17.15% Chance To Drop. (3,635 in 21,199) Found on 1 creatures in 1 zones.This item is found on creatures which usually require more than one group to kill. This item can only be found on specific creatures.
Every class has a "dps" tree.. ( or PvP, whateva you want to call it ) Even Paladins ! If a Pala wants to go dps / PvP every now and then, why not just let em? They did get that tree for a reason. Maybe the damage output isn't as great as a Rogue / Warrior, but in most cases, its not about how much damage you deal, its about if you have fun. Also, some Pala's just get tired of healing / buffing all the time, and go do PvP every now and then. I hate to go to Meatwall mode all the time.. you could say, isn't that what you Warriors were made for? Simple answer... no, we also got another 2 tree's, wich are there for DPS / PvP. Exactly the same for a Pala. "Arent Pala's there to heal / buff the entire raid?", in most cases they are, but they also got another tree.. and want to try that one out too. This Helm, can be equiped by both.. but there's one difference between a Warrior and a Pala. Pala's arent as gear dependant as Warriors, thats why Warriors should get prio on this and then Pala's can roll / bid DKP imo. Every Pala should know this and every Pala thats isn't a epic horny bitch, will pass on it for a Warrior. If they can think ofc...
Btw, I saw some Pala say he outdps's Arms geared Warriors rite? Few months ago, when I had rank 10 gear + Arcanite reaper, I went UBRS for fun.. this dps-Pala went with us, fully epic. At the end of the instance, he didn't even do half of my damage output. I dont mind them goin DPS, if your having fun, gogo !
PS, isn't this the wrong place to discuss what a Pala / Warrior can need? Talk about HoER here, not what class must get it first.
This is a post in response to Fures post. This is also coming post patch.
Clapton - 60 - paladin - 5/0/46 Retribution
I agree with your statement that every class has a dps tree and that paladins should be allowed have fun and dps every once in a while.
But, I STRONGLY disagree with your statement that paladins arent as gear dependent as warriors. Paladins are equally if not more gear dependent than warriors. (and im speaking strictly DPS wise)
I am a dps paladin. I have 1200ap self buffed, and 25% crit, with +7% chance to hit. If i didnt have the gear that i have, i would never beat any rogues/mages/locks in DPS. But, because i've been blessed with understanding and people seeing [1 - Clapton - 980,324 14.2%] on their DPS charts, i've recieved some very nice DPS gear.
With the recent paladin buff with patch 2.0, paladins do a very very very large amount of damage and also benefit the entire raid as well. For instance
Judgement of crusader - increases the critical strike chance of all attack made against the target by 3%. Thats 3% free crit chance for everybody attacking.
Crusader Strike - an instant attack that refreshes all paladin judgements. This basically means that 2 healing specced pallies can judge wisdom and light on a target, and the 1 crusader strike paladin can keep those judgements on the boss the entire fight.
Basically, to all those warriors out there, QQ cause pallies are gonna take ur 1337 epix.
as if all BC quests and raid instances were not tuned for loladins. clear warrior stuff [without +spell damage/+intel] can be equally used by paladins, wich, i think, isn't fair
Basically I raid all the end game instances (small 20 man ones AQ20,ZG, then 40 man ones MC, BWL, AQ40 not quite into Naxx yet).But coming from a raiding guild that has BWL on farm this Helm has a very high drop rate, and should first be distributed to the warriors via DKP bidding of course. If a Paladin wants this helm they will have to wait until the DPS warriors at least are fully equipped. I may be horde but I know my class like the back of my hand, I also know the roles of a Paladin in a End game zone as I have a friend who I have seen in BWL/AQ40. He wouldn't dare bid on the Helm, as he knows paladins have more use than just to dps and he also knows that if the warrior wins the Helm this is going to boost the raids damage output a lot more than if a paladin won it.
Just making my thoughts known you may not agree with me.
But I also think this rule apply's for Drake talon pauldrons and Chromatic Boots aswell.
How the hell did you get Fury Warrior gear when you don't even have half of your Brood Rep?? Must have a stupid ML or your warriors are all tanks? And you haven't even done the first MC quest...
why is this helm so good? i'm a warrior with the lionheart helm and i'm not sure its worth losing almost 1% crit and 2% hit just for str and stam, i'm 2h fury btw.
I have to say i agree with the fact that the helm of endless rage is better balanced. Im fury and I have the mats for Lionheart sitting in the bank and Im wondering about dropping my Helm of the Executioner.(losing 5% of my stamina-> I dont want to be squishy). Lionheart is awesome for a fury but the helm of endless rage is better-rounded over all. You have to stay alive long enough to do damage!
Oh well we'll see if my damage output counterbalances my lack of hit points.
Lionheart has nearly zero protection against everything, it's only superior in damage output. This one is perfectly balanced stats-wise, making it much more useful in PvE AND PvP.
put this with Drakes Talons Pauldrons, Zandalar Dictator's chest piece, some nice other gear and a good weapon, and you got the best pvp warrior possible :D ultimate warrior helm (Dreadnaught not released yet) and i will personally blacklist ANY pally i see with this. although, i'm horde so the only ones i see will be the ones im PWNING ^_^
Hello everyone ... I got this one easily for my paladin 'cause no warrior or paladin wanted it. Since they are alla looking for T2 or T1 helm I looted it.
Absolutely useless in high level instances (except for the 29 stamina) it will be quite usefull in low level instances (Startholm, Scholo, UBRS) and in PVP BGs. Yesterday just after looting it I tried it in H-to-H combat with a level 60 knight-lieutenant warrior at the gates of IF ... I pwned him :-))
----------------------------
Of course I whine all the time ! I'm a Paladin ... I can't do anything else !
pallys should keep their filthy mitts off this. it is the best pvp warrior helm out there. on my old server 1 of the many rank 14 warriors (y r they always warrs?) uses this over his rank 13 helm. pallies if u r able to get this u r specced pve because even if pvp speced u suk at dps and if u r speced pve u need mana. if i see a pally with this i am going to hate the ninja. this comin from a 60 pally :P
lol. Btw you only need 3000MP unbuffed with the right gear. What server are you on? I outdamage any arms dps warrior in our guild, I would like to duel you, or see in practice how much dps I do compared to people stating such things.
I love to prove people wrong. Maybe laugh a bit :D
I'll end this. 1: In end game you do not "Roll" you send dkp to the ML. 2: The ML does know what he is doing and will not let any class roll on this. 3: A warrior with this IS better then a pally with it no mater the spec. It will help the guild in PVP and PVE greater if the warrrior gets this. 4: 99 times out of 100 the pallys said that they want this have never seen BWL and never will. So it does not mater. 5: Critalidons need SOC to do DPS warriors are made for 2 things, damage and tanking. A warrior with a good weapong vs. a pally with a good weapon will always win in the dps metters. 6: If your guild lets pallys spend dkp on this for pvp, then they will never see the last boss in BWL dead because the warriors are swinging green weapons and the pallys have everything. 7:For pvp a warrior with this will win over a SOC pally because it flat out is just better. You can use, but that does not give you right to have it. IE. Rogues can use cloth chests. It is just not good for them tho.
GL getting to this boss all you critalidons. Have fun in strat and scholo.
I have to say, i agree with mediumrarekj. If you want to make it in any raid, your tanks have to be pretty decked-out. What will the pally be doing in the raid? Taking lots of damage? Not really. In pvp this shud go to warriors still, for a pally who wants to try to do dps, go buy/craft a lionheart, and let the warriors who deserve it spend their dkp on this helm.
I'm not saying pallies can't pvp, they can, and some can be damn good at it. Sure with a good weopon pallies can do some good damage(SOC), but I would go with sword and sheild setup anyway, because then pallies can show off their special ability...not dying. For a warrior like me, i gotta say, pallies can be a big help in BG especially with their buffs.

A warrior with a good weapong vs. a pally with a good weapon will always win in the dps metters.
LOL! And how would you know that? Speak of experience?
Know your class and you can lose or win at damage meters. Correct balance of gear and experienced performance is what it's all about. Can you contradict that?
Warriors gets frustrated when loot you drool over are not guaranteed to go to you without competition. I understand that. This statement, however, is just wrong.
No, he's right. Paladins can do decent DPS, but burn through there mana quickly. Warriors can DPS as long as they have HP. This is also why we outdamage alot of rogues. Rage is infinite, since we get it by doing damage. Mana/energy, however, is not, since it needs time to generate.
Either this or the CoD, both are great for DPS warriors.
----------------------------
"The optimist proclaims that we live in the best possable world. The Pessimist fears this is true."
Ah so just because the pally has a certain tree in there talents that tells them they can do damage, means they can bid on equipment such as this(or the chromatic boots, drake talons, etc..)Real nice. Well i for one will never get outdamaged by a pally and quite frankly if this helm goes into the hands of a pally first, theres something wrong with that guild. At least let the warriors take a shot at it, THEN let the pallys bid.
The blizzard forums are down now, but go to the paladin forums. Then look for the stickied post about reckoning. Go down the first post to the bottom and download the video from the link there.
Now go on your warrior and try to top that. Also, check out his gear and noticed that it's sub-par with the exception of one or two items.
Intellect may be a very important stat for paladins, but I'd like you to note how many helms are available to a paladin. Not counting blues, there are two helms with any intellect at all on them. One has a total of 8 strength, the other with zero. Which helms? Our class set helms.
In PvP, we enjoy hitting things just as much as warriors. With enough attack power and strength, we can hit things damn hard. Instead of that horrid +8 strength helm that blizzard (no kidding) called a joke, I'll be happy to roll (everyone who wants it rolls, and the winner has their DKP subtracted. It's a viable method) on Helm of Endless Rage, which will benefit me in PvP just as much as it will a warrior.
"go roll on int plate n00b"
Sure thing! Gauntlets of the shining light, legguards of the fallen crusader, zandalar freethinker's breastplate, zandalar freethinker's armguards, etc. There is plenty of offensive-built paladin plate out there. It just takes some searching to find. Helms, however, are a different story. There isn't a single offensive-build paladin helm in existance, which means you idiotic no-clue warriors are going to have to step down on this one.
Here's the deal: Warriors get ALL the plate with defense on it, paladins get ALL the plate with intellect on it. Anything else is fair game.
"Alright, that seems fair. It is after all just a game, and you shouldn't have to set rules to prevent greed at all... but what about weapons?"
We both use weapons as our only way to deal damage, so they're all fair game. Paladins get intellect weapons, warriors get tanking weapons. It's a fair trade-off.
Have you ever wandered why the Paladin CLASS SET helms don't HAVE agility, or much strength?
Well, sherlock. It's because paladins are NOT a damage class. Atleast not in PvE, and if you've come far enough to be able to bid on this, you're clearly a PvE paladin, and therefor, wouldn't be allowed (by any smart group) to bid on such a helm. Warriors, DPS and Tanks, can BOTH get incredible use from this helm in PvE, aswell as PvP, as Loladins would only use it for PvP.
"Additionally, the spell at its present state is not working *quite* as intended."
Simple as that. Even a GM I've talked to over it has said so. So that talent, while it counts for now, should not be included in the picture.
Now, with that in mind, I will agree that Paladins should be able to get this. As to whether or not they pass it off to Warriors first... up to their guild, and Paladins.
In my guild, most of the Paladins would pass it off to Warriors, despite the fact that they themselves are quite fond of PvP. Why, you may ask? Because DPS Warriors are needed just as much in BWL and MC as any other class. We can off-tank when need be (Garr, Sulf, Gole, Domo, Rag, Razorgore stage 1, etc), yet still be able to put out some massive DPS inbetween, to make encounters go by more smoothly and quickly.
I do agree, you are not just healers, and I'm sure you agree, we are not just tanks. You can PvP, and actually deal fairly good damage depending on your gear and build in PvP, yes. However, PvE content wise, a Warrior would get far more use out of this helm than a Paladin ever would, in end-game instances atleast. Hence why I hope most Paladins -would- pass this off. Even if they don't have to. :)
Reckoning was changed around three times. The GM response you recieved was most likely the GM saying, "It will not give you an extra attack. It will only reset your auto attack and make your hit instant." Other than that, Blizzard has said that they do in fact know about the ability to charge hits and they are quite happy with the way it is currently working.
So the talent is fine as it is. I imagine it will be taken out in 1.9 and be replaced with something the idiot paladins think is better.
Thank you for writing an intelligent post. It is true that warriors would use this better for PvE than a paladin would. With that said, end-game for me is PvP. Once I have all the gear I'd do well in, what else is there? Instances are a way to get better gear for what? More instances?
Helm of Endless Rage is built for a paladin and a warrior. Take this helm for example: http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=16474 It has nearly the exact same stats, only tweaked for more survivability. Built for PvP, it's a paladin-only helm.
Warriors may hit harder, but I'm not about to continue wearing lawbringer for PvP when a better alternative presents itself in front of me. I'll keep my DKP away from judgement and major healing gear, but offensive gear is mine. :)
By the way, only this helm and perhaps onslaught girdle are the only two offensive intellect-less plate I roll on (so far). The onslaught girdle only because I have enough intellect to be able to use it instead, and the helm because there is no other viable alternative.
Edit: Why are tanks allowed to roll on two handed weapons? Why are DPS warriors allowed to roll on tanking gear?
Question1: "Instances are a way to get better gear for what? More instances?"
Answear: Yes.
Question2: Why are tanks allowed to roll on two handed weapons? Why are DPS warriors allowed to roll on tanking gear?
Answear: DPS warrios can still tank and Tank warriors can still DPS, and that is ALL warriors do. Paladins have their uses as well. Neither tanking nor DPSing are their major functions in PvE though.
And if you are in a guild/raid group who do BWL to deck you out for PvP... Well if you are, then sure anyone who can use it should have a shot at it. If on the other hand, like most BWL capable groups, the goal of the raids is to progress everyone through the instances, then you have to weigh the utility of items between different classes to help the progress.
If some gay pali noob with no clue about the game was selfish enuff to spend his dkp on this and the raid leader let him i think id quit the guild lol.

Ah, but you are forgetting one very important fact:
Lionheart helm is just as good for damage.
Helm of endless rage is for PvP. Simple as that. If you need more damage for PvE, Lionheart helm will fit that role. If you need the extra stamina for PvE, then your guild is doing something wrong.
If you need a helm to help the raid deal damage, then get lionheart helm or crown of destruction. If you need a helm to PvP in, then helm of endless rage is for you.
Agh.. I have trouble deciding between this and Crown of destruction. My guild has already downed Rag and vaelestraz and I'd like to see some calculations or some solid evidence of one outperforming the other... XD
----------------------------
A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic
Crown of Destruction: 392 armor count 23 stamina 2% crit 44 attack power (the rest being negligible)
Helm of Endless Rage: 731 armor count (counting agility) 29 stamina 1.2% crit 1.2% dodge 52 attack power
Choosing Endless Rage, you will lose out on .8% to crit and 10 fire resistance. Choosing Crown of Destruction, you will lose 1.2% to dodge, 0.5dps, 60 health, and 339 armor.
Just downed vale and got this one. It's a great helm but it seams like blizz relly didn't put much work into it. The graphics are boring old one like all the other helms, altough most of he other non set items in BWL have new graphics. And your hair also shows trough the helm, can't have this thing visible untill they fixa a new gfx, damn uggly.
;E I hope blizz change graphics. We warriors are sick of the same helm looks just like a lvl 25 helm but different colour. Green iron (same graphics but green), Helm of Wrath (same graphics but blue), Lionheart Helm (same graphics but yellow).
This is one reason i like being hordeside there isnt the constant pally/warrior feud,... unless were pvp'n. Anyways this helm looks awesome hope to get it :D
----------------------------
Accept death with grace. It will be slightly uncomfortable and it will cause madness...
if it were up to all of you pallys wouldnt roll on anything, hush up, if you can make good use of it ROLL and ive had those who have cried after I have rolled on something, they end up getting kicked out of their own guild.

If you need a helm to help the raid deal damage, then get lionheart helm or crown of destruction. If you need a helm to PvP in, then helm of endless rage is for you.
Crown of Destruction:
392 armor count
23 stamina
2% crit
44 attack power
(the rest being negligible)
Helm of Endless Rage:
731 armor count (counting agility)
29 stamina
1.2% crit
1.2% dodge
52 attack power
Choosing Endless Rage, you will lose out on .8% to crit and 10 fire resistance. Choosing Crown of Destruction, you will lose 1.2% to dodge, 0.5dps, 60 health, and 339 armor.

It's also real nice for a pal but you should find out what's better for your raid, a low dmg pal or a heal/buff bot.
If you want it get it but I hope you will be flamed ;D
Spinal Reaper also has a new glow after the patch, it's the Lifestealing glow. Shown in the picture.
