Phat Loot Phriday: Rage of Ages

"Sir," Nefarian's wyrm-servant said. "Chimaeron's dead, and it seems Atramedes isn't long for this world."
The dragon in human form removed his napkin from his shift and laid it upon the table. "I should prepare myself for these guests, then, I suppose."
"Guest, sir," the little red whelping corrected. "It's just one."
"One?" Nefarian asked in a shocked voice.
"An orc, sir. He seems very, very angry. I've chosen this necklace for you to wear into battle tonight."
"Rage of Ages," Nefarian said. "He's that wrathful, is he?"
"He simply keeps screaming, 'I say thee nay!' and 'Throgg smash!'"

I gotta say, this is slowly becoming one of the coolest columns to read on Wow Insider.

What happens when someone takes out Throgg's best friend? Throgg comes knocking on your door!
Be ready to have your ass kicked Nefarian!

Come on Lolegolas. It's already been a week, corpse runs don't take -that- long.
Natsumi Mar 25th 2011 6:47PM
I don't know about that, have you ever been sent to the OLD graveyard while doing Deadmines? Ye gods that bug was annoying.
Drakkenfyre Mar 25th 2011 7:33PM
Nothing is more annoying than BRD.
Run across a zone. Run across half another zone. Run up the chain, run thru the building/rock island. Run down the chain. Find your way to the correct tunnel, enter the instance portal.

Good lord, I'm holding my breath for the epic conclusion. Please let Lolegolas be okay...

Indeed, quality stuff!
But I think you meant "shirt", not "shift". Are you guys looking for a proofreader? If so, I'm damn good, fast, and cheap.

Shift can mean a chemise, a loose-fitting elegant undershirt. Seems more appropriate wear for Moroes than Nefarian, though.

I'm not sure this post is very accurate, last I checked Nef was a zombie with his head sewn back on. I'm not sure Zombie Nef can shapeshift (let alone hold an intelligible conversation that isn't on the topic of brains ;) ).
I could be wrong, it HAS been a bit since I saw the model as my raid group is still beating up the other bosses in BWD and BoT.
Namus Mar 25th 2011 7:52PM
If you pay attention, every time you down a boss in BWD Nef says something about the boss you just defeated, and he is pretty eloquent (for a zombie dragon).
Hih Mar 25th 2011 9:06PM
And in the heroic fights, Nef comments and "interferes" with your raid in some way. Giving Maloriak a stronger black phial to drink for instance, and destroying gongs in the Atramedes fight. Nef is no regular zombie ;)

Nefarion is NOT zombie neg. Nefarion recieved a proper res spell from his daddy. Ony on the other hand, was not given such treatment by daddy and had to accept the ghoul res from her brother.
Nefarion, in human form, was an extremely charming statesman, and there is no reason to believe he would be wearing anything less than the most snobbish of clothing.

Zombie Nef can still shapeshift. After you clear BWD up to Nef (so 5/6), he shows up as Nefarius, standing on the lower bit of the ring outside the lava pit. He's wearing a black recolour of DK T11. http://www.wowhead.com/npc=41379

Nefarian has to be one of my favorite villains simply because of his witty villain dialogue and presence throughout his instances. One of the funniest things ever, in the old AQ40 Scepter of Shifting Sands chain, if you failed the Red Shard chain in BWL, Nef sent you a letter congratulating you on not saving the world. People failed on purpose to get the note (before trying again!). I'm glad he's running commentary through Blackwing Descent.
I'm loving how this column is set up, and am also awaiting Lolegolas' fate, cheering Throgg on as more cool loot is revealed in an entertaining way.

I actually have screenshots of some of the things Nefarious said in Blackrock Mountains, back in the day. My favourite is still "Foolss, kill the one in the dress!"
Balgus Mar 25th 2011 6:44PM
you forgot the "where you get it" and "how you get rid of it" parts.
Natsumi Mar 25th 2011 6:51PM
details details lol
Drakkenfyre Mar 25th 2011 8:02PM
The "where it comes from" part might be answered by the fact that Nefarian is wearing it.
