Throgg could only dully nod. "I thought for sure Exarch Rossi would judge you the finest model in Azeroth."
"I know, right?" Lolegolas pulled back a sleeve to show his magnificent, flexing bicep. "I mean, what does a stupid old axe have over me?"
"Well," Throgg carefully ventured. "Its proc is pretty sweet."
"I'm sweet!" Lolegolas exclaimed balefully. "Sweet like ice wine! Sweet like the first kiss of autumn, that's me!"
"I know. And, well, the Drake Talon Cleaver is kind of a limited time thing," Throgg said. "With the world ending and all, maybe the Exarch wanted to acknowledge something old."
Lolegolas tried not to pout. "I guess."
"Yes," Throgg agreed. "According to Exarch Rossi, the Drake Talon Cleaver is the best model in Azeroth."

Well ain't that one fiiiine specimen of an axe...
Personally I think The Untamed Blade looks moah shinnnny.

I don't know about THE best... I'm more partial to the Soul-Render myself.

A vendetta isn't much of vendetta if you re-direct it... O _o

(I do believe you owe me one, Cutaia. :| )

Redirect it? But Vendetta doesn't use combo points...

This is the weirdest way I've ever seen someone attempt to troll someone else.

I must respectfully disagree - not with the modeling call: Surely Lolegolas is the winner of THAT contest.
However, as far as axes go, this is definitely the superior of the two:

Yes, Draconic Avenger all the way!

Sorry, man, I had both. DTC wins in a walk.

Both the Drake Talon Cleaver and the Draconic Avenger are in my collection of "awesome weapon models" but the Cleaver just looks more awesome.

I gotta say I'm on the side of the Draconic Avenger as well.

Ok I'm confused, is this new loot added to an old raid for the cata events? The way phat loot friday has gone with the people talking back and forth is officially not all that great anymore If I don't know what the point of the item is.

The point is that the weapon looks swank. Wear it, and check out the hidden bonus to your swagger.
Joerendous Nov 19th 2010 9:30PM
It's an axe. One chops things with it. Preferably things with floating red name tags.
Hollow Leviathan Nov 19th 2010 9:07PM
How does it know to proc the 240 damage only when it will be fatal?
Necromann Nov 19th 2010 9:11PM
Because it is that cool.
Ostentaneous Nov 19th 2010 9:10PM
Ok, I'm confused. Is this a new drop added to BWL? The role playing era of phat loot friday officially needs to end when I no longer know what you are talking about.
Ostentaneous Nov 19th 2010 9:11PM
well apparently my first post did go through
Janaan Nov 19th 2010 9:55PM
Obviously, the winner of the Model contest SHOULD have been Foxlight. Just sayin'.
Eddy Nov 19th 2010 10:18PM
Ohh frak. Now that's stuck in my head, just from your mention of it. The only counter I have it this one- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU2ftCitvyQ
