Пожалуйста +1 если вам нравятся мои переводы. Странно… чём же руководствовался Близард, делая ЛЕГЕНДАРНУЮ, поистине легендарную вещь всего лишь рядовым артефактом. Но, вот его история:

Череп Гул'дана – могущественный артефакт, череп чародея орков Гул’Дана. Использовался для всех видов демонической активности, от создания порталов, до осквернения Ясеневого леса. В конце концов, почти всю его силу впитал Илидан Ярость Бури. Даже изрядно ослабевший, он всё равно имеет силу и находится в собственности Илидана.

История

После смерти коварного чернокнижника Гул’Дана, его череп превратился в тотем, полный демонической энергии. Некоторое время его хранил низко ранговый Костеглод. Череп использовал Нер’Зул для открытия порталов в другие миры, ему так же требовалась Книга Медива, Глаз Даларана и Скипетр Саргераса. Аллерия Ветрокрылая и Данат Троллебой пытались украсть череп и книгу Медива у Нер’Зула во время кампании Альянса. Когда Кадгар использовал Череп и Книгу для закрытия тёмного Портала (подробнее), он пропал. Годами позднее он снова появился в Азероте и использовался Пылающим Легионом для осквернения леса. Силы черепа впитал Илидан, став полудемоном, полуэльфом. Совершив это, он нанёс чудовищный удар по Легиону и убил Тихондриуса. При помощи черепа он проник в могилу Саргераса для того, чтобы получить Глаз Саргераса (подробнее).

Точно не известно, как Легион вернул себе Череп. Однако, теперь мы знаем Полуостров Адского Пламени как место расположения Портала… гигантская земля Запределья, где долгое время правил Легион силами Магтеридона. Ходили слухи, что Магтеридон нашёл череп и вернул в Эредар. Хотя никто ещё не знает точно, какой эффект имел артефакт на Илидана.

Статус в наше время

Сейчас Череп заметно ослабел, но Илидан все ещё хранит его, не исключено, что из сентиментальных соображений. Но Череп всё ещё не обессилел. Один из эффектов – возможность превращения носителя в демона. Может стоит отбить его у Илидана?

Уже знаете все о Короле-личе? Пришло время посмотреть на знакомые события с совершенно другой стороны. Почему Сильвана Ветрокрылая поет так печально? Когда сломался Артас Менетил, отважный и доблестный паладин? Почему был сожжен Стратхольм вместе со всеми жителями... а главное, кем? Кто такая Джайна Праудмур? Какой из врагов Плети помог спастись Артасу в Нордсколе? И чья стрела была ближе всех других к сердцу Артаса... история мира Warcraft меняется на ваших глазах

Комментарий от 840939

А я с разработчиками согласен. На данный момент ничего легендарного в черепушке нет. Вот когда легион сиим черепом Хиджал пытался осквернить - череп был легендарен. Когда Илья Свирепый за счет черепа Тикондрусу по рожкам надавал - череп тоже был легендарным... А что сейчас? Илюха выжрал из черепа почти всю магию, то, что сейчас пользователи выбивают в БТ, это не тот череп, обладающий огромной силой... Это лишь бледная тень прошлого величия этого артефакта.

А может он держит его в качестве собеседника? Ведь эта костяшка и разговаривать умеет!

Комментарий от 884660

Ну в принципе череп ослабел еще из-за того, что Кель присасался к этой соске, когда присягнул Иллидану

Ps То, что Иллидан оставил этот череп напоменает 1 очень известную книгу, надеюсь вы догадываетесь, о какой кние я говорю?8)

Комментарий от Morwar

Забавно, что такие предметы попадают к игрокам...

Комментарий от Aldrich

Было бы неплохо сделать для этого предмета особую механику воздействия на Гул`Дана (реплики) в нынешнем контенте, подобно клинкам Аззинота на Иллидана в Источнике Вечности или же Атиеша на Тень Арана в Каражане. Гул`Дан будет приятно удивлён, когда увидит череп альтернативного себя :3

This item has a bit of history to it. During the Third War, after Tyrande freed Illidan from his prison, he sought to defeat the demons in Felwood, particularly Tichondrius. Arthas, already plotting against the dreadlords, told Illidan of the Skull of Gul'dan, saying that it would give him great power if he were to use it. Illidan managed to fight his way to the Skull, and consumed it, giving him his wings, horns, demon form, and all the knowledge the orc warlock once possessed.

Комментарий от frmorrison

If you didn't figure it out, this is the best dps caster trinket in the game by far, so it makes sense that it drops from most likely last boss of the expansion.

This trinket will last until level 80, spell haste scales very well.

Комментарий от Patze

Also this doesn't share cooldown with damage trinkets, so you can have both on same time.

Комментарий от 16226

There's a minor "misspelling" or "lack of words". It should've said: "Increasing spell haste rating by 175 _for_ 20 sec." like the buff says.

Комментарий от dJe781

We can assume that it's gonna be fixed by Blizzard soon. Remind how Mind Quickening Gem + other damage trinkets got fixed in the past ;)
As an Affliction Warlock, I would choose Eye of Magtheridon + this one (instead of Silver Crescent) because of the high +dmg passive bonus which make them remain the best affli trinkets in the game atm.

Комментарий от LeoLeal

Damn! Blizzard Totaly messed Up!

This Item should be a Legendary due to It's importance on the Lore... It is what made Illidan what he is now... Epic for A couple of SP, Haste and Spell hit? Pf...

Комментарий от 49056

This shouldn't be a trinket it should be an offhand cause in War3 he held it in his hand and become demonic

Комментарий от 40225

The reason this isnt legendary is due to the fact that when Illidan consumed the skulls power, be probably took most of the legendary powers with him, hence an epic

Комментарий от Sport

1.98 hit chance and 8.32 haste at lvl 70

Комментарий от 39890

Blizzard is almost making the lore look stupid.

I thought okay killing illidan ~not so big deal, there is dozen other possibilities later on to be the big bosses.

But the items like this. They have affected the whole lore and have been within since the start. This should be atleast Artifact, like unique on whole server.

Комментарий от doombringer

Agreed. There was only one Skull of Gul'dan. If Illidan did not consume it entirely, and it drops intact, it should be a unique, one-per-server Legendary. What constitutes "Legendary" if not this?

Комментарий от Valaran

Lore aspect aside, nothing - until this - makes up for the fact that any mage lucky enough to have it is still using Neltharion's Tear from BWL all the way through Hyjal and BT. I have been wearing it for almost 2 years now; and it's still by far one of the best available mage trinkets in the game.

In my opinion, it was simply about time they added a fitting upgrade to it. Granted, lorewise, they probably could've named it something else.

Комментарий от yoshi245

It would be more fitting as a legendary, even artifact. After all, a relic from one of the most powerful beings in warcraft lore to empower another powerful being? Don't see why not. Well Gorehowl is epic rather than Legendary and that's Hellscream's axe.

Комментарий от 54211

If they just rename it to "Fragment of The Skull of Gul'dan" it would fit better into lore and explain it's diminished powers. And since it's a fragment it should not be a unique item so you can have more than one.

Комментарий от 59450

it's the skull of gul'dan ffs... blizzard really messed up on this one

Комментарий от 67687

Look, the Skull, in the eyes of your character, IS the only one in the world. It's power was diminished by Illidan, and now he's dead.

Комментарий от 5688

I agree with the general consensus that putting this item in now in such a forgettable fashion is a major error on the part of the designers. More proof that different designers of different parts of the game just don't talk to each other.

Lore designers: "Let's make this big storyline about this warlock who starts it all and how even after his death he shapes the future of multiple worlds...etc"

Item designers: "Hey remember that thing that Illidan ate? Wouldn't it be gnarly if he dropped it?"

Комментарий от 56071

I would like to remind everyone of something important...

In warcraft lore, Illidan is said to have ABSORBED it. All that was left was a slightly powerful skull, with a mere fraction of its former power. Also, methinks this is the skull Illidan is so famous for holding and staring at. (BC into movie, before Illidan aggros.)

Комментарий от 40225

Drysc posted the reason this item isn't legendary is because
"Illidan has one hell of a digestive tract"

Комментарий от 67359

I don't see how Lore should influence itemisation... Compare the following: Hakkar, an Old God, probably far far more powerful than any of the dragonflight and arguably much more powerful than Onyxia. Yet compare the difficulty of killing Hakkar to Onyxia and it seems madness. Item relevance to lore is in no way connected to item relative quality. Hence Prince drops Gorehowl.

Комментарий от 67359

Legendary...

Комментарий от 68978

pst-- hakkar is not an old god.

Комментарий от sagetastic

are you positive? I would personally like to see this to believe it. Maybe a screenshot or something?

iirc, there was a very good reason they made you unable to use 2 trinkets at once :)

sure back then it was because you could 1-2 shot anybody because of it, but this plus a regular trinket or another spell haste trinket would have you spewing out spells at alarming rates.

So I would just really like a confirmation, thank you.

Комментарий от Zealot

Dudes wake up! Stop whining about this beeing goten almost everytime you kill Illidan, you dont whine about Sulfuras, Thunderfury, Atiesh and the Warglaives! Jeez they cant be 1 of each! Just think a little! So if its not legendary? Big whoop, this isnt the only item that Blizzard messed up the lore with you KNOW!

Комментарий от Rombus

Why would it be legendary now? Yes, it has a significance in lore, however, Illidan consumed most of its power himself to get him to his current state. What we see now is what's left. There are a lot of important things in lore that drop, that doesn't mean they're legendary or artifact-worthy.

Комментарий от 7285

Fuck Blizzard and their idiots developers, they ruined Warcraft lore with WoW.

And this is the GREATEST proof ever.

How the hell, this is the SKULL OF GUL'DAN, the ONE WHO STARTED ALL after sargeras.

Комментарий от 50072

How much do DPS bother if healers, particularly paladins, wanted to bid on this trinket?

Комментарий от 31065

You can't have every item that pertains to lore be legendary, I'm sorry.
If any trinket should have that status, it should be Neltharion's Tear, since it came from one of the Aspects.
But it isn't, and neither is this trinket.
Besides, wouldn't you rather have a decently good chance of obtaining this (assuming you can kill Illidan), as opposed to a highly miniscule chance of getting a quest item off him, then go through a long, drawn-out process to get the final item, ala Thunderfury?
Or, going off how Atiesh was obtained, pick up 40-some-odd skull fragments inside Black Temple, Kill Illidan for a quest item once you have all 40, then go back to Hyjal for some reason or another, then go into a Heroic instance to complete the item?

Комментарий от 19962

Why, exactly, would a healer need Spell hit?

Комментарий от Apotheosis

I don't think Illidan literally ate the skull. He probably just drained it of it's magical powers through some form of spell. I mean the thing IS an Orc skull after all, and while Night Elves may be a bit taller/larger than your standard Human, I doubt their throats are that much bigger, and I know for a fact that a Human can't swallow a skull whole, let alone an Orc skull...

Комментарий от 74684

Well, who knows? Maybe they will have a way to update the skull to make it legendary. Make it some ungodly long quest that takes weeks to get finished. That might provide a way to make it unforgettable.

Hexas - Dethicus

Комментарий от 72942

Good idea hexas. Imo make it an ungodly long quest that you can only do one part a day and requires tons of expensive mats then you end up Purging it of its taint after 14 quests and you get 10G in reward IMO. Now that and the QQ on the forums following would be unforgettable

Комментарий от Sunwind

But it's not a fragment, a fragment is a part of something, a shard, a small peice, it's not, it's still the whole skull. It's power has been consumed by illidan, this is why it is not legendary.

Комментарий от 59001

even if it's powers are consumed i think it should be a legendary item and a bit more powerfull :P
ITS THE ONLY ITEM FFS !!!

Комментарий от 2209

Anyone have the cooldown on this? :)

Комментарий от 19962

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.

Use ability value:

2.1 = 8.33...% reduction in casting time @ 70.

2.2 = 11.14% reduction in casting time @ 70.

Комментарий от 79494

Combine this with Blade of Wizardry (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31336) and Quagmirran's Eye (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27683) for some insane +spell haste rating.

But that of course is common knowledge, 15 hours a day dedicated to raiding, 2.5k gold, and a couple runs through heroic slave pens.

If you managed to do any quests or half read the quest texts, that is his spirit.

Комментарий от 89923

Goes great with Icon of the Silver Crescent, they have the same cooldown, so they work perfectly in a macro together. Just make sure you have the Skull first in the macro, because if you use Icon first it will put a 20 sec cooldown onto other trinkets.

I just use:
/stopcasting
/use The Skull of Gul'dan
/use Icon of the Silver Crescent

Комментарий от lias

Hex Shrunken Head will replace Icon of the Silver Crescent. This trinket combined with Hex Shrunken Head will be a very good jump in DPS over other trinkets in the game.

Комментарий от 35601

Its easier to make the following macro, since I usually swap trinkets and don't want to change my macro every time.

Just use:
/stopcastibg
/use 13
/use 14
/cast

Комментарий от 70510

truly the best caster trinket in-game, particularly for warlocks(ironic isn't it? Gul'dan was a warlock himself)

every time i see a caster with it i grow amazingly jealous, eventhough the spellhit may not have been that important due to huge spellhit on BT loot, it has increased in signifigance with the new patch

items are now more focussed in spellhaste and spellcrit rather then spellhit, making the spellhit in this trinket ever so important to refrain from socketing and enchanting gear with spellhit(allowing raw spelldamage, spellhaste/spelldamage and spellcrit/spelldamage gems)

for any caster, perhaps less for a shadowpriest(a lot of damage over time damage, high spellhit from talents) getting this is a true must

Комментарий от 1038

Using this with Icy veins as a deep fire/ IV spec can give you a powerful and long damage "burst".

Комментарий от Arathian

ok,let's analyze the word "legedary".What it means.It means an item of great power?And the answer is NO.It means an item that has a great important to lore.And I think it had great imortance in lore.Anyway,I have 1 question.I see this picture of the lock having winds and being semi-daemon.You become like that by using that item?

Комментарий от Beltane

DPS compared to the Hex Shrunken Head (assuming fireball mage and ignoring haste/talents):

Hex shrunken head = 88 damage
Skull = 55 damage

So 33 damage difference = 11dps.

For the haste increase alone to equal 11dps, you need:
20/120 = trinket up 1/6 of the time.
1/6 x 11.1% dps = 1.85% dps.
11dps / 1.85% = DPS needed for the skull's DPS to equal the shrunken head's DPS.

Therefore, ignoring the %hit on the skull, if you are doing anything less than 595dps then get the head, otherwise get the skull ;)

Including talents (+15% of spell damage on fireballs for example), the DPS needed for teh skull to be better would be slightly higher, but not by much.

Also - with the skull you can change some enchants/sockets to get some crit/haste rather than hit.

Комментарий от 46812

Just to answer your question, you do not get the wings when you activate this trinket.
The wings come from the Hood of the Malefic (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31051).

Yet, the green glow comes from the trinket.

Equip: Improves spell hit rating by 25 (1.98% @ L70).
Equip: Increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 55.
Use: Tap into the power of the fragment, increasing spell haste rating by 175 (11.1% @ L70) for 20 sec. (2 Min Cooldown)

(A fragment of the once all powerful skull of Gul'dan)

Комментарий от 64436

It depends on your other gear, making a comparison like that isn't a viable mathematical assessment of the two. You'd have to kill Illidan to get this so you can make some assumptions about the other items and plug them in, then check against sunwell tier 6 too. I won't do it but if you could I'm sure it'd be useful :) Also this would be used with Icy Veins, might stack differently than spell dmg....

Комментарий от 102479

Talking about a Illidan drop and 600 DPS in one Sentence ...
And "ignoring hit" - hit is the most important and cheapest "dmg" stat you can get and in most cases you can safe hit on other Equipment Parts (especially gems) and get more Spelldmg/crit/haste there.
But it doesn't relay matter, because before you enter Skull&Head will be the best combination. (Maybe Shadowpriests will still wear Timbal ...)

Комментарий от 31389

I got this recently, and I have a feeling that this trinket is going to be like the Neltharion's Tear of the Burning Crusade, at least I hope so.

Even into the expansion, I expect this trinket will still be good into the first 1 or 2 raiding tears, much as the tear trink was off of Nefarian.

Комментарий от noherczeg

Important for Burn healers in the Brutallus fight:

Don't heal on casters with active trinket. It looks the same as they look when hit by the debuff. When the first time i healed burn i thought my eyes went crazy. Then i realized that they arent affacted by burn, its just the trinket debuff.

So shame on me, but try not to do this on your encounters :)

you can think this much haste is OP, but you know, haste does less the more you get. therefore, you should balance your stats of what you need..stacking haste to the limit isn't a good choice afterall.

That would be like 80+ % reduced casting speed, would be fun I´d say :D

Incidently, this item is use by a Discipline Priest Called Billian, in his Arena Movie Billian 4

Even though he used it in 5's only, i guess it still serves a purpose in Wotlk

Комментарий от spollo

You can get the skull that turns you into a half-demon, but getting the sword that steals your soul 'breaks the lore'. I understand most of the Skull's powers have probably been absorbed by Illidan, but they could have at least given us some kind of non-canon Frostmourne, while still destroying it in the storyline. Onyxia's supposed to have been killed by Varian Wrynn, but they brought her back for Vanilla WoW and even WotLK.

In my opinion, this item should've been an off-hand held item, only because Illidan holds it in his hand too

Комментарий от 794503

Can't believe there's no mention of when Deathwing had the skull, however brief. Gotta love how Khadgar kicked Deathwing's ass to get it back.

This should definitely be a legendary imo, in "Beyond the Dark Portal" is says that a warlock can still channel their power through their remains once dead, thus you can't completely drain the power from an artifact like this unless you destroy the dead warlock's soul which has never stated to be the case with Gul'Dan.

The Lich King was given power from Kil'Jaeden and used a helm to channel this, Gul'Dan was given power from Kil'Jaeden and now we use his skull to channel this. One day maybe we can channel Kil'Jaeden's power through one of his body parts...

The Skull of Gul'dan SHOULD be a held in off hand item, not a trinket -.-

Комментарий от Lightbrand

Imagine an adventurer's journey in his life so far in Azeroth.

Classic: Acquire Sulfuras, Thunderfury, Corrupted Ashbringer & Atiesh.

TBC: Acquire The Bladefist, Gorehowl, Warglaives, Skull of Gul'dan and Thori'dal. Kill Shade of Aran with Atiesh.

Wrath: Acquire Val'anyr and Shadowmourne. Arthas dies to retconned Ashbringer :(

Cata: Kill Al'akir with Thunderfury, Kill Ragnaros with Sulfuras, Acquire Dragonwrath and Fangs of the Father, Kill Deathwing with Fangs (though he technically died to Dragon Soul).

Mist: Acquire Legendary Cape, defeat Garrosh with Gorehowl, obtain Tusk of Mannaroth, optionally picks up Xal'atoh.

Warlords: Kill Ner'zul with Shadowmourne. Kill Kargath with The Bladefist, get another pair. Kill Blackhand with The Black Hand. ~~Smash Gul'dan with Skull of Gul'dan~~. Acquire Legendary Ring, ~~and Ultimately kill Grommash with either Gorehowl again or if you're twisted, his son's Xal'atoh.~~ Ram Mannaroth with Tusk of Mannaroth.

To some, our adventurer's actions may sound like poetry to the ears, to some it's borderline creepy. But as a bonus story, what if I told you on the first visit to Blackwing Descent, our favorite adventurer bared an eerie grin throughout the raid...because inside the trusty backpack lied two heads that failed to make it to the capital all these years...

Does anyone else find it an amusing turn of events that Illidan was carrying this item around in WC3 and BC....and now with the Legion expansion announced, (alternate universe) Gul'Dan is messing around with Illidan's corpse/body?

Комментарий от yaZay

Maybe this item triggers something like an easteregg / extra dialogue in Legion, if you wear it while interacting with Gul'dan in any way. I don't know when we will see him again, though.
In the pre-released "The Tomb of Sargeras Audio Drama" on the official site, Gul'dan was very very reflective when being told that he had died in "another world", so this would definitely fit I think.

Just a guess, because for example, Manastorm's Duplicator triggers something in the fight against Millificent Manastorm in Violet Hold and there are probably other eastereggs like this.
