Many effects in WoW are affected by lag in various ways. Damage shields (such as a druid's thorns) is one example. If a druid with thorns tries to sleep a beast or dragonkin that's attacking him, the sleep will quite often be broken from the MOBs attacks. No, it doesn't make sense. Yes, I know if a mob is slept, it shouldn't be able to attack. But this is just how it works. It's the same with putting any kind of damage shield (thorns, imp fire buff, etc) on a sapping rogue, a sheeping mage, etc.
I imagine it's the same problem for a rogue trying to gouge. The gouge effect goes off, then the damage is applied (either by design or by lag). The result is a broken gouge.
That said, I can see this being really useful in the hands of a DW fury warrior, a rogue, or (gasp) a feral druid assuming the 1.8 patch eventually comes out and makes the feral tree decent :) Cat attacks have a delay of 1 second, for those that don't know. That's pretty darn fast.
I got this off Lord Kazzak not realising it broke gouge so I was pretty annoyed at being a gimped rogue for a while but I now use it in PvE to give an extra little damage to my attacks. PvP I just use an Onyxia Tooth Pendant.
It -does- break gouge, I have one, and it only sees PvE use currently. I'm pretty sure the breaking of gouge was unintended and therefore this item should be considered bugged at the moment. Gouge does a slight bit of damage when applied, and is considered a melee attack. For some reason the +2 fire damage is applied right after the gouge, there by harming the target and breaking the gouge. I guess they need to apply the same fix to this that they applied to the stormshroud lightning damage, I think in that case gouge ignores the stormshroud set lightning proc.
Uhm... Go get a Medallion of Grand Marshal Morris. +7 stam and Increased Defense +15. This item belongs to a rogue. Rogues have a skill called Slice and Dice that makes their attacks 30% faster, on my rogue I use a Barman Shanker (2.00) and a Julie's Dagger (1.30). Decrease both by 30%, and I'm doing a lot of hits, very fast. That 2 fire damage per hit would be huge when I'm hitting three times every 1.7seconds.
This is awesome for a a warrior guys come on....Agility for a warrior mean's he is going to crit more, it doesn't increase your attack speed on a warrior, the agility helps us dodge as well, and the stamina and fire resistance are a "no duh". The extra dmg that the fire brings to us helps generate more rage. I have this on my wish list for sure.
<---SS rogue with the new fist weapon set and that ammy would be freakin awesome I'd respec my combat build to get 5% crit fro fist weapons. two weapons with 1.5 speed and 2 fire damage per tick is nice to add. that and with that ammy I can have over 130 fire resist as a rogue easy. great for MC and onyxia
I think this is best for a hunter (rogue is close second) as bows like hurricane with a scope and an extra 2 fire damage for each attack. Plus the agil/stamina is always a nice thing. Dunno why a warrior would want unless they are dual wielding fast weapons....
who cares? if you want an extra bit of damage then fine, get it. I'm a Crit warrior and I think this would be fine for me... if it had str instead of stamina or the fire protect, then it'd be perfect. but I'm not complaining, I'd still love that Agility.
extra damage is always good. I beleive a rogue can still use since it adds damage to your attack and not adding a DoT, so it shouldn't break a Sap.

Who gives a rats ass about those 2 extra fire damage. The most important feature of this is naturally the stats and resistances.
I'm a warrior... I tank for a living.. I'd die for stats like this so don't come and say that it isn't for a warrior. The only reason I could think of someone would argue for this is simply to have an excuse not for a warrior to roll on that item.

The 2 dmg is added after the hit is done. So you Gouge, which stuns the mob, then you instantly do the 2 dmg, breaking the stun. Which means dagger rogues can never backstab when soloing, dueling, or pvping.
Trust me on this, we got a rogue in my guild with it. It needs to be fixed, cause atm only like a SS rogue has any benefit from it.
I don't think you know what you're talking about, tangzle. It doesn't add a DoT, it adds 2 extra damage to your hit, therefore it does NOT break gouge.
I was thinking rogue actually. Figure a tank would want something defensive as the passive. No str either. (not that I'm saying it's a bad choice and they shouldn't be 'allowed' to get it or anything :).
read the dam item!!!
it sais on a MELEE attack,
im a rogue, i see a hunter in melee in an instnce i get anoied expically with all their range power.

"The fire damage from the Blazefury Medallion and the Gutgore Ripper's effect should no longer immediately break Gouge."

This would be useless on a warrior

If so, then this would be a great benefit to hunters.
