I wonder whose bright idea it was to give both this and the 25-man dagger Armor penetration?

It's a real shame when the most powerful weapons in an expansion, from its pinnacle encounter, has shoddy itemization for the only spec that has a use for it (assassination).

Not that I'm surprised, Blizzard has made poor gear all expansion - though back in the day they defended their poor itemization with "it's the first raid in the expansion, how would it look if items were perfectly itemized this early? Wait until later for gear that's well itemized."

Guess well itemized weapons is something that'll never happen - pitty, the dps of Rogues will really suffer when Strength melee gets their Shadowmournes.

Is this an Illidan reference?

Who else would The Betrayer be I wonder.

Not one shade of black :P

I don't really think this is a great dagger for Mutilate spec. (As of this patch) Armor Penetration isn't optimal for Mutilate spec.

overall disappointing loot for Assassination Rogues, whether its 10 or 25 man.

you are not prepared!

Illidan should have been one of those e-peen kids who likes to show off their warglaives instead of using their most powerful weapon...

Arthas is based on many characters among the stories and legends of reality.
He may be compared to king Arthur, both take up a blade from a "stone", and become kings by doing so. They are both helped by intelligent Wizards (Merlin, Kel'thuzad).
He may also be compared to Mordred, for he killed his father in the same manner.

There is only ONE other character among the myths and stories that resembles to Arthas. He also picked up a sword that made him king, after which he killed his father and turned against his own people. The name of this character is unknown, but the name of the sword was Stormfury.

There is also a sword in Diablo named Stormfury, the only which can kill Kabraxis.

Please note this dagger will be extremely useful for Cataclysm leveling

Have you seen the model, it looks like its made of ice! It's going to melt in Cataclysm :(

On serious note.
Thats very weird way to make items to drop from hardest fight in the game(10man) just for leveling or "useful in future", kinda like if Thori'dal would've been useless for dps but useful for leveling cos of no ammo (yeah yeah its legendary but you know..).

I guess blizzard noticed this and they are going to fix it on next minor patch:

Stormfury, Black Blade of the Betrayer: Armor penetration replaced with expertise.

Комментарий от rednas3636

hmm, very describing name
is it black? no, is it a 'blade'? no, did The betrayer used it? no :)

i wonder how you poke with this dagger. Or even slash. I think it's more suit for bashing.

Nearly all the items in the Lich King's loot table are weapons he stole and corrupted during his reign. Most of them were originally owned by characters Arthas defeated or killed, and many of the latter had their souls stolen by the runeblade Frostmourne. They represent the impressive arsenal which was unable to overcome Frostmourne's singular power, placing its strength above all other weapons, until it was shattered by the Ashbringer.

Needs more green.

Pfffft, someone's clearly forgotten those shiny green blades you lucky rogues got last time.

Комментарий от Shadeborn

Expertise?

The rogues that will be in this raid will most likely already be expertise capped, so it's a waste of stat imo.

What item are we supposed to drop, not to overcap? Shadow Seeker's Tunic? Footpads of Impending Death Or pershaps the tier trousers Shadowblade Legplates? :-O

What I find more amusing, is the fact it's clearly a reference to Illidan, yet when the hell did Illidan use a dagger? He dropped two giant warglaives, both of which are legendary items, might I add.

Warglaive =/= Dagger?

Комментарий от Galvius

im guessing since its the blade of the betrayer, the Lich king mustve stolen it from illidan when he defeated him atop icecrown citadel.

Комментарий от Zeldendorf

Did no one else honestly catch the similarities in the names between this and this?
