Well I am a Rogue and the both of them just dropped last night (my second run ever in UBRS) and I received both of them. Haven't enchanted yet cause the last patch destroyed my dreams. Was going to enchant with crusader and life stealing, oh well. Looking for a new combo. Any suggestions?

The people who go and say "OMGZ0RZ MAD HUNTER LEWTS" are all the little 10 year olds who go around shouting obscene things in Barrens Chat because they think they're cool. There are a few actual hunters who know how to play and understand what a hunter needs. There are reasons a hunter would want this, but even so, hunters will never, EVER take priority on melee weapons. And most hunters understand this (I am a 60 Hunter, Shruikan, Shadowsong Server if you want me to prove it). However, the Dal'rend set does have things a hunter would desire (the 50AP and 1% crit, w/ +15 agi on each would make for a nice combo for both ranged and the few times when a hunter needs to go melee *The big red bugs in AQ*). Thats all I have to say. Please stop flaming hunters.

Um, I'm sorry, but, uh, it doesn't add nearly as much to a hunter's damage as a rogue's damage. You get .52% to crit, all you really get (and lose 2 RAP) over your Bone Slicing Hatchet duo. You're totally right, if an item will increase a classes damage in some way, they deserve it. But not really =). You see, if you give this to a rogue, he's going to have a melee weapon that is absolutely the best rare sword in the game that I know of, so the best sword for a rogue who doesn't feel like farming and buying a Teebu's Blazing Longsword, and isn't in a raiding guild. Same goes for warriors, they would benefit from this just as well.

Now look at hunters, and again think to yourself the reason you want this. You want .52% crit. They want the best weapon they can get for their range. We don't go to threads about ranged weapons and yell "ROGUE WEAPON". You guys deserve ranged weapons over us because we don't use ranged weapons very often, and are only for stats.

That's what melee weapons are for you, ONLY FOR STATS. Rogues and warriors need this for absolute DPS, not for stats to slightly increase DPS.

I could go on about this for ages...

Hunters, go all out on getting your stat axes. Rogues and warriors don't usually go for those (with the exception of warriors, which they usually go after the slower [2.50+] axes).

Ya, I'm just going to stop it here because I'm bored of rambling on about reasons that should just be common sense.

I totally agree with you that hunters deserve to roll, but not over rogues and warriors. If they have it or something close to it in DPS, and you have a greeny with 5 agility, then you deserve it more. But in most cases, come on?

Sword > Claw
Claw > Mace
Mace > Dagger

Dagger is total crap for damagedealing in raids, every single raid you have a combatrogue on top of the dps-list. If we werent supposed to use it we wouldnt be able to spec it.

I dont disagree with hunters rolling for this item though, if you gain on it, do it.

Ignorance makes baby jesus cry.

Hunters, contrary to popular belief, do need melee weapons. NOT, as the train of thought seems to be, to do melee dps (yes, we are ranged, duh) but for STATS.

Hunters not needing melee weapons is like telling a caster he's not allowed to have a mace "zomg sif casters melee, give 2 a wari0rlolololz"

These give great stats which INCREASE RANGED DPS.

So me getting it on my first trip into UBRS isn't going to make you feel better ;)

Didn't finish it last night due to it geting late so hopefully the OH will drop when we go back tonight.

He's a completely jerk!

THIS IS NOT A HUNTAH WEP! you huntah's use freeking range weps, it's a freeking fury warrior / rogue. fury warriors and rouges r 100% melee!
