This item is unable to be disenchanted. I'm assuming this is a bug, but just know ahead of time if this drops that it's vendor only if no one in the group is going to use it.

14% drop my foot, heh.

I know he drops it, but I swear I've done 19 runs now and he's yet to drop it. =

GREAT cloak. Possibly the best non-raid cloak there is...and adds to shield slam for better soloing!

Comentário de Auroch

I hate to say this (I use this cloak), but the Devilshark Cape is better. If you cannot make it to the Steam Vaults, farm BM until this bad boy drops. Enchant it with something fun (I did +15 AG) and you'll be good to go. Easier to get than Devilshark, but it is inferior.

I use it on my bear as a (finally) replacement for a warden's cloak. The +shield block goes to waste, but it's a perfectly fine bear tank cloak

Okay, I've heard a lot of complaints about how this cape is inferior to the Devilshark Cape. Let's apply a little bit of math and see if that is actually true or not.

A quick review before we begin:

***

The value of a piece of armor is determined by how long it will allow you to live given an arbitrary hostile DPS, a.k.a. it's Time to Live (TtL). It is modified by stamina, damage mitigation, and damage avoidance, represented by Stam, Mit, and Void, respectively. We determine TtL with the following formula:

TtL = Stam / ( DPS * * )

Please note that your total Stamina DOES affect the value of an item in relation to it's armor, and including your total Stamina before adding the stamina from the armor item is necessary for an accurate analysis (see http://evilempireguild.org/guides/acstamina.php for more information). For the purposes of this exercise, total stamina will be assumed to be 12000, and hostile DPS will be set at 200.

***

Armor Mitigation is given by the formula

Mit = A / ( K + A )

Where K is a function of the attacker's level, K = 467.5L - 22167.5 Which means that for a lvl 70 attacker, K = 10557.5

Also, keep in mind that a given armor increase will increase your TtL by a constant amount of time, irrespective of what your total armor is (see http://evilempireguild.org/guides/diminishing.php for a proof). So when calculating an armor piece's value, you do NOT need to include your total armor.

***

Avoidance is determined by a number of ratios of various dodge, parry, etc. ratings, however the most important one is Defense rating. For warriors, 2.38 Defense Rating grants 1(one) skill point of defense. One skill point of Defense, in turn, grants a 0.04% increase in your chance to be missed, dodge, parry, and block. (It also reduces your chance to be crit by the same amount, however since there is a cap on the amount of crit reduction at 490 Def Skill, we won't include that.) Therefore, Avoidance is determined by the following formula:

Void = INT( DefRat / 2.38 ) * 0.16 + ( A / 18.9 ) + ( B / 23.1 ) + ( C / 7.9 )

Where INT(_) rounds the resulting number down to the nearest integer, and A, B, and C are avoidances from Dodge, Parry, and Block ratings, respectively.

***

Now that we know how to determine an item's value, lets begin to compare the Burnoose of Shifting Ages to the Devilshark Cape.

First, let's determine the value* of the Burnoose of Shifting Ages:

216 Armor
15 Stamina
26 Defense Rating

(* Since the block values on these two capes are identical, and do not affect TtL directly, they can be ignored.)

Mit = / ( 10557.5 + )
Mit = 2.00%

Void = INT( / 2.38 ) * 0.16
Void = * 0.16
Void = 1.60%

TtL = ( 12000 + ) / ( 200 * * )
TtL = 12150 / ( 192.86 )

TtL = 63.00 sec

Now, let's determine the value of the Devilshark Cape:

78 Armor
22 Stamina
20 Defense Rating
18 Dodge Rating

Mit = / ( 10557.5 + )
Mit = 0.73%

Void = INT( / 2.38 ) * 0.16 + ( / 18.9 )
Void = * 0.16 + ( 0.95 )
Void = 2.23%

TtL = ( 12000 + ) / ( 200 * * )
TtL = 12220 / ( 194.11 )

TtL = 62.95 sec

***

According to the above numbers, you can clearly see that these two capes give almost exactly the same amount of protection. If anything, the Burnoose gives a miniscule advantage over the Devilshark.

So if you want a nice tanking cape ASAP, pick this one up. It dropped for me on my first try at Black Morass, and I'm not upgrading until I get an epic.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Comentário de Cheeno

As with Devilshark, this cloak has excellent mitigation and threat generation for a protection warrior. I've used this cape through Karazhan, Gruul, Mag, and in SSC and The Eye as my primary tanking cloak.

Burnoose looks a lot nicer than Devilshark. White with a green border is much prettier than plain blue.

THE DEBATE IS OVER!!

Comentário de 153228

To my belief the drop rate is significally higher than that of devilshark, and higher than the noted 15%.
I saw this drop at 4 out of 8 normal dark portal runs.
As a prot paladin I took one, put +12 Dodge, not going to waist time farming devilshark.
