WoW fans will pack out Anaheim today. Finally, BlizzCon 2009 is there! Thus, here's special edition of Phat Loot Phriday this week, on a Phursday! With the return of Onyxia, we should check these pieces of gear that involved the black dragon. If you get bored with doing Wotlk Powerl leveling, we are glad to help you. After all, this weekend should be full of fun in the CA sun!
Name: Onxyia Scale Cloak
Type: Cloak
Armor: 43
Abilties:
* +7 Stamina, +16 Fire resistance. Ah, the days of level 60, they seem so far gone now. Compare this to a prime tanking cloak nowadays, and take a look at just how far we've come.
*On equip, protects the wearer from being fully engulfed by something called Shadow Flame. What is Shadow Flame, you ask? Here's where this item really gets interesting: sit back and enjoy a tale of old level 60 raiding.
*Shadow Flame is actually an ability used by Nefarian, Onyxia's brother, and a few other bosses in Blackwing Lair. He casts a huge unblockable AoE during his fight -- unblockable, that is, unless you're wearing one of these cloaks (although since then, Ice Block and Divine Shield will both stop it).
*But to get a cloak (see below) you'd have to beat Onyxia, so this item was basically meant to send guilds back to the big dragon even while they were working through BWL. Interesting little mechanic, though you always used to hear guilds say they were trying to "get more cloaks" so they could go after Nef.
*This item doesn't seem to be returning in the anniversary patch, unfortunately. We get a new Vendorstrike, but no Onyxia Scale Cloak?
We will keep you updated on the WoW news and provide you the cheapest power leveling service whenever you need, safely!
