Blue Confirmed: Thunderfury Upgrade!
Now normally I’m not one to post about news, but this news is big… beyond big.
My head’s spinning. I don’t know how hard or expensive the quest line will be to upgrade it nor do I know how soon this will be implemented (hopefully 2.5!!!), but I’m definitely doin’ it!
I can just see it now… LF39M MC.

About time! I was growing both concerned and disappointed with each patch feeling as though all the hard work and effort put into TF acquisitions over the years were going to be forgotten and progressively outclassed by new items.
While many may argue that TF’s popularity among tanks never went away, personally, I can’t wait to see Shattrath filled with them again. \o/
Do you think it will be an ilvl scale buff or new stats/effects?

Nice April Fool’s. I chuckled for a bit.

Hilarious…
…. now, to the new 2.4 badges pick list!
I know there are some very nice [and very expensive] new badge gear in 2.4… but just keep in mind, is it really sensible to save up 100 badges, when you still have rare items that could be more cheaply upgraded to some of the best gear in the game for much less…
… food for thought.

As happy as I am to see something like this, and I might convince the guild to start getting ready to run MC for me, I can’t help but wonder if today’s date may have something to do with the post….
[Reply]

[Reply]
April 1st, 2008 at 6:42 am
LOL. Happy April Fools Day to you too. Would have cried tears of joy if it was true though.
[Reply]
April 1st, 2008 at 6:43 am
Why would you use this to tank over a two-handed weapon? I’d rather use Sulfuras. It does more damage so my Whirlwinds hit harder when I tank. And the fire ‘thorns’ ability is wicked! Sometimes I just stand there and let them kill themselves.

One of the guys I used to raid with was a raider way back when MC first opened up and when his guild saw an orange item called [right binding of the windseeker] they had no idea what it was or what an orange item signified and they actually did give it to a hunter. Which is almost as the druid that had Sulfuras.
