This is the level 80 upgrade of the Ancient Cornerstone Grimoire from Onyxia, which dropped from the level 60 Onyxia raid prior to patch 3.2.2.

skeleton is pretty weak, only has 5k hp and i assume does very little dps. overall i would just use it for the lulz and maybe some fun ganking.

EDIT - the skeleton hits for around 130-150

Kommentar von martinu

this is the spell that it procs and this is the skeleton that it summons.

Kommentar von Murphmaster

The itemization is pretty bad compared to some 226 drops () and the skeleton summon is obscenely weak.

Clocked him at about 40dps, while my warlock was meleeing for 50dps.

Kommentar von Arkhan

Does the use effect work in arena? Maybe won't turn the tide of a battle but if it keeps healers in combat it might be a useful distraction.

Tested this on a Heroic Training Dummy.

Pet damage
Total: 3106
DPS: 52.2
Time: 59.52 sec

The cooldown on this should be 3 minutes because it's fairly pathetic in terms of usefulness.

Before looking at this one, which drops from a raid, try to take a look at Faces of Doom (https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=44210) Easy obtainable and not a major diffrence, even tho, there is a diffrence on the iLvl. I would take the BoE and get stamina and the little amount of spell power elsewhere from my gear.

Sorry if meh elglish sux :P

This would be great for a Death Knight (Unholy Spec) to have this item aswell as Book of the Dead, Ancient Cornerstone Grimoire, and Antediluvian Cornerstone Grimoire. Then simply create a macros to used the item then switch it out for the other summoning books, summoning each skeleton (each lasting 60 sec) before casting Army of the Dead (each ghoul lasting 40 sec).

In addition to your raised ally (granted you were able too have one die), ghoul minion, and gargoyle that would be a great undead army to see for a total of 17 NPCs under your "command": 1 raised ally, 4 skeletons, 10 ghouls (is this the max able to be summoned with the spell?), a ghoul minion, and a gargoyle. Topping it off with Haunted Memento, though it doesn't attack, it does add to the visual aspect. Now you'll look like the Lich King has personally sent you leading a strike force :)

There are other summoning trinkets but this an "Undead Army" theme, unless I missed another item summoning undead minions ;)

Can't wait to unlock DK!

Why does this item seem like it's underbudgeted?

The item level is 232, however when compared to Leviathan Fueling Manual, which is ilvl 226, you gain +5 stam, +2 spirit, 11 spell power, and 41 hit rating.

The only perk to this Grimoire is +11 Intellect and a skeleton summon.

It's so antique it radiates dust!

I really think disney will ban this book...

Kommentar von Blackbrew

Got this today on my DK - nobody wanted it, so I figured, what the hell.

You can summon the skeleton next to a Risen Ghoul, off the GDC. What's more, you can target it and cast Death Pact, healing you as Death Pact is intended, without destroying the summoned skeleton. While this isn't particularly gamebreaking, it does mean Unholy DKs can now heal quickly without sacrificing their pet. Keep in mind that switching to and from this book does trigger the GDC, but I figured I'd throw these findings out there. Note that you have to target the skeleton, just pushing Death Pact with the skeleton up does nothing.

I'm going to assume that this works for the 25-man version as well.

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet. This is also the upgraded version of Buch der Toten that drops off the final boss on the Living side of Stratholme, which has a drop rate of only 2%, compared to the drop rate of this one @ 7%

It may be low dps...BUT if used correctly it's FREE dps. The pet doesn't despawn when you remove the book so, have it equipped, pop the skeleton as your tank counts down to a pull then switch to your normal weapon. ;p
In a game where people want every edge possible in progression, I'm surprised not to see top raiding guilds running in for world first attempts with an army of these!

Kommentar von Eillesthis

There are essentially four versions of this book:
The Buch der Toten from Balnazzar in Stratholme.
The Zauberfoliant des uralten Grundsteins from the original level 60 Onyxia.
This replacement from Onyxia 10 man.
The stronger replacement Zauberfoliant des veralteten Grundsteins from Onyxia 25 man.

The on-use effect for all of them is the same - to summon a Beschworenes Skelett.
