Phat Loot Phriday: Demise

Name: Demise (Wowhead, Thottbot, WoWDigger)
Type: Epic Two-hand Mace
Damage/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
- Grants 1844 feral attack power if you're large and furry.
- Works well for Death Knights or any other two-hand wielders who want to do a lot of DPS. It's not actually best-in-slot, as there are other two-hand weapons that exist in the game that will probably do better. But if it drops while you need a nice upgrade, it's definitely a nice upgrade.
- Plus, the name is cool. This is actually an upgrade from the old Naxx's Might of Menethil, and while some people (probably Alliance) like the old name better, I prefer Demise.
Getting Rid of It: Sells off to vendors for a whopping 24g 41s 3c, and disenchants, as with all of the other epics at the current endgame, into an Abyss Crystal. We've been saying that a lot lately -- maybe next week we'll do a husky loot item. As always if you have any suggestions, throw them in the comments below.

WHAT?? No mention of the weapon that had this graphic originally?

Unless he updated the post after you commented, I'm pretty sure it's mentioned.
I always wanted to go back and get Might of Menethil in BC but so many nubs couldn't get themselves attuned before 3.0 and I was working the 2 times the top guilds on the realm offered me a spot >_< A Draenei Shaman ended up being the only person on the realm with it, kind of ironic really.
Friends in high places are good but work screwed me over anyway :P

is this wep good for dk tanks? better than titansteel destroyer?
Narshe Mar 27th 2009 11:28PM
I wouldnt use it for tanking no, Haste on tanking gear is a big no no.
Antonia Mar 28th 2009 12:43AM
Tooltip says 45 hit, article says 49
I hear misinformation is a no no also..

How amusing, the mace i disenchanted the other day gets its own article :P

Bah, haste. Are they deliberately spending of item budget on stupid, weak stats this early in the expansion just so that we can feel like things are improving later on? I thought we already had the ilvl mechanic in place to make T8 gear better than T7 gear, so this smells more like item designers not understanding class mechanics.

If it weren't haste, it would just be armor penetration.
Teaspoon Mar 28th 2009 2:06AM
At least penetration applies to specials...

Don't think it's a massive upgrade from the Titansteel Destroyer, which you should have if you're already entering Naxx.
Still a cool mace though, but it's no DKP destroyer (unlike the vaunted BoH).

kind of silly, but you may want to add in Feral AP on these items.
I don't play Druids, but they can still use the items =/
Soatari Mar 28th 2009 11:01AM
I was thinking that too.
"Where's the feral AP? I know it has it now."

Relatively speaking, the Titansteel is a much better weapon and a lot easier to obtain. In today’s abundance of daily quests the funds to purchase it should be a nil point. I actually wish that blizzard would buff this weapon so that people who have the Titansteel Destroyer can aim for some sort of upgrade in the 10 man bracket rather than having to go directly into 25man content in order to get an upgrade.

It didn't drop from Heigan for me...I got it from Gluth, if I remember well.
Kanuris Mar 29th 2009 5:01AM
Gluth is the factory in Naxx that makes most of the loot. Other bosses nab stuff from his belly.

This is a good weapon. Not the best weapon you find, but it's a good one.
I have two of them.
