As for the Felhunter vs. a Zergling debate, let's look at a few things:

- Eyes: Felhunters do not have then, the little guy on the staff does
- "Four Stingers": The four objects that appear to be stingers which are located at NW, NE, SW, and SE. The felhunter does not have these.
- Felhunter hair: The felhunter is kinda shaggy, the thing on the staff does not.

The conclusion that can be drawn from this is that the staff does not show a felhunter. Whether or not it's a zergling is up to speculation.

insane staff, with all the spell haste rating stacked up along with the

"Bracers of Nimble Thought"

https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=32586

...and "Mantle of Nimble Thought"

https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=32587

...and "Waistwrap of Infinity"

https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=32256

...you are definately getting crazy numbers.

That's 153 spell haste rating total

And don't forget good ol'

https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=27683

proc chance on every 45 sec but boy, it stacks up nicely. With this thing aswell you're on a whopping 453 spell haste rating for 6 sec, talk about pyroblast / soulfire abuse.

It's worth raiding again folks :>

If you people think this is a zergling, your wrong. A zergling doesent look like a felhunter, it looks like a hydralisk with 2 legs. http://www.gondiaz.com/Phill_Blizzard/Zerg_Zergling_002.jpg
Here is a pick of an original zergling.

The creature on the staff is a felhunter, so please.. Stop arguing about it. IT IS a felhunter.

Spell Haste is getting a buff in patch 2.2 from 21 to 15.7 haste rating contributing to a 1% reduction in casting times.

Passive ability value:

2.1 = 2.61% reduction in casting time @ 70.

2.2 = 3.5% reduction in casting time @ 70

Zhar'doom, Greatstaff of the Devourer. Zergling Hero unit is known as "Devouring One". Definetly NOT a fel hunter

The face looks like a murloc, the body looks like a felhunter. So, logically it's a fel murloc!

Комментарий от nickolina

The Blade/Offhand combo from MH is excellent for a caster that needs spell hit, if like me however you’re an Arcane Mage then this Staff probably suites you slightly more. Not only will it be cheap in terms of dkp but it also totals more utility once the spell hit is discounted:

Tempest + Chronicle = 350.58 points (but only if your hit capped)
Zhar'doom = 365.25

Patch 2.4 will see this item become a much more useful and much more sought-after item for many classes as spell haste WILL reduce the global cooldown.

Комментарий от 145561

In Starcraft, the hero version of a zergling was a "Devouring One." This being the Greatstaff of The Devourer, I think it's safe to say that this was intended to at the very least resemble a zergling.

Комментарий от 168743

very good staff

Комментарий от 127342

Okay lets see...Zerglings are not this color at all. However, anyone noticed the fact that it could be a MIXTURE and NOT only one of the guesses -.-

So, everyone is right! (unless you say it's an ultralisk or doomguard ;) ).

Комментарий от 126777

It's a twisted love child between a zergling and felhunter!

Комментарий от 207871

Zerglings don't have antennas.
The Devourer probably refers to Sargeras or perhaps Kil'Jaeden, as Illidan had dealings with both of them.

There is little doubt in my mind that the graphic is representative of a felhunter. Although i wouldn't be surpised if when designing felhunters Blizzard borrowed heavily from their already finished zerglings.

Either way this is unquestionable the best staff, and best caster wep in general till Kil'Jaeden if your hit capped.

Can't wait to get it ;)

This would, Imo, a mix of a Felhunter and a Zergling, since it got features from both. Felhunter-style back and "tentacles" (both on the top of the zergling, and on the underside of it). Though the Stingers should if I'm not mistaken, from the zerglings, so is the head since Felhunters has got no eyes.

Комментарий от Teemu

What the hell is that thing? lol

Комментарий от 239723

It seems to have eyes, little green ones, on the 3D model viewer O_O

Looks very Fellhunter-like to me. But it's fairly obvious that the Fellhunter was inspired by Zerglings, so that debate is a moot point.

To me it seems a reference to Zhar the Mad from Diablo 1

This is the coolest staff I've ever seen. Any idea if there are visual enchantment effects on it? Would hate to see it's pretty face covered by some cloud of magic.

Комментарий от 73686

Sadly, this is a staff whose model remains unique. I would love to see a level 80 version of this eventually. It was one of the cooler looking staves out there, if only to wear in town to make people think twice about whether or not it was actually a felhound on your back.

Комментарий от 360460

I won this just the other day on my warlock and it immediately became my favorite weapon in the entirety of WoW. It either needs to be remade for level 80(Or for 85 in Cata) or made into another heirloom. Either one would be cool.

Комментарий от 72869

I can say with some certainty today that enchants will not show up on this weapon. Got a second one today so I was willing to test on it. Put Fiery Weapon on it and it has no visual effect whatsoever. Personally this is just what I wanted since things like Power Torrent are such strong effects they would probably envelop the staff head and make it impossible to see. So, good news for transmogrifiers who wanted to keep a clean-looking staff, and bad news for those that didn't.

Комментарий от 721442

This staff combined with the Tier 7 Warlock Head makes for a very demonic appearance. I like it.

Комментарий от 984353

This is most definitely a Felhunter, and here is why.

-Fur pattern and colors match those on Felhunters precisely.
-Horns match those on Felhunters.
-Antennas match those on Felhunters.
-Head is about the correct color scheme for a Felhunter.
-Front legs match precisely what a stretched Felhunter's front legs would look like, as they have hooves, which would stretch in the same manner if you were to stretch them this way.
-Tail looks exactly like the one of a Felhunter, of course a little thicker so you may hold it securely. After all, this Felhunter has been fashioned into a staff.
-Eyes. Felhunter eyes are, indeed green with fel energies, although most Felhunters don't have visible eyes at all. Since this is a Greatstaff, it is logical to assume the Felhunter used has been an exceptional Felhunter.
-Name. Zhar'Doom is a typical Felhunter name and matches the patter used for generation of Felhunter names. Probably The Devourer is a reference to a Warlock character, or Warlocks in general, as Warlocks are called sometimes throughout the game "Devourers", "Soul Eaters", and other names referring to the act of consuming souls, as their most iconic and notable ability is "Drain Soul", which drains a target's soul, turning it into Soul Shards, which the Warlock later would use to empower their spells, essentially destroying completely the soul and "devouring" it like it was food. Felhunters, on the other hand are iconic for their ability to Devour Magic and feed on Mages and anyone using magic near them, as it is their natural food they eat to live. Greatstaff is the naming concept Blizzard use when they make a weapon significantly better in aesthetics than its peers of the same level and bracket, like Greatsword of the Ebno Blade, which has been made with great attention to detail, with visible Death Knight runes pulsing in icy blue all over its surface and is still widely used by Death Knight characters for Transmogrification, or Greataxe of the Ebon Blade, which while not so easily notable still features visible Death Knight runes on its surface when one looks closer and is still very beautiful for an axe, even today.

Basically, this is a Warlock staff, made to appeal to Warlocks, with a reference to Warlocks in its name and a Warlock Felhunter "Magic Devourer" appearance. Greatstaff refers to the fact that it is exceptional, rather than to anything else.

Having said all that, I think I suddenly remembered it's about time I dropped by old Illidan in the Black Temple for a small party with some friends.

Id love to see this on a hunter w/ beastslaying (=

Комментарий от Allakhazam

its a warlock staff over a mage/preist staff.
and before u say it, not just because it looks like a felhunter. it has more stamina than intellect which means less crit, which since a warlocks flavour is supposed to be dot, rather than burst dmg, hints at a lock. u can get better crit on other weapons or weapon/offhand combos for a mage.
not that this is by any means a warlock only weapon. a mage, Spreist or boomkin druid would have just as much claim to this, but i would say let the warlock have it as they require stamina > intelligence > spirit.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Ekke, from Nihilum (Magtheridon EU Horde) has this. Dropped from world first Illidan Stormrage down, on June 5. Above poster is correct, missing "Equip: Improves spell haste rating by 55." Absolutely insane good staff.

Hah...Zhar'Doom is the name of my succubus O.o

Комментарий от Thottbot

I love it how all these people argue over what type of staff this is, and they will never even come even close to being in a guild that even raids BT. The truth is, staffs have always had large raw stats (int , stam, spirit) and MH/OH combos always come out with more spell stats (dmg, crit, hit) If you are lacking int/stam a staff is probably you're best choice, sacraficing the 20 or so spell dmg for the extra stats. If you are fine with your int/stam then a MH/OH is probably you're best choice.

Personally I see how this could be a nice addition to any caster's arsenal. There are several peices coming out that you can stack spell haste without breaking tier4/5/6 bonuses (belts, bracers, weapons)

I'm kind of upset about how this will affect the 1.5 second casts most people have. Spamming them will get old when you start hitting you global cooldown.

This is a STAFF, Classes that can wield staffs: Mage, Warlock, Priest, Hunter, Shaman, Warrior, Druid (in no particular order)

Classes you will never see wielding this staff: HUNTER - WARRIOR

Excluding any class based on Popular stat builds for any spec is

Комментарий от Thottbot

Christ, I can't believe there's so much argument over which class gets this staff.

IF YOU ARE A DAMAGE DEALING CASTER, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO THIS STAFF!

If you're willing to spend the DKP on it, by all means, it's yours.

Chances are these idiots who are arguing on here will never even step foot in BT, let alone down Illidan to see this drop.

Комментарий от Thottbot

This would be great for an affliction lock, when raiding keeping dots up is first but between that a couple searing pains and/or shadowbolts should be thrown in.
An affliction lock like say... clinkz who got top dps on Nihilums first Illidan down raids like this, watch the vid of their first down.

But like alot of people have said this is good for ANY caster and its up to the guild to decide who gets it.

But just incase, dont let any hunters come with to BT =P

Комментарий от Thottbot

stuffed baby felhound on a pole. cutest staff ever.

Комментарий от Thottbot

P.S. If your weapon moves on its own, its a keeper

Комментарий от Thottbot

If your guild can kill the boss that drops this item, then giving it to the most beneficial player isn't an issue... why? so you can run BT 0.0001% faster?

DKP, nobody cries, nobody hates the guildmaster, it doesn't depend on personal opinion, etc. Also, if someone already has an F'ing awesome 2H or MH/OH, and this is only a minor upgrade... then that is going be much more important than class or spec. DKP favors giving gear to players who will find it a larger upgrade, which is actually what helps the guild MOST. On top of all that, players which attend regularly (helping out the guild a greater % of the time) will have more DKP saved up... do i need to finish this thought?
just DKP, end of story, all done, yay.
(yeah i'm a guildmaster)

NOT related to who should get it: Personally, I think that it would benefit a Dest-Lock "slightly" more than any other class. I do think that bliz had locks in mind when they made it, thus the felhunter-popcicle style.

But the only thing that's "obvious" about its stats, is that it'd rock for any DPS-caster. It is definitely a PVE-RAID oriented piece, in PVP the name of the game is burst dmg and aoe. But it will rock for ANY DPS oriented caster in any raid. Honestly you'll probably see the most total offensive return in the hands of any of the top DPS-casters, regardless of class/spec, as long as its a major upgrade on what they have already.

I'm a lock myself, I'm spec'd 30/31/0 currently for some PVPing, raidspec I'm 30/21/10. I'll probably switch out to a 40/0/21 or a dedicated Destro when i actually hit my damage cap. I also play a mage sometimes. and none of that has any bearing on who should/would/could get this stick.

Its not "obviously for _____", If you are desperate for more guild firepower then you can't GET the staff. If you can get the staff, then your guild is not hard up for firepower, and its not a 'huge' upgrade for anyone anyway. The most *guild* benefit would be to just hand it to whomever had the crappiest weapon out of the top DPS-casters. But the most fair and sensible would be to DKP.
(note: guilds live and die on whether they're fair & sensible. 'Happy Guild Members' is the best buff you can get for the guild. everyone should understand why the winner got the item, and accept it, DKP ensures this.)

The only time a guild really needs to worry about exactly who gets an item, is when that choice will significantly affect overall guild performance. And the only guildees who are typically going to be involved in a guild performance altering choice, are the Main Tank & MT's healpriest harem. Anything that makes them rock slightly more = more drops/less wipes for everybody. This piece doesn't relate to them, so just DKP. Or hell, give it to your worst DPS-caster, spread the aggro-love... there's so many ways to second guess. but why? you already know what to do... D K P

Комментарий от Thottbot

PS - what's with all the Lock/Spriest hating on each other?

Lock & Spriest is the sweetest combination of complimentary skills since priest/tank. Spriest has VE, which means infinite health/mana for locks, and hopefully also shadow weaving & misery tallents topped off. And in return locks give curse of shadows, and improved shadowbolt to the Spriest.

any 'good' lock loves having Spriests around
& any 'good' Spriest loves having locks around

sure you'll argue over some loot, but you'll both go way up on the damage meter... which is kinda the point of the loot anyway.

Guys...

I did'nt want to have to explain the obvious but I feel I have to. *Sigh

Long ago when Blizzard Entertainment decided to create the legendary game known as "World of Warcraft" there was a huge amount of excitement at the endless possibilities, and awsome things they could design into the game.

One of these ideas was to the ability for your character to aquire one of a kind gear. We all know these items as "Epic" pieces which we so happily get over joyed for when it's something we want for our characters.

Blizzard realized that in time, any player devoted enough to the game would seek to obtain the best gear he or she could get their mouse clicking fingers on.

The problem was that World of Warcraft would be boring and stupid if any old person was walking around with the cream of the crop gear.

So to prevent this from happening, BLACK TEMPLE was created. As a great addition to the World of Warcraft storyline, it mainly served as a dream world for 99.9% of WOW players.

Only a select few were favored by the Gods to complete Black Temple, the rest of us however will be running Deadmines for the one satisfaction and self understanding that in our little world we are the best and can destroy all the pirates with one hit!

For those that dream a little more than others, there is Thottbot.com

The one true place where anyone can come argue about what class this staff is for, or just act like they own the staff when in reality they have never even set foot in Black Temple.

Well anyways that's how it is guys... a sad truth :)

Комментарий от Thottbot

poor fel hunter!

Комментарий от Thottbot

Spell haste for a raiding caster is arguably one of the most leet stats to have. In long fights and even just extended periods of time clearing trash the spell haste allows for "that" many more spells to be casted due to the extra quickness. Hit capped is of course top priority.

As for who should get this staff, any shaman or hunter who thinks they should get this that is too damn stupid to get themselves a much more beneficial mace or polearm, respectively, is pretty much the FAILURE. As a general rule a staff with int, stam, and spell crit/dmg/haste/hit should typically be reserved for a clothie; shadowpriests, warlocks, and mages WILL benefit the most from this.

A warlock in my guild just got this, it dropped this past wednesday, I personally am aiming for the Tempest/Chronicle combo simply to boost my hit a little bit, and although haste kicks ass spell dmg is still important.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Everyone is going omg spell haste... am I the only one that noticed bonus damage is rediculous as well =P?
