Quel'delar Epic weapon from ptr

[jettzypher]

im sure they came out with it as a means to bridge from entry lvl 80 weapons to t9/t10 equivalent weapons. since youll be able to acquire a good portion of t9 gear in no time at all, they dont want people running around with just 200/219 lvl weapons.

i could also be wrong, just kinda how i look at it...

there is a 2h version with huge agility in place strenght, similar crit and expertise(84 points or so) in place haste and a gem slot+pure ap(160+): somenthing similar to a empowered version of marrowstrike from tocH, but not sure what is better, probably requires testing.

id go after the sword. str > ap for warriors. ill benefit more from the sword you have there than a druid/hunter weapon.

The Quel'Serrar (sp?) was a BoU epic to start the chain, it was the really terrible drop rate for it that made it rare. I'm pretty sure this will be the same way when it goes live. Right now they have vendors selling it to test the chain I would guess.

They need to add nonsuck trinkets to vendors. Im tired of losing /rolls for trinkets in ToC10/25 and my ilvl200 trinkets are starting to get embarassing.

damn. i f i knew that, i will do for 5x at same time, so i could perform some tests.
weapon white dmg looks a bit strange/wrong: getting just +10% vs my marrowstrike.

you can get battered hilt from inscription vendors.



just like t9 and few other things.

aye, this is the "gear up for expansion leveling" patch. The last patch of BC was similar. You could buy t6 weapons and armor for badges. This time its way more epics available to heroic farmers though.

Bliz also have said that they want "most" the players to experience IC and the LK, so this will be a way for casuals to gear up for IC as well.

I much rather us get weapons to bridge the gap instead of having to run ulduar or toc during IC just so we can continue to raid.

Nothing sucks more then not being able to complete your content because you cant fill the ranks with even beginner level gear.
