Phat Loot Phriday: Brazier of Dancing Flames

Lolegolas sighed. "No, Throgg. I'm sorry, I used too many syllables on you at once. I have a brazier. The Brazier of Dancing Flames, actually. It is in no way related to underwear."
"Then, if you're so smart, what does it do?"
"It's actually quite nice," Lolegolas said. "It summons a tiny elemental spirit which will perform the dance of midsummer. If you mimic that behavior, you will momentarily be transformed into a similar -- but larger! -- spirit, to join it in its revelry. It will also bow in return to you, if you bow to it. Things like that."
"What you look like when changed, little blood elf?" Throgg questioned.
"Well," sighed Lolegolas. "A flaming draenei woman, actually."
"Why do you want to look like space goat?"
"Look!" Lolegolas. "It's perfectly okay if someone just wants to feel pretty before entering a raid. And, besides, it's about celebrating Midsummer Fire Festival!"

Good goddamn, but I love the way they rendered female draenei.
Sure, they're just pixels, but still.

Opening sequence was made of win. I feel like this should be a regular column. Lolegolas and Throgg.

Tip: get someone to summon Mojo pet, then dance with brazier, then kiss Mojo (or kiss Mojo, then dance with fire spirit, I don't remember the exact order). Voila: flaming frog!

One of the best toys you can have out while waiting for something a raid.

I got this two years ago for one reason: Engineering.
When I used the Toshley's Station teleporter and got the race transformation debuff, it was one of two debuffs: Horde or Alliance.
It was then possible to drop this brazier, and dance with it repeatedly. Every time you come out of the dance, your race could change to one of the other options. If you had the Alliance version, you could switch between female draenei (my favorite), male night elf, male dwarf, or female gnome. If you got the Horde version, you could switch between male Tauren (second favorite), male troll, female orc, or female blood elf.
So whenever I got the transformation debuff, I could use the brazier to switch to my favorite forms, that being Draenei Female Warlock or Tauren Male Warlock, depending on which version I got. (The random changing between races could also occur if you went through a loading screen, changed forms as a druid, or stealthed/unstealthed as a rogue).
Then those jerks at Blizzard decided to fix it, and now when you get the debuff you're stuck at whatever race you got... the only two I really can't stand are the female orc and female belf ones. Those make me cry when I get them now.

I always pull this out whenever there is a pause in a heroic or a raid; inevitably, I won't be the only one who dances with it.

"Brazier" vs. "brassiere" -- lol.
Eudeyrn Jun 18th 2010 11:22PM
Those two words aren't even close in etymology. The word 'brassière' is from the Old French word 'bracière', meaning 'arm protector'. The word 'brazier' is of Egyptian origin, predating Old French by over 1,500 years. Their phonetic similarity is purely coincidental.

Could you be more serious and kill the fun any more if you tried?
Anuillae Jun 20th 2010 6:25AM
Coincidental or not, their phonetic similarity exists, and that is what the sentence was talking about. Noone said they were related in any other way.

Honestly, that reminds me alot of this bowl in the Thomas Covenant series, "Lord Foul's Bane" iirc. Great series but depressing as hell
