Phat Loot Phriday: Very Manly Staff
by Michael Gray 
Mar 4th 2011 at 4:00PM
Throgg's ears perked, flicking back and forth almost like a curious dog. The canine impression was enhanced by the way the orc cocked his head to the side. "What is that, Lolegolas?"
The thing in the blood elf's hands was ridiculously huge, with spikes jutting from its head. "This is the Very Manly Staff."
"I can see that," Throgg replied. "But, uh, you can't use it." "I know," Lolegolas said. "Caster weapon. But, still, it's goes absolutely wonderfully with my stuff, don't you think? Maybe I can just kind of ... saunter ... around Silvermoon with it. Show it off."
"Or you could get a real weapon," Throgg countered.
"Yes, but it wouldn't be so damned manly. This staff is clearly longer and manlier than your average staff."
"This means you're no longer allowed to say one word about my gun, you know that, right?"
Phat Loot Phriday brings you the scoop on some of the most ... interesting ... loot in the World of Warcraft, often viewed through the eyes of the stalwart Throgg and indelible Lolegolas. Suggest items you think we should feature by emailing mikeg@wowinsider.com.

I used this until I got a heroic staff.

This is indeed a Very Manly Staff

I was going to do this quest on my female troll mage, but she's quite 'manly' enough already!
That and the fact staff model is ugly, it's a pain to find groups for CoC any more, and the crafted BS dagger + inscription offhand is better if you have the cash to burn.
Belfs though, yeah...need all the manliness they can get;)

It was Lolegas who had the gun last week, not Throgg

I have this on my Mage, who is also a gnome.
I'll leave it at that... :)

"Ohhhh if you want it to be possessive, it's just I-T-S, but if you want it to be a contraction than it's I-T-apostrophe-S! Scalawag!"

I AM A MAN!!!
The staff say so.
Kvothe Mar 4th 2011 4:18PM
It's purple and looks longer than your average staff or scepter...

That's what she said!

His staff is a good one.

Named after the mage from the Elitist Jerks guild on Mal'Ganis-H, Manly. The Manliest Mage who ever Maged.

Men don't wear dresses and fling sparkly glowing balls around. They wear large metal plates and hit things with large sharp objects.

A very manly staff should have Strength and Stam and be for Druid tanks.
Oldbear Mar 4th 2011 6:57PM
We (bear tanks) don't need some sissy staff to look manly... we're freakin' bears!!!

So, you're saying your staff requires a strength and stamina boost?
