Phat Loot Phriday: Rainbow Generator

"So, let me get this straight," Lolegolas said slowly. "Abercrombie never spoke with you."
"Vile sindorei!" Sylvanas said. "I am the Dark Lady of Iambic Poetry! I speaketh not to yon humans as if yea verily hath been here forsooth."
Throgg counted on his fingers as he repeated with the woman had said. "I swear, nobody speak normal, nowadays."
"They probably think it's great story," Miranda commented. She reclined on a step, tapping her staff impatiently against a foot. While the Glinean maintained his iron dwarf costume, the human girl had let hers drop as soon as they saw Sylvanas. Curiously, the guards did not attack her on sight. "All deep and meaningful."
"Look, your Angstfulness," Lolegolas muttered. "We need to know what Abercrombie is up to. If you can't talk to us like a normal person, we'll have to take drastic action."
"Action? When the darkness dwells in my blood, this crawling in my skin doth make for a broken crown upon my head!"
"OK, that's it," the blood elf muttered. "I didn't want to have to do this, but I'm tired of you quest-fetching bums. Behold the awesome power of the Rainbow Generator!"
Lolegolas grasped the front of his shirt and tore it open. A small disc hanging on his chest whirred loudly, and a bright rainbow exploded forward. The many-hued light engulfed Sylvanas, hiding her from view. Only a few seconds passed before the light faded away. The undead woman could not immediately be seen.
"Oh, crap," Miranda said. "You turned Sylvanas into a dog."
Item details: Rainbow Generator is a trinket (+14 stamina, +9 crit) that creates a rainbow when used. You get it by completing the quest Open Their Eyes in Felwood.

in b4 MLP:FIM and/or Care Bears references.

That's fine. I still think every Bear Druid should have one. If you can use this while looking like a Furbolg, even better.

Actually, it reminded me more of this Weebl cartoon.

Open your eyes
I see your eyes are open
Wear no disguise for me
Come into the open
When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame
Always, I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony,
Oh love

IIRC, this needs a non-friendly target to create a rainbow (it creates a rainbow from you to the target). I may be wrong - it's been a while since I dusted this off and used it. Makes it less convenient for showing off the rainbow.

If my interpretation of what happened is correct, the "Sylvanas" in todays story would have been a non-friendly target. See my post below.

(For the record, the Rainbow Generator is the most awesome thing to ever come out of Felwood and I intend to get it on every damn character I can, no matter what level they might be.)

The power of HEART!

Okay, so at first I was like why is Sylvanas talking like that, she never talks like that.
Now, putting together all the pieces, I'm imagining someone (likely Abercrombie) replaced the real Sylvanas with either a female Worgen, or an actual dog, and put an orb-of-deception like spell to make them look like Sylvanas. And the Rainbow Generator broke the effect.
I'm assuming when Miranda said "You turned Sylvanas into a dog" she meant a Worgen, not an actual dog like the mastiff, but it's impossible to tell without further context.
Sound about right?

Well...at least she didn't get turned into Pinkie Pie...yet.
I am sort of imagining Sylvanas as the unhappy straight haired Pinkie while she is talking all prosetastic. Regular Sylvanas is normal bouncy Pinkie Pie because there is no better psychotic pony.
(I wouldn't have gone to the ponies...BUT Ametrine expected a MLP:FIM reference.)
You would think the Undercity guards would be upset at even a Blood Elf (or is he an Iron Dwarf?) zapping the Banshee Queen with rainbows. O_o;;

Dammit Lolegolas, this is a disaster! Now we're going to have to....

Greatest item ever. Especially during pre Cata, and I pulled Marrowgar with it, and in vent you just hear,
"Bapo... did, you just pull him with a rainbow?"
Pyromelter Feb 10th 2012 3:59PM
I seriously just lol'ed at that (the image and the thought of the vent conversation)

Went into Org and used it on the newly level 85 elite Gamon. He one shot my body out of the building with his charge.
Totally worth it.
Later 3 of us coordinated a care bear stare at him. He didn't cheer up. :(
Edymnion Feb 10th 2012 4:07PM
Yeah, it requires a non-friendly target as the rainbow actually does do minor amounts of damage. Only catch is that the rainbow is CHANNELED, which means you're totally defenseless while doing your pittance of damage.
Still damned funny to carebear stare a boss though.

My greatest sadness is that this can't be used on friendly targets and that you can't switch trinkets after entering combat. :'(
facepalmer2 Feb 10th 2012 7:38PM
Omg, Thank You! How did I not know of this epic-ness! Totally going to go do it right now!
