is it just me or will the weapon dps on that staff far outweigh the stats and make it bis for feral.

[AbeS]

Its prolly just you

[Hotted]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..................

[Pouncedd]

Yea dude take it.


One less caster that would have that BS in arena.

[Aliandren]

the pics on mmo-champion are showing it with 948 dps at top level, though looking at it on wowhead now it looks like blizzard figured that was stupid for a caster weapon...351 dps is listed there.

also looking at sulfuras heroic version the stats would make up for the ~60 less weapon dps anyway.

i won't ever see the inside of firelands, let alone have a chance at getting that. Just thought it was really weird for a caster weapon to have the highest base weapon dps in the game.

theorycrafting at its finest, and im not being sarcastic <3

[Bewtz]

why on earth would you get that over a caster anyways, derp.

[Naatzors]

Lets compare it to an agility version of heroic sulfaras - knowing that weapondps is roughly twice as good as agility (if i remember this correctly)- to make it easier, we'll count all secondary stats as the same value (esp because we dont know what stats will be on agi weapos)

Sulfaras: 880weap dps, 730stam 446 strength (agility), 333 crit, 262 mastery, 2 gemslots, 20strength (agility) socketbonus

Dragonwrath: 948 dps, 779 stamina, no agility, 366 hit, 252 haste, 3gemslots, no valuable socket bonus.

The difference:

+ 68 dps, + 60stamina, + 23 secondary stats, +20agility (1 more gem, 20less agi from socket bonus) -446 agility

So basicly you're trading 60 stamina, 23secondary stats (haste and TONS of hit wich is not optimal) for 310agility.

IF the proc turns out to work on mangle/shred (Just like black magic did) Im pretty confident it WILL be our best in slot weapon. Otherwise, the loss of agility is just to much

edit: Sux to see so many people not realising what theorycrafting is about

[ZybakTV]

this made me sad, I read this thinking they made an agility version of Dragonwraith

Wonder if it would proc off howling blast...... or better yet, if it would double summon gargoyle....
Is army of the dead a spell, can I have 16 ghouls at once?

[Zigenz]

staff + unheeded = win? lol

[kshaman]

someone get this guy a cookie

[nijuu]

Why should you ever think about it that it's worth to pick up a caster weapon with a loss of 440 agility?

[Nox]

Double mana burn disc priest go!

Although I wonder if you could 2x instant cyclone somebody with it?
