does it actually say up there that this uber-sword cvan drop from IRON DEPOSIT??
allakhazam get some brains and change it plz

this sword isnt even worth getting with BT existing.

im going to be lvl 60 by the end of the week... and im going to devote 75% of my time to trying to get this... i dont have a great guild to do this in since we only have 1 70 and 4-5 over 60... if anyone has room in their raids on azjol-nerub, send a message to gralas (human prot pally) ill pay well and any generosity will not be taken without rewards :)... also to everyone who says prot pallys shouldnt have this... id like to see a rogue survive with this lol id say prot warrior first then prot pally then fury warrior... anyone else would die if they use it lol

If thunderfury had a sister/brother, THIS is it:

I wish i had this sword so much :)

remember seven wonders of the world, guys?
who cares that it is no chance to live in Pyramids?
who cares that Statue of Freedom too old?
who care that Sagrada Familia or Coliseum not complete or a bit destroyed?
who cares about Everest not so high like Olympus on Mars?
Pyramids are legend of our world
Everest not most hard now, you can use hovercraft (or helicopter if you never been in 30th century:) ) to get over it

some things will be legendary forever.
even nuclear bomb is very effective, AK-47 4ever

got teh point o.O ?

this is one of the coolest weapons ive ever saw unless illidans and sulfest hand of ragnaros

What this weapon is intended for now after BC is actually quite simple.

Warriors
-Protection
-Fury

Paladins
-Protection

Rouges no longer need as of all the gladiator stuff, hunters....god invented guns and big pets for a reason, arms warriors your too busy with your big fancy swords, ret and holy comon now two handed is the way to go xD.

Another fact was after reading after patch history i have come to find it was not nerfed unless there was something i missed.

Yes threat generated went down, yes it became one handed (not really a nerf lol) but truely i think the nerf was an illusion created by the expansion, with all these new weapons it would make thunderfury seem useless but in truth it is not.

The proc effect is from 20-25% chance to activate so that means 1/5 or 1/4 swings will generate its proc (statistic wise) and that means well in a Prot pally hands we can utterly slow them down, give them massive damage on top of other things as well. Combining with Crusader Seal we will attack faster meaning proc will trigger more.

Fury, well of course there may be better weapons for you guys of course with all this gladiator set stuff but for protection pallies i see nothing wrong with it but then again that could be my bias kicking in.

advise to every one who have it:

DONT TOUCH THERE!]

Just like to say that, I already have all the mats for this weapon. except Essence of Fire Lord. The only problem is finding a raid group willing to run Ragnoros. Everyone i ask says no one will run that anymore. -_-

Great, so close, but then so far far away...DAMN YOU RAGNOROS!! YOU CONTINUE TO BE A THORN IN MY SIDE!!

Though this sword isn't as amazing as before for tanking, it is still a decent competitor. It's proc, though generating far less agro then before is still useful in raids, thanks to the 20% attack speed decrease. It's hard to call it the best now, with the new weapons in the expansion, but it can still hold its own.

Beastly weapon, has great skills and also has some awesome stuff

Took me 2 years of playing WoW to finally finish making this sword. Innumerable repair bills, Geddon kills, and wipes, not to mention all the farming I did for the bars. Sword cost me well over 5 thousand gold, which took several months of farming in between raids (no pvp /wrist), but it was well worth it. I replaced my Edge of Chaos (I lost multiple Castigator/Servo/Sundered Bone bids in the mean time) with it, and my DPS jumped as much as 50. Whirlwind with it is a @#%^ing joke, but that is to be expected; I raid in Battle Stance these days, as 3% crit isn't worth giving up Overpower. Enclosed in my signature are links to my raiding and pvp gear sets, and you can find a video of me PvPing with TF on Google Videos (lost that link a lon g time ago, sorry =/) and THERE I stay in Zerker stance, simply because in PVP I need the crit more than in endgame. I was 10% away from a Claw Of The Frost Wyrm at the time of Xpac, when I get some decent lvl 70 gear I'll update my sig, though most of my gear has yet to be replaced [Buying an epic flying mount at level 60=priceless (Thunderfury=awesome farming weapon when you couple it with the Maelstrom darkmoon card)]. Good luck to all of you who 10-man MC in Xpac, for this thing, it's awesome =D

Hmm i just got my Thunderfury and its pure ownage people in arena just got so distracted when the Cyclone hits them. Procs very often and yes I'm a hunter and i do like this wep invested 3k gold in it guild helped me alot also. Many thanks!

I know it suits a warrior or a rouge and they get full advantage of it! But its also good at a hunter if you can give up some ranged attack power +agi bonus from other weps!

I can't believe people are still QQ'ing about this sword. Have you never been in a guild where the MT actually had Tfury? I've seen a guild with 7. Every single one of the people who had it was a tank. (With the exception of 1, who was a rogue). There's a reason the weapon proc slows down enemy attack speed, and I'll tell you this, its not so the rogue has to dodge less. End of Story, Tanking weapon. Level 70 Prot warriors still prefer Tfury over any other tanking weapon, no matter what its top end dmg is, because the procc holds a hell of alot more aggro than anyone thinks it does, and ontop of that, it procs on enemies who are CC'd, and doesn't break CC. As in, you sheep 2 targets and seduce 2, the tank's proc will hit the guy he's tanking, and the 4 others next to him, thus gaining aggro on 5 mobs at once, without breaking CC. And like I said, its a damn good amount of aggro for it being a simple weapon proc.

Tanking weapon mainly, so shut it rogues, you get plenty of sh*t thats much better, you just want it because its orange. As for pallies, well, I haven't seen much pally action before TBC, but as of 70, i've seen pallies tank as well as warriors, so in what i've seen, they're a viable player to recieve one, as long as they're protection specc (or whatever its called for pallies)

This comes from a priest who's seen just about every instance out there (including naxx). Pre-TBC

Dude. Im all over that sword.

Hunter weapon FTW !!

Everyone knows that Thunderfury is an amazing Tanking sword. The Debuff lowers NR and decreases attack speed. In essence it lets allows the healers to heal 20% less ( = less mana usage) on the MT. People dont realize since more then 50% of this weapons DPS is derived from the proc and Nature damage it is a rare sword that DOESN"T depend on Gear to be useful. That means when a rogue upgrades his attack power/agi/%crit and strength, 50% of that melee dps stats is not effected by the usefulness of Thunderfury. Now take a tanks gears into consideration. He gets tier 1 and upgrades to tier 2. ALL the tanks gears are damage reduction and higher HP based. Guess what... since 50% of the sword's damage comes from the proc that means the warrior doesn't have to have uber DPS stats to make good use of the sword becuase its Proc isn't based on physical DPS based. This doesn't mean a rogue can't make good use of this sword. It just means that Rogues can get swords with higher Top end damage that are more effective as they get better gear. Tanking warriors don't focus on these stats so a sword that derives 50% of its damage through a proc is an ideal tanking sword. This explaination should let Guild leaders know how to distribute the bindings.

Still the best tanking sword in the game, and a great fury MH weapon too. Primarily a warrior weapon, and alright for rogues.

Hunters and Pallies have no claim to this weapon!

gave toa rouge instead of the awesome warrior my guild !!!!!!!!!!!!! now he has tha and core houndtoth

THIS IS NOT a godly weapon at all, in fact it shouldnt even be legendary, it should be rare or epic, this thing is not at all good, there are BWL and AQ wepons better than this POS, if i were you, i wouldnt waste my DKP on the mats for this, totally not worth it.

I thought I would do u guys the favor of doing the Actual DPS of this freakin weapon. Which I am currently making :). This thing will still out DPS TBC swords without a Rumored "Legendary quest upgrade".

Ok the actual White damage on this thing is 41.84

((44+115)/2)/1.9 = 41.84DPS

Ok now I watched the low and top end damage on just the little nature damage that is "standard" to the weapon. It was hitting as low as 16 and as much as 94 thru the debuff.

((16+94)/2)/1.9 = 28.94DPS

OK now we getting some where! 41.84+ 28.94 = 70.78DPS! THAT IS THE ACTUAL DPS of the weapon with the WHITE damage + the "Standard" nature damage factoring the averaage damage with and without the Debuff :)

THUNDERFURY HAS an Actual <<< 70.78DPS >>>

We aint done yet! Now we gotta add the proc damage. I watched the video again ( I used 135k warrior video, its on the Neff fight :) ) It had as low as 300 damage and as max top end with the debuff (lowers Nature resists by 25) of 450.

((300+450)/2)/1.9 = 197.36DPS

Ok now we gotta factor the Proc rate. Well I have heard as high as 33%, that seems high, so im going to do 33% and 10% so we got an extreme and a minimium.

197.36/3 = 65.78DPS (33%)Proc rate
197.36/10 = 19.73DPS (10%)Proc rate

Ok hold on to your hats.

70.78 + 65.78 = 136.56DPS (33%) Proc Rate
70.78 + 19.73 = 90.51DPS (10%) Proc Rate

OMGZ the LOWEST DPS is <<< 90.51DPS >>> ! That beats TBC swords :P. GG TBC:P
Now that it is confirmed that its a 20% proc rate the DPS of the weapon is 110DPS.

Okay, you're a rogue. It's got good dps, it's 9 foot long, and has a paragraph proc. Oh, and an orange name. You want it SOOOOO bad! The girls will want to be with you and the guys will want to be you.

Yes. It is awesome. But is it worth it...?

It took me 8 months, 2 guilds, and 10k gold. But the price you pay doesnt end there, and Im not talking about the 4.5g repair bills on it alone either.

For every 1 compliment you get, you get 3 counts of harrassment, and there are ALOT of compliments. You can't walk anywhere with it equipped without starting
a conversation, or more likely an argument exactly like the ones here. But onto the damage.

In 5 man dungeons, solo, and pvp, you will own. It will be as good as you expect. In the mainhand I get around 9 procs per minute over long term and I slice and dice fairly frequently. In PVP it's total confusion with lightning and tornadoes hitting all thier d00dz. However, in raids, I don't notice NEARLY (repeat NEARLY) the dps boost I had expected. Perhaps an extra 20 dps on a rough guess. But while I was thinking about how expensive a moderate dps boost in a raid that was, I realized something.

TF's main benefit is not damage. TF's benefit is the proc. Not the 300 (I've got a 495 max) damage. It's the -25% attack speed. On a raid boss, that's 25% less physical damage. So, obviously, it does benefit the tank, but also the tanks healers, which leaves more mana for them to heal everyone else. It doesn't matter who has the sword in the raid as far as SOMEONE has it.

The argument about causing way too much aggro gain is like most of the arguments about Thunderfury. They're made by people who haven't used one. I've noticed very little increase in nasty aggro situations and certainly nothing uncontrollable.

In regards to the Off Hand/Main Hand argument. Anything short of a Grand Marshal's sword, Main hand it. Period. Don't care about your math, Ive tested it long term.

So, in conclusion: Guilds should open up to the idea of a rogue having it. I'd say it's benefitted my guild just as much as if the tank had gotten it and Im sure they'd agree.

If I could go back and had the choice to bid on that first binding again, would I? No. I would pass on it. The effort put in is not worth the end result, in my opinion.

i wish i had this
