Scythe of Elune suggestion

Post by Krotux » Sat Dec 09, 2023 5:42 pm

All I want to say is that it would be cool if it was unique and not "Atiesh 2.0"

Obviously there is room to make it different for priests and druids, by making it shadow/balance focused as opposed to healer/feral, but how about mage/warlock?

It would be cool if the warlock one also had some cool effects, maybe increased pet damage/attack speed, made enslave demon permanent and unbreakable or just something that isn't just "moar SP".

I am not sure about the mage one. Maybe make it specially good for arcane?

All I know is ateish is awful for feral, resto, and boomkin druids, as well as the shadow priest version. My hope is scythe is improved for the classes that can wield it, or that Ateish is buffed. I hate that MCP is still BIS over Eye of Nerub and Ateish.

there's no way a drop from kara 10 will end up being better than atiesh

Is Scythe of Elune quest chain unfinished? I can't see this weapon in the database. The last quest leads you to the Upper Karazhan which is not in the game.
The devil is in the detail.

It's not just from kara10. Besides the fact there are BIS items from kara10, there are BIS items from MC for some classes and BIS items in BWL for other casters. As someone who's full BIS in two specs, I can comfortably say my BIS tanking and dps'ing gear runs the gamut from BWL gear, all the way through Naxx.

Who knows? Maybe this will lead you later to the harder quests. Now there is one part to kill Nefarian which equals to clearing whole BWL. Maybe later step will be to kill Kel'Thuzad? If the quest starts in a 10 man dungeon, it doesn't mean it's that easy to complete.

Can we confirm the reward from that quest is a weapon? If not, the reward could be anything, some armor, a trinket or a new learned spell.

Or maybe nothing at all, just raw gold and rep

Thunderfury and sulfuras both come from MC lol
Also scythe makes you clear BWL at least

Upper kara is T3.5 so I don't think the last part to kill Kel'thuzad is consider a challenge. Maybe the last part is required to go to the T4 raid (the T4 raid is coming based on an interview with Akalix).

Yes! Introduce survival as two-handed hunter tank spec who tanks together with his/her pet and sharing damage. Make him be able to block attacks with his spear or staff. Thank you.
