Gripe of the Week #8: Shadowmourne
by Sunfyre on Nov.17, 2009, under Gripe of the Week
More information was released about Shadowmourne today. Am I the only one tired of melee legendaries? Let’s see. There was [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker], [Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros], and [Warglaive of Azzinoth] / [Warglaive of Azzinoth]. Granted, Sulfuras wasn’t used by many besides enhancement shaman. This is still the third legendary weapon for warriors. Healers have had two legendaries, [Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings] and [Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian], which was shared by DPS Casters, and it is arguably the hardest legendary to obtain at the time. (Endgame Naxxramas40 is still probably the least obtained content by guilds, even to this day). Yet, Blizzard decides to make another melee legendary weapon.
Knowing our luck, the next legendary will be a caster sword.

Latest on Thu, 09:38 pm: They just updated the 4pc T13 again. 10% Bonus damage and 5 seconds reduced CD.
: Btw, it's not worth it to acctually refresh your dot when it proc...just play as if it's a normal weap... The 2,5 sec you loose refreshing your dot could have been used to get more eclipse utpime and thus benefiting from Nature's grace, which is more important.
: It pretty much averages out to 300 haste all the time, which isnt bad, but you're right it's hard to predict when it'll proc and casting dots accordingly. I feel the extra haste to the raid is worth it though.
: our 4 set bonus has been changed to 10% increased starsurge dmg
: Buffing T13 4 piece set bonus! Yay we can finally use our new tier set.

They’re making Quel’Delar(delar?) caster version a sword. Yep yep. Moonkins can wear the Healing mace though, cause crit is so hard to get by and mp5 so good for our dps.

The mace has haste on it now, not mp5.
Quel’delar isn’t a legendary, though.

Quel’delar is far more epic than Shadowmourne anyways…, screw the item color
.

im definitely glad they gave the mace haste vs mp5.
i guess if we want legendaries we have to roll a melee
