Xal'atoh/Gorehowl

[Yunru]

I'm still holding out hope that SOMEHOW Prince Malchezaar has something to do with it.

Some1 from future sold him a weapon? I blame infinite dragons.

[Lynneiah]

Either it's a copy, or someone needs to hand Blizz a dictionary so they can look up what 'image' means.

[3DTyrant]

It's a corrupted copy of the original, besides, I cant be the ONLY one here who thinks this is a weapon you'd see in a Soul Calibur game

[Deleted]

If you think about it, it really has to be an image. If it was the actual Gorehowl then there wouldn't be an original Gorehowl to end up in Malchezar's hands

[Guyviroth]

I can imagine fury warriors DW'ing this... it'd look immense.

[Nivena]

how do you pronounce its name?

Xal'atoh like Xavier in spanish?

Sometimes I wonder for days how to correctly pronounce WoW names such as Xuen, Ahn'Qiraij, etc.

on topic: I really like the animations, especially the 'pieces of sha energy' that fall off the weapon and its creepy eyes.

Will it have a sha touched socket?

Also: Let's hope for a cool procc....I read somewhere that some Siege of Orgrimmar weapons will have a procc like the ones from Madness of Deathwing.

Many of the Chinese-sounding names in MoP are pronounced incorrectly anyways, when they are pronounced at all. In Mandarin the Q has sort of a "Ch" sound, so Quillen should be something to the effect of "Chweh-lun" and not "Kwill-en", Qiang (as in the Spirit King) should be "Chiang" and not "Kee-ang", etc. Xuen should be something like "Shwen" not "Zoo-en", etc. Of course you could argue that Qiang is Mogu and not Chinese, so it has a hard K sound, etc.

[Kuniku]

fury warriors DWing this and the original ftw =D

[Lynneiah]

Words that start with an X are generally pronounced with a Z. I have no idea why, but that seems to be the way of things.

[Dethekk]

That axe is going to look perfect in the hands of my Felguard.

What happens beneath the Vale of Eternal Blossoms: Garrosh discards his father's inferior weapon and creates the goo-powered eyesore in its image—an act so arrogant it manifests the Sha of Pride, the fourth boss of the raid.

[Jawless Jones]

the goo-powered eyesore

i see what you did there

[Zaelsino]

I still can't believe he'd drop his father's axe on the floor and run off with this thing.

[Mawnix]

If he's throwing away Gorehowl I think we could say its symbolism for him throwing away anything left of him being a true Hellscream.

He's throwing his heritage away for a dark, disgusting power.

[inboundpaper]

I would appreciate the irony if Varian picks up Gorehowl and slays Garrosh with it. Or we get to like click it during the fight and something happens.

[Zeras]

I still can't believe he'd drop his father's axe on the floor and run off with this thing.

Me neither, it's pretty symbolic right? Similar to how Arthas left behind his hammer to take up Frostmourne. Arthas leaving behind his hammer hence "abandoning the light" while Garrosh leaving behind his Father's axe his "heritage".

[Dethekk]

Nothing disgusting in Old Gods!

[Deleted]

And here I tought Gorehowl will be broken to pieces by the Doomhammer.

[Kazgrel]

Wonder if they'll do something along the lines of when someone in the raid had Atiesh when encountering Shade of Aran ("Where did you get that? Did HE send you?!") or even the Corrupted Ashbringer (wishful thinking on my part, perhaps) were someone in the raid to have the original Gorehowl on them.

sounds like a true Hellscream to me. Grom wasn't exactly all that different from his son really
