Requires Level 45 Equip: Increases attack power by 32.
I just ran ZF today with my level 45 feral druid and picked this up. It was my first ZF run and the only other eligible person in the group was another druid who was specced to balance, so they let me need it. Let me just say that I could not have asked for a better piece of equipment, and I've already noticed the benefits. Now my attack power in cat form is almost 600, I am doing criticals up to 1000 and it gives me a much needed boost to stamina. Plus it looks so unique and cool. This is perfect for feral druids, please let one have it if you can't use it or don't need it!
If you're Tauren this is the one and only chance you'll ever have to make everybody jealous of your appearance. You get to be a freakin werewolf! Totally meant for Tauren, esp looks great with no facial adds and gritted teeth. RAWR
Got it today from ZF, which was really lucky for me (really low drop rate compared to others like the big bad pauldrons) but pissed off my group (2 other pallys, 1 mage and a 62 warrior who didn't care about loot obviously) so I got this sweet helm. I like the looks, and great stats and bonus.
Got it on my Feral at 49 or so, and being the stamina hog I am i nabbed it, don't worry no one else needed it, but i think it looks pretty dang sweet too.
rogues should let feral druids get this. they get ebon mask after some lvls anyway, and its more useful to druids.
Point 1. Ebon mask is one of three quest rewards for a rogue Q and imho the other items are better. The lycan's embrace is comprable in usefulness to ebon mask for rogues.
Point 2. Rogues have equally the same stake on on of these as a druid. If you need something, you need on it, else you greed on it. People who say 'sewansew should let sewensew have this coz sewensew gets this in a couple of lvls' really get on my nerves. When they accuse you of being a ninja, welcome to /ignore and an entry on the guild forums under 'idiots to avoid'.
Bottom line is : If this dropped for me I'd probably need on it. If a druid or anyone else claims that to be unfair or ninja'ing, well you can kiss my leather clad *&%.
That's just you being greedy. And the mask is great, if I want better stealth I'll wear Nightscape Boots and I really don't see the point in wasting an inventory slot for an "irreplacable" cloak that lowers fall damage. How often does one take fall damage anyway? Rogues already have a class skill to reduce it
This bad boy dropped and we didn't have a rogue or druid in the group so I was forced to DE it. Pitty how it's barely a 9% drop rate for it.
Sang'thraze the Deflector also dropped on the same run from Antu'sul, the warrior didn't know about it and passed on it. It made all the warriors on dark iron cry simultaneously.
Rolled against a rogue(I'm a feral specced druid) on this and won. I had been healing and had my caster set on, so he thought i was lying when i said i was feral and accused me of being a ninja(via /y, nonetheless). I explained it to him, but he had difficulties grasping the concept of separate mana and feral gear sets.
I disagree. As a feral Druid yes I do want it. But a good rogue should get it. It dropped for my party last week. The pug rogue in our group had done a good job so I passed & let him have it. Now if my next party doesn't have a rogue or has a bad rogue I'll NEED it. We'll see what happens!?
Ok... Now why should rogues let feral druids get this? Did you know that they had a helm that only druids can use and requires level 40? That helm is called the Wolfshead Helm. http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=8345 Maybe next time you should look up some things... For those people who want it for what it looks like, this looks exactly the same.

The Wolfshead Helm? You're comparing Embrace of the Lycan to the Wolfshead helm. My god, do you even have a druid? Lycan blows Wolfshead clear out of the water. That 20 energy/5 rage is pretty much useless. I won't even put points into Furor because it doesn't help me half as much as Improved MotW does.

On the contrary. As a Feral druid I get 2,4 Attack Power from each point of Strength (as kitty, natch) which is the best Str/AP ratio of any class in the game. We Druids get considerably better Attack Power by going for straight Strength over straight AP.
Rogues, however, have a very hard time getting Attack Power. They merely get 1 per point of Agi and 1 per point of Str, much worse than for us Druids. Gear with straight Attack Power is the best way for Rogues - especially dagger wielders, with their innate high critrate - to better their DPS and I for one will always let them get first dibs on high-AP leather.
not quite, you see it gives 32 attack power, plus 8 strengh in a rogue it gives that extra attack you want if u wanna be a dps rogue, like myself, i know it sounds a little stupid 4 sum ppl but thats me lemme be, and it gives a very nice stamina add to :) and the looks in an orc omfg im wet xPP
Dropped today at Zul'farrak, i'm 49 rogue with Helm of fire. i Won it on greed roll so i have both of them at the moment. I would rather not have my head look like a wolf, besides, i dont think it's as good as the Helm of fire, so i vendored it shortly after.
The novelty of looking stupid with a wolf head wares off after an hour.
Dropped from first kill. Two another ppl roll for it but I winn, I was happy as hell coz I wear like feral druid wolfshead only for look (look like this helm but its crap) and this helm is good for feral druid and have best druid look. And now I go celebrate it to some pub =]
----------------------------
My english is bad? I think much better than ur czech =]
Eh, I don't know if the Helm of Fire is better than this... Helm has 17 Agility, and 10 Stamina ( I think) plus some fire resistance, and a goofy use, heh.... the Helm with the 17 Agility only gives 17 attack power (1 AP per agi for rogues) this gives 32 Attack power, thats the equivelent of 32 Agility in Attack power, not to mention over 1% added Critical strike chance... and thats at 60, but mainly it depends on your build I guess, but Attack Power is great, and not to be overlooked by a Helm that most people get just to look Trendy, like every other rogue at 45 :/
Woot, I'm a level 43 rogue and just did my first ZF with 2 guildies and 2 pickups, this thing dropped. I was only leatherwearer and was N for me so I got it. I'm so happy as our guild has tons of mid-50s rogues who wanted this so bad around my level =D
still doing runs for this, i had pleasure of seeing it drop once since i started, but lost roll to rogue. hope it drops again.....
this is rare drop, he ussualy always drops the crap axe or plate, if this drops for you and your druid or rogue, grab it because you might not ever see it again.

The sound plays around every 30 seconds or so, and it doesn't come when I unequip this :D L O L just wanted to mention it - try it out people :D
feral druids and rogues rightfully love this for leveling up.
it is a rare drop, but i was happy to finally get my hands on one. :)

Gotta love pick up groups :).
Sigh. Some people... The item is nice anyway.
