From a mage's perspective, its a phenomenal grinding and PvP Trinket. Not so much for PvE (raiding), as i'm assuming you have to make the killing blow on the mob in your raid to get the bonus, as it would work the same way with a shadow priest's spirit tap talent.

As for shadow priests and warlocks, the crit doesn't help them out nearly as much. I'd prolly go for Quagmirrian's Eye form heroic Slavepens http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27683#z0z

If anyone is wondering if this is a good grinding trinket, I personally think it's great. It'll chain proc a ton sometimes, so it's basically a +80 spell dmg trinket slot all the time if you have minimal downtime. Although probably not the best trinket for pvp, it is great when you are out grinding mobs relentlessly. Even if you are unsure about it, it only costs 4 gold. :)

This item has been hotfixed, and now requires level 70 to equip.

Comment by frmorrison

This item has changed on the 2.2 PTR to have a 50% chance to gain the 80 spell damage bonus.

Comment by Corbon

Extremely cheap compared to other buyable epics, so you might just try it out and if it doesn't impress you, just sell it to a vendor or throw it away.

Comment by Slater

I don't see where this is useful since at level 70 you can't get experience (so it won't proc off experience). And if you must be killing mobs that give honor, that really limits its usefulness when grinding mobs that don't yield honor for any factions. I guess if they change it to 50% it would become fairly useful PvP (arenas and battlegrounds) because of the crit and very high chance to proc.

But right now, at least for me, this thing seems worthless when compared to say.... Xi'ri's Gift. Very slightly less crit rating, and you can proc it when you want for twice the damage, although half the duration.

Comment by Caffi

I am wondering, will this stack with the Skyguard silver cross? so that a paladin or shaman could go around with procs?

Comment by 68023

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but the proc rate has been nerfed to 30% chance.

Comment by 47259

Quick question: does this work in dungeons and stuff which dont reward rep? 'coz the proc requirement says "honor or experience" so in (say) Mechanar heroic on a level 70 with full exalted, there's no experience to be gained at level cap and if you're full exalted there's no rep that will be coming to you. So again, does this proc in that sort of situation?

Comment by Tarjin

This trinket is excellent for farming, as any caster class, and since the procrate is so high it's probable that you'll be buffed with 80 spelldamage all the time, if you keep up a good killing-rate.
Another notable thing, mostly for paladins and shamans, is that this trinket can proc at the same time as it's attackpower-counterpart (Screenshot) and is therefore very useful for mainly those two classes.

This trinket is essentially the solo/grinding (maybe even dungeon/raid trash) equivalent of the Darkmoon Card: Crusade (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31856). The Card is great for longer fights where there really isn't anything to kill for proccing the Ribbon, whereas the Ribbon is great solo because you just have to kill something, not build and maintain charges (which you'd easily be doing on most bosses).

The Card is the equivalent for the "attack power counterpart" listed by Tarjin as well.

PVE: For AOE item, Black Morass gate keeper. I would like use this one for long-term DPS http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31856
PVP: BG item.

This trinket shines on the Vashj fight in phase 2 if you are on elemental duty. With the amount of rapid killing, the buff should be up the entire phase.

Comment by 47175

My warlock can get this to proc sometimes by sacrificing my own pet ^^

Comment by 86644

Can anyone confirm if u need the killing blow for this to proc? or just be in the group/ raid

Comment by 87278

Hardly a useless trinket. Currently grinding skyguard rep to get this. Once WotLK comes out this trinket will be extremely useful for levelling. Planning on pairing it with Darkmoon Card: Crusade for smoother levelling.

Comment by Euros

Awesome grinding trinket for destro warlocks.
For longer fights, you can use Darkmoon Card: Crusade instead. Same amount of +dmg after 10 hit but no crit rating

Comment by Panaman

I was wondering, if you are exalted with a certain faction..... and can't get any more honor, like say with the violet eye does that meen the trinket won't proc anymore?

Comment by GoHF

Probably shouldn't be saying this, but hell.
This trinket procs from the sacrifice ability of Voidwalker, which for arena means you can start arena with the buff, the bubble and still switch the trinket for something else before the gates open. Food for thought.

It will probably proc from other abilities that kill friendly same level units (ritual of doom is the only one I can think of right now) but I haven't been able to test that yet.

Comment by housetrain

Will probably be a nice trinket for the grind to 80 when Lich King comes out

Comment by 65156

I find this paired with the Darkmoon: Madness trinket to be very useful in PvP as a destruction warlock.

For me, it's hard not to get the KB. =P

Comment by 101482

very nice as a warlock in a lot of fights. anytime you're responsible for downing adds with seed of corruption, you can basically count on an extra 80 spell dmg.

Comment by EvilElpay

This trinket has good base damage and they 50% proc effect is great on bosses where there are multiple adds like Illhoof, High King, Mag, Lurker, etc. If you are fighting a boss with no adds like Gruul than you can just equip a different trinket. :) Happy times with aoe!

Comment by Stompa

Does this item require you to get the killing blow, or can it proc off your party's kills also?

Comment by cyberhrc

tbh this is gr8 item when fighting vs trash or any other area with multiple mobs..it procs really very often and spel crit is also nice..
overall use it when u clear some area wit mobs and replace with other on single target

Comment by 89022

This is a great trinket in battlegrounds! One of the best for casters!
Chain Lights and AoE damages usually grant many killing blows so you can have his effect up very often!

Comment by 22103

Unless you're grinding kills, I would get Xi'Ri's Gift over this. Not worth the grind if you're already raiding, even if its just kara

Comment by 123186

This really is one of my favorite trinkets ever, but only for one very specific, very dedicated purpose: farming. The benefit of this trinket for farming is second to none. Even for a Shadow Priest like me, to which spell crit is a marginal stat at best, the benefit of this trinket is essentially a constant 80 spelldamage. Couple this with Spirit Tap (yes, I have 4/5 Spirit Tap AND 4/5 Blackout) and farming becomes a simple and easy task. For the price, assuming you've completed the rep grind by doing dalies already, this trinket is unbeatable.

But don't get me wrong, you'd never see me wearing this trinket in a 5/10/25 man... Ever.

Wrong i just got this to proc when i sac'd my VW, i guess the effect was not fixed.

Comment by childofnewlight

This trinket is absolutely great as a frost mage. I have it equipped most of the time. Great for dailies. Almost a constant +80 spell damage increase.

One word of warning, if you activate your ice barrier/mana shield while the proc'd buff is on you and then attempt to recast either after the buffer has expired while the shield is still up you will receive a "a more powerful spell is active" warning since your shields absorption is affected by bonus spell damage. This usually isn't a problem, but when I'm heading into a fight I know I'll need a quick recast of my Ice Barrier it can be bothersome to have to drop the current shield and recast.

This "issue" is of course situational because generally the improved shield along with keeping the buff on nearly constantly are both favorable, I figured this tidbit should be mentioned.

Comment by 351833

What I find pointless about this item is...Why would you need spellpower -after- you kill something? Isn't the point to be better at killing something by having it -during- the fight?
