the Proc is going to be that awesome.

    yep.. like this this legendary would only be a minor upgrade to the normal epic staff. it wouldbt even be worth to get... its pretty unfinished i think.

    My god... the amount of stupidity in these comments:

    This is DATAMINED information. It's never complete.

    As you can see, it doesn't even say "Staff", it says "Weapon". Proc is not there, stats could not be final, it says BoE. I hardly think it's complete.

    Stop complaining over datamined information.

    It also has highest melee dps ingame! lol

    Legendaries are known for their procs, not the stats.
