As a rogue, now at lvl 70 i would still like to have this trinket... it would still be useful in PvP, and PvE for that matter...
hmmm, gief? :P

If you dont understand this trinkets value... dont get it. Nuff Said.

I got this tonight, every time i activate it in a pack of mobs I ww and with auto attack i have 6 debuffs up almost immediately broke all my crit records within an hour, best trinket ever. nuff said.

It keeps stacking the buff on you..rather than the debuff on them..meaning when yo u switch a target in pvp it carries over the stack of debuffs..meaning you can rack up 6 debuffs really fast on a warrior and then tab over to that mage and tear him in half.

It has an 80% proc rate once activated.

Also of note is that it does not activate the 20 second trinket cooldown on Earthstrike, or ZG trinkets. So yes, rogues, you can pop this, hit earthstrike, Adrenaline Rush, slice and dice, and blade flurry, and go to town.

Tested today, april the 20th 2006 with my hunter on Arathor-EU.
What happens is the following:
1. You activate it and you get Badge of the Swarmguard buff (30 seconds). This buff enables you to get the second buff that procs on melee and ranged hits, called Insight of the Qiraji (30 seconds).
2. You start attacking and Insight of the Qiraji starts stacking.
3. Every time Insight of the Qiraji procs it renews itself.
4. Badge of the Swarmguard does not renew itself, ever.

What it means that this is more or less useless, seeing as it takes 10 (if you're lucky) or 20 (with slow weapons) seconds to get the full proc. And after that it's unusuable for 3 more minutes. What a waste of dkp. If Badge of the Swarmguard renewed itself so that you could have 30 seconds of -1200 ac proc then it'd be nice. Atm. it's getting banked.

So to clarify - in its current state even though you proc the 6th time at the 25th second you only have 5 more seconds with the debuff. True story.

Does this trinket generate a high amount of hate like warriors do with their skill? If so, this trinket would be AWESOME for feral druid tanks.

I'd say it's around 80%~ 85% proc rate...
I think it will be better if you have hawk + rapid shot to increase it's chance... after all, you DO need to make sure it proc as soon as possible, so having a fast weapon while using this trinket isn't a bad idea...

I'm female NE hunter, and I just love it when it procs, coz my character jumps up, as she is doing raptor strike. It's quite cool.

The procrate is 100%
It gives you a buff for 30sec to proc a debuffed
the debuff is 30 sec

I dont have the item but im pretty sure this is how it works

I messed with mine on the test server and in 1.10 it is fixed.. it also isn't affected by the new trinket cooldowns so you can use it with things like ZHM or Earthstrike.

from the few times i have used it the proc rate is 100% once you use it. it stacked to 6 immidiately and once this is fixed i will use it very often
~25 seconds with -1200 armor is huge

Does this generate hate? If so, imagine the usefulness for a bear tank...

Im going to step up and say its a Rogue/Hunter trinket. I seriously doubt it can have any use to a warrior in PvE, but yes in PvP, im not sure if they would want it tho.

But as a sword rogue, i really would want this, simply in pvp, and pve, mainly pvp.

Imagine a duel vs a rogue, you pop this when you start and by the time you get into a kidney he will have 1200 reduced armor, raising my Sinister strikes above 1k easily.

This stunlock/trinket strat will work great vs warlocks/priests/warriors/feral druids..... pretty much anyone.

Dont doubt in a second that armor has nothing to do with pvp, taking out 1200 armor is an excelent strat, all while your simply beating on the person, its not like your sundering, or taking up rage/energy to do this, its happening while your beating the person senseless...... this all said with the trinket working as intended ofcourse.

As for hunters, it says ranged, so fuk yea, seems great.

I can't call it good bad or useless until we know the Duration of the effect.

Does the chance to proc last for 10 seconds? Meaning once you tap the trinket, you have 10 seconds in which to proc the effect? Or does the timespan in which you are given to initiate a proc last significantly longer? Cos if it was 1 minute long chance that your attacks would have to chance to proc, that would be significant. Especially if it works like Sunder Armor, which lasts 30 seconds from the last application.

Given a 2.0 speed weapon (typical for tanking), then that minute would give you 30 attacks. Give a 10% chance to proc and you are pretty well guaranteed to take away an additional 600 armor from your target. On top of the 1500 or so that Sunder gives. Sometimes less, potentially more. What if it's a 20% proc rate? Then you get to 1200...

But at this point, there's no way of telling because we know neither the duration of the effect, nor it's proc rate once it *is* in effect.

So it has serious potential to be not bad at all for a trinket.

Just noticed it's not even passive, but use. It must proc like crazy to be useful as "use", but still seems kinda crappy. I'd rather use HoJ over this.

I dont think it will proc enough to get it up to 6 times in 30 sec but maybe it will be a good trinket..we'll see.

No idea but do some maths:

After the first proc the debuff lasts for 30 seconds. Since it can stack up to 6 times (and i think it means your one can stack up to 6 times and someone else can get another one) you will see it every 5 seconds. Maths is maybe for a rogue or dual wield warrior.

Imo its kinda useless in pve but for pvp its godlike.
