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.

    Does more damage than my 3.6 MH, damn, i should get that for my warrior, imagine how beastly i'd look!

    Val'anyr was Tier 8 content, but they ended up buffing the stats to Tier 9 content because it was a legendary. I think the "Item Level Inflation" is just because its a tier ahead.

    Which means Tier 13 will have 404 ilvl.

    Hit and crit? So this staff was made for a fire/frost mage?

    ......

    Unless the proc is going to be haste as a shadow priest I will pass on this thing
  1. quesadilla's Avatar
    With the majority of your hit coming from the weapon you're free to pursue haste on your other gear, great stats IMO.
    sort of makes it slightly better for mages and locks who value crit slightly higher than the hybrid dpsers.

    There will be a proc, its just obviously not included yet. Blizz already said when it procs it will turn you into a dragonkin or something of the sort for the duration of what it is. The proc, the presence of three sockets, and the insane amount of spellpower will make this BiS for anyone that can use it, though granted it will be better suited for some class than others.

    Rune Strike whiners can breathe a sigh of relief. If I was a lesser man, I would totally say "I told you so!"... oh wait.

    The Holy Pally changes (mana-increase across the board, basically...) are interesting, but not game-breaking.

    Why the fuck are holy paladins getting nerfed again -_-
  1. Kashydan's Avatar
    fascinating how everybody flaming the oh-so-bad stats seems not able to remember ATIESH

    The changes are a small percent of base mana, so basically... if they did this as a stealth patch, you wouldn't even notice it.

    Pretty trivial.

    there won't be a proc, it is legendary because of 25 more durability :P

    lol.


    That aside, they already mentioned there would be a use: that turned you into a dragon of some sorts.

    i wonder what the offensive proc this fine fine wep will have?

    Eww staff. Crit instead haste? mage>spriest, ele, boom, lock
  1. SkodLife's Avatar
    Hit and Crit...

    ARE YOU @£$#ING KIDDING ME, BLIZZ?
    DIDN'T YOU LEARN FROM HAMMER OF PURIFIED FLAME AND ROYAL SCEPTER OF TERENAS II OR WHAT?

    ... Sorry about this outburst.
    I'm just saying I think people would rather have haste and mastery instead of hit and crit (or at least _I_ will).
