Excellent headpiece for both shaman and hunter through BWL.

Comment by Asher

Awesome helm for hunters, the FR helps a little bit, but nothing substantial. The crit bonus is awesome, but the best part has to be the graphic.

Hunters or Warriors, mostly Hunters though, this is for you.

Comment by kniteshift

It is a great headpiece for shaman, warrior, and hunter.

People may ask why a warrior because its not plate. Well warriors don't have much better helmets (dps wise) unless it hits bwl, or even further. 2% crit, and +44 AP is awesome.

Comment by Theonejoe

I would suggest getting Dragonstalker's helm over this if you can get the 3 piece set bonus, just my opinion.

Comment by joshka

most people say this is a hunter helm. you will find, however, that almost every dps warrior is after this helm. the crazy +ap and 2%crit chance makes it one of the best dps helms for any mail wearing class in the game.

Comment by skitzosmeagol

Warriors should be using Helm of Endless Rage off of Vael in Black Wing Lair; however like stated above this helm is decent for warriors, regardless of it being mail it is the stats that matter.

Comment by Dratera96

Hunters, your best shot for helm choice is indeed the Tier 2 Dragonstalker's helm off of Onyxia. Crown of Destruction is bloody amazing for FR, however, yet you will have almost no chance of winning this over warriors. :(

Comment by Biscuits

Great Hunter and Warrior helm, I used it for a good Fire Resist helm for awhile, honestly could go either way. This isn't a 100% drop off Ragnoras though, that's for sure.

Comment by Duelicion

Well the main reason I am guessing that most people say this is a hunter weapon isthe fact that at 60 we are the only real class that wear mail. Shamans do but for the most part they go a healing spec for end game raids. You are right joshka DPS warriors will be seen wearing this but again warriors at 60 wear mostly plate. Any DPS class that can wear mail should wear this helm it is very good for us. Even pallies. Probably them over most becuase of the spirit and intel stats on it.

Comment by mynameis2

This is a good hunter/warrior helm for fire resistance and its pretty cool to walk around with a crown thats on fire!

Comment by Kamano

One item I know I won't be getting rid of even as I level my warrior to 70. It's just too damn sexy to lose.

And it's been said already, but the FR is nice, the dps stats are extremely nice at 60, and the int and spirit are great for warriors to be able to laugh about and be glad they got the item over a hunter. =D

Comment by Demurr

Does anyone know if there is a recoloured version of this in BC? They have a lot of those u'know, so i was hoping =)

Comment by 2OfDiamonds

still one of the best looking helmets in the game after 3 years.

Crown of Destruction

Comment by BenMS

This appears to be the head piece that Lord Victor Nefarian is wearing in Upper Blackrock Spire.

Comment by GlumTheGnome

Don't you know?

All gear is hunter gear!

Comment by Jaiz

Fits well with Midsummer Reveler.

Comment by OmegaTiger

You can put this on a Human Paladin with a spikey up-do and unlock the Super Saiyan Hero Class. LMAO XD

Comment by shammycow

hmmm how soloable at lvl 85?

Comment by malcore1nathan

Crazy hunter helm back in the day.

Comment by Doderidder

Has somewhat returned as the Crown of Flame.

Comment by Komarr

No matter what helm I may get in the future it will be transmogrified into this (I knew there waa a reason I kept it!).

Comment by Kalyssa

This definitely will be my hunter's helm for transmog! It matches perfectly with my outfit. Now if only I could get it to drop... going on 8 weeks now trying to farm it

Comment by harod

I never got to wear this for real because I needed the tier helm for the set bonus. Thanks, transmog! I knew there was a reason to keep this in my bank for 5+ years!

Comment by Tsukashii

This thing is brilliant for hunter transmog. Shame the thing NEVER drops.

Comment by beansybeans1

Comment by Flapjak7

OH yehhh just dropped whilst i was farming the mog set in Molten Core. Definitely Worth the run!

Comment by Nasto92

This helm goes real well with Flamewaker's Battlegear for Transmog.
Currently wearing this helm with the shoulder's, Im still working on the rest of the gear.

Comment by Raelari

I use this crown, the Valorous Cryptstalker Battlegear set with Purple Martial Shirt, Torn Web Wrapping, Pack-Ice Striders, Cloak of Subjugated Power, and Golden Bow of Quel'Thalas as my mog set and it all compliments each other very nicely I think. The crown gives the darker armor set a little flair and it all matches the Golden Bow really well in my opinion since there's not too many sets out there that actually matches that beautiful bow. That's not super flashy with bright colors like the Sunwell set anyway...

Comment by Drynii

After reading these posts about the crown, decided to go in with my hunter and clear MC. Upon killing Ragnaros, he dropped the coveted crown I was there for! I was so happy! Though, I hear its pretty rare and after talking to some of my hunter and shammy friends, it may take a few runs (one of them has been farming for two years and still no crown >.<). Good luck to all who get this crown for xmog! Its truly one of the best out there!

Comment by stickshift

Transmogging this and Claw of Molten Fury for my Enhance Shaman Draenei it gives the appearance of flames simmering under his armor. Looks good with a Swiftarrow Set that a leatherworker can make cheap.

Comment by Talooma

My first epic while raiding in vanilla. My most beloved item all the way, and still is. After we got transmog ingame, it is the only item I always have my helm mogged into, no matter what set I've got.

And I got the cloth one for my priest as well, after a few months farming.

Love it!
