Buyers beware: The 365 2h sword is 3.5 speed

Ghatok	wysłany: 14 lat temu Lets keep the discussion civil please, so the thread doesn't get locked. The tooltip apparently is bugged. Full discussion here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2842886834?page=1 Per the suggestion of one of the posters in that thread, posting this in general. I keep seeing so many people post in that thread that say "I wish I'd known before I bought it." Edit: People think they're getting this: http://db.mmo-champion.com/s/99658/masterwork-elementium-deathblade/ But they're really getting this: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/item/70164 Note the tooltip in-game on both the pattern and the sword is wrong.
Zarhym	wysłany: 14 lat temu The reason for this confusion stemmed from a quirk in the way item hotfixes have to be applied, unfortunately. We hope to have the item's data completely corrected soon so others are not caught off guard by what the tooltip currently states. Yes, obviously Blizzard needs to fix the tooltip on the pattern and the item if they're not going to just make it 3.80 like it ought to be. But, I think the real question ought to be: Why isn't it 3.80 anyway? At 3.80 speed, the weapon was over-performing relative to its cost and the ease with which it can be obtained.
Zarhym	wysłany: 14 lat temu We wanted this weapon to be roughly on par with weapons from the previous tier, since it can be purchased from the Auction House. It wasn't intended to compete as much with current raid drops, as it felt weird that a strength-based DPS crafted weapon was more attractive than some of its counterparts.
