Phat Loot Phriday: Petrified Ivy Sprig
Let's do a wand! A really, really hot wand, too -- best in slot for most casters in the game right now.Name: Petrified Ivy Sprig (Wowhead, Thottbot, WoWDB)Type: Epic WandDamage/Speed: 414-719 Nature / 1.80 (328.6 DPS)Attributes: +19 Intellect, +22 Spirit, +26 Stamina. Which is actually less than that other big endgame wand, but wait, there's more: %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Constellus
Not all of us get to run around with Val'aynr. But for you mace casters out there who aren't first on your guild's Legendary list, here's another sweet mace to hunt down.Name: Constellus (Wowhead, Thottbot, Armory)Type: Epic Main Hand MaceDamage/Speed: 93-298 / 1.80 (108.8 DPS)Attributes: +55 Stamina, +54 Intellect Blue socket with a +5 Spell Power bonus Improves crit strike rating by 29, restores 19 mana per five seconds, and improves spell power by 587 %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: The Boreal Guard
Haven't done a shield in a while, so here's a cool-looking one to try for in Ulduar this weekend.Name: The Boreal Guard (Wowhead, Thottbot, Armory)Type: Epic ShieldArmor: 7960 (223 Block)Attributes: +39 Strength, +92 Stamina. Pretty standard for a tanking shield. Two sockets: Red and Blue. This is what pretty much puts this baby over the top in terms of endgame tanking shields -- get some extra Strength, Stamina, and/or Defense in there, and this shield matches up against stuff that drops from the very hardest bosses in the game. %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Touch of Madness
Since Rogues will be able to break out the Axes in patch 3.2, here's one for you stabby-stabby types to start aiming for now.Name: Touch of Madness (Wowhead, Thottbot, WoWDB)Type: Epic One-hand AxeDamage/Speed: 297-552 / 2.60 (163.3 DPS)Attributes: +24 Agility, +52 Stamina Improves hit rating by 34, crit strike rating by 26, and attack power by 92 %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Silent Fang
This is a nice piece of hefty (as in, anyone can get it, not just the top raiders) loot from Twitter's own @Wibbels. It's a sword from around level 60 with a breathtaking proc.Name: Silent Fang (Wowhead, Thottbot, Goblin Workshop)Type: Rare One-hand SwordDamage/Speed: 45-85 / 1.60 (40.6 DPS)Abilities: There's actually only one, and it's a crazy chance on hit: if it procs (around 5%), the enemy hit is silenced for a full six seconds. Complete silence (no spells, no casting, no nothing) for six seconds, 5% of the time. Pretty awesome, right? Unfortunately, as with everything, there's a catch. %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Fang of Oblivion
We haven't done a dagger in a while, if my memory serves. Plus, this one is made of stars.Name: Fang of Oblivion (Wowhead, Thottbot, WoWDB)Type: Epic Unique One-hand DaggerDamage/Speed: 271-407 / 1.80 (188.3 DPS)Attributes: +47 Agility, +54 Stamina, and a Yellow Socket, which will probably let you add to crit, hit or haste, depending on what you need more of, with a +4 Agility socket bonus. +1869 Feral attack power, so you can do more damage in your new kitty form. %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Ironmender
Here's an offhand, one that works pretty well for Priests.Name: Ironmender (Wowhead, Thottbot, Armory)Type: Epic Off-handDamage/Speed: N/AAbilities: +54 Stamina, +47 Intellect, +45 Spirit Improves haste rating by 36 and spell power by 74. %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Nurturing Touch
This is a crazy-looking wand from Ulduar that spits out Holy damage like nobody's business.Name: Nurturing Touch (Wowhead, Thottbot, Armory)Type: Epic WandDamage/Speed: 378-702 / 1.80 (300 DPS)Attributes: +29 Stamina, +26 Intellect, and +24 Spirit Improves crit strike rating by 20, and spell power by 39 Pretty straightforward wand -- nothing too special about it. But it is a nice one, and it's likely an upgrade from anything you've gotten in Naxx or the earlier raid instances. %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Porcelain Bell
This is a weird one -- we've been doing Ulduar epics lately, but here's something a little different for you to hunt down.Name: Porcelain Bell (Wowhead, Thottbot, Armory)Type: Poor Salvage ItemDamage/Speed: N/AAttributes: Embellished with a figure reaching toward a swan. This is a grey piece of vendor trash, probably the worst quality item we've ever featured here. Wait a minute Mike, I can hear you saying, this is supposed to be Phat Loot Phriday. Why are you showing us a piece of vendor junk? Because, my friends, in the eyes of the vendors, this little bell is worth more than the Warglaives of Azzinoth combined (and you could even throw in Thori'dal, too). Yes, this little bell sells to vendors for... wait for it... 100g. %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Stormedge
This one's by request this week -- Twitter's own @Random_Tangent recommended it to us. We've done a few Ulduar items lately (we'll have to go phat next week), but here's another nice one.Name: Stormedge (Wowhead, Thottbot, Armory)Type: Epic Two-hand AxeDamage/Speed: 594 - 892 / 3.50 (212.3 DPS)Abilities: Um, it's badass? +106 Strength, +125 Stamina. Which means this is a straight-up 2h DPS weapon -- the Strength adds a huge damage bonus to Warriors, Death Knights, Feral Druids (edit: well nevermind then), and Paladins by giving them a +212 attack power just from the weapon alone, not to mention other places Strength is used. Shamans also get a buff -- not quite as big, but still nice. %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Northern Barrier
Been a while since we did a shield. And since we did a BoE, actually. So here's both in one.Name: Northern Barrier (Wowhead, Thottbot, WoWWiki)Type: Epic ShieldArmor: 7890 Armor (221 Block)Attributes: +42 Strength, +94 Stamina Increases defense rating by 63, which is just awesome. %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Ironsoul
As much as Martin Fury would have been appropriate here today, we'll stick to actual player items for now. Here's a nice big scary mace to hope for from Ulduar's first boss this weekend.Name: Ironsoul (Wowhead, Thottbot, Armory)Type: Two-hand Epic MaceDamage/Speed: 594 - 892 / 3.50 (212.3 DPS)Attributes: +105 Strength, +126 Stamina Improves crit strike rating by 69 and armor penetration rating by 84. %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Soulscribe
Hey hey, now we're talking. Here's our first Ulduar item, and it is an excellent caster dagger.Name: Soulscribe (Wowhead, Thottbot, WoWDB)Type: Epic Unique Main-hand DaggerDamage/Speed: 88-283 / 1.80 (103.3 DPS)Attributes: +54 Stamina, +49 Intellect. These stats and the name point to Warlocks as the main users of this dagger, but really, given the rest of the stats, almost any caster could get some good use out of this thing. The main thing it's missing is Spirit, so if you count on that, you might want to look elsewhere, but this is Ulduar gear: chances are it's an upgrade no matter who you are. %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Death's Bite
Another Twitter recommendation for Phat Loot Phriday this week, this one from @MEA_Alex. Probably our last piece of Naxx gear, too -- next time we'll get into Ulduar, as there is some really awesome stuff in there, too.Name: Death's Bite (Wowhead, Thottbot, WoWDigger)Type: Epic Two-Hand AxeDamage/Speed: 554-831 / 3.40 (203.7 DPS)Attributes: +101 Strength, +114 Stamina Improves hit rating by 62, and crit strike rating by 90. %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Black Ice
Today's item comes to us from the wild and strange land of Twitter, where Jezriyah suggested this might be the prettiest item in the game. Maybe -- but only if you don't count characters, as my Night Elf Hunter is pretty hot. Also, if you're not following WoW Insider on Twitter yet, now's the chance to do so -- you get to suggest items like this!Name: Black Ice (Wowhead, Thottbot, Wowdigger)Type: Epic PolearmDamage/Speed: 570 - 856 / 3.50 (203.7 DPS)Attributes: +108 Agility, +88 Stamina 2084 Feral Attack Power, if you're into that sort of thing, and you probably are -- this is one of the best cat DPS weapons for Feral Druids %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Jaina's Signet Ring
As promised, we're going husky this week (which means we're choosing a midlevel item that has some significance to gameplay, rather than a high-end epic item to drool over).Name: Jaina's Signet Ring (Wowhead, Thottbot, Wowwiki)Type: Uncommon RingDamage/Speed: N/AAttributes: +3 Strength, +7 Stamina This ring is actually more notable for what it isn't than what it is. It's more or less the final reward in the Missing Diplomat questline, which spans ten Alliance levels from 28 to 38. And yet, after traversing half the world and uncovering a gigantic mystery, all you get is some XP, a nice chunk of reputation, and this little ring. Unfortunately, most players are of the opinion (with good reason, if you ask me), that a piddly little ring like this probably isn't worth all of the trouble. This is probably one of the quests Jeff Kaplan would probably say wasn't quite done correctly. %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Demise
Name: Demise (Wowhead, Thottbot, WoWDigger)Type: Epic Two-hand MaceDamage/Speed: 522 - 784 / 3.50 (186.6 DPS)Attributes: +90 Strength, +103 Stamina Improves hit rating by 49, which is excellent -- melee can almost always benefit from more hit And improves haste rating by 89 %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Gemmed Wand of the Nerubians
Not only is this wand purty, but the damage it pushes out is purty good, too.Name: Gemmed Wand of the Nerubians (Wowhead, Thottbot, WoW-Arsenal)Type: Epic Wand (Shadow damage)Damage/Speed: 362 - 674 / 1.80 (287.8 DPS)Abilities: +27 Stamina, +22 Intellect Improves hit rating by 18, haste rating by 22, and spell power by 37 %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Armageddon
Spellpower maces and wands and bows are cute and all. But sometimes you just want a big sword.Name: Armageddon (Wowhead, Thottbot, WoWDigger)Type: Epic Two-hand SwordDamage/Speed: 554-831 / 3.40 (203.7 DPS)Attributes: First, just look at that thing. This is clearly a sword that, when swung in an arcward manner, brings all sorts of death and destruction. +101 Strength, and +108 Stamina, which is (definitely not the first weapon ever, but) the first weapon I've seen that has two triple-digit buffs. %Gallery-33600%
Phat Loot Phriday: Cowl of Sheet Lightning
Lots of the endgame cloth headpieces look the same actually, but it's a good look -- the pointy head, the glowing eyes. And nothing says power than a name like "sheet lightning."Name: Cowl of Sheet Lightning (Wowhead, Thottbot, WoWDigger)Type: Epic Cloth HeadArmor: 244Attributes: +67 Stamina, +68 Intellect Meta and a Yellow socket, with a socket bonus of +9 spell power Improves Haste rating by 48, and spellpower by 85 %Gallery-33600%
