This axe is beastly, being able to have up to 256 (298 with JC Gems) Strength and 270 more from the proc.

It is also, our second, permanent, available to players, Legendary, 2h Weapon.

noooooo not usable by hunters ;(

Imagine the fun of going around dala with this as huntard and getting wisps from POed warroirs. ughhh

oh well i guess ill just hav to roll a dk.

Kommentar von Fripomanic

The extremely high item level of this weapon combined with it's three sockets (red even) will most likely mean that anyone acquiring this item won't get an upgrade before far into the raids of Cataclysm.

Now the question is what happens if Trial of the Champion is the daily and you get the proc from this?

Techically you would have This right?

Kommentar von 436809

My questions about this beautiful axe are:
#1 What is the proc rate for grabbing a bit of a soul

#2 does the 40 str stack per soul fragment taken? (1 fragment 40 str, 2 frags 80) If it does then I say before a battle ground hit a target dummy until you get 9 stacks, then first person you go after in the bg takes atleast a +620 attack power hit and (as long as not to many other people are around) an extra 2000ish dmg from the proc.

#3 And I think most importantly, would the proc break cc? The discription makes it sound like an outward wave, like arcane explosion. Also it says "Between all enemies", the simple solution is don't stand on the cc targets, but it still might be a danger to the group.

Before beginning his reign as the Lich King, Prince Arthas Menethil was first a servant, ruled by a sword he believed was the key to saving his people - the runeblade Frostmourne. Finding and claiming the blade among the frozen wastes of Northrend was an odyssey unto itself, and the search cost the prince his mentor, his relationship with his subjects, and his humanity. It cost the living of Azeroth far more.
With a tight grip on the blade that he traded his life for, Arthas ravaged the kingdom of Lordaeron and broke free from the control of the Burning Legion. By the time the former prince ascended as the leader of the Scourge, Frostmourne was already glutted with the souls of the numberless dead who dared to oppose him.

Now, Arthas has become so inseparable from his weapon that the sword's likeness has even found its way into the architecture of his fortress, Icecrown Citadel. Its hilt is never far from his hands; its ghostly whispers constantly ring in his ears. Frostmourne, as much as the Lich King, is the ruler of Northrend.

To challenge that rule, mighty heroes will need to follow more closely in Arthas's path than ever before.

In a relentless quest to arm the forces of the living against the Scourge, Darion Mograine has formed the Ashen Verdict, a union between the most skilled craftsmen of the Argent Crusade and the Ebon Blade. Though the peerless paladins of the Crusade wield the power of the Light, and their leader clutches Ashbringer, a few of Mograine's dark warriors have begun to question their hopes for victory.

These death knights insist that the Ashbringer and the skills of the Argent Crusaders, though potent, aren't enough to best Frostmourne alone. They swear that Darion Mograine has long been quietly aware of another legendary blade - one that could be the key to defeating the Lich King and cleansing Northrend... But it doesn't exist yet.

For the moment, the weapon is a formless idea, with no more killing power than an angry thought. When it is spoken of, it is spoken of quietly, and the Highlord has a habit of silencing those who discuss it in public.

But the hope of an artifact to rival Frostmourne is strong within the minds of the Ebon Blade. Just its name inspires the furnaces to burn late into the night, the bellows to pump air, and the darker half of the Verdict's smiths to swing their hammers until their fingers fail. While other craftsmen crafters lean over whetstones and gather pitted blades by the hundreds, these few dream of a single weapon to end the war for Northrend.

Shadowmourne... A great two-handed axe fit for a giant, born of sacred and corrupt powers, host of a thousand dead souls and able to be wielded only by the most stalwart armsmasters of Azeroth. Its creation seems nearly impossible; and yet, the rumors do not cease.

Some smiths claim that Shadowmourne must be nothing more than an ordinary axe, honed to unparalleled perfection, while others would shape it from a weapon of immense import in the world. Mograine, when he can be convinced to speak of it at all, is said to believe that only the hammer of Arthas himself will provide a worthy model - but such absurd ambition is just the beginning of Shadowmourne's creation.

To contain the energies that dance across its cold edges, Shadowmourne must be hewn from piles of impure Saronite: the hardened blood of the Old God, Yogg-Saron, treated only by master metal-shapers.
To fuel its power to kill, it is vital that Shadowmourne be drenched in the souls of the most potent servants of the Scourge as they are slain, one by one, with the unfinished blade.
To help break through the Lich King's armor, Shadowmourne is to be adorned with fragments of the Frozen Throne, originally crafted by Kil'Jaeden out of ice from the Twisting Nether.

Only with these mighty components, it's said, can Shadowmourne be finished. And, yet, even if the axe could be completed, questions and fears remain. Is forging the souls of the deceased into a weapon treated withblood and the essence of the Twisting Nether truly any different from the crafting of the Scourge's runeblades?

Who is to say that the Lich King wouldn't simply annihilate - or control - the maker for their impudence in mimicking his most treasured possession? If Arthas, one of the most dedicated knights of his age, lost his humanity to the whispers of Frostmourne, might Shadowmourne bring the same doom and misery tothe living as its sister blade?

Without knowing the answers to these questions, who would be bold enough to try and wield it?

I find it funny that there's a vendor price at all. Imagine being the vendor who got sold this.

"Good day, traveler, how can I help you? Ah, you wish to sell me your weapon? That's fine, let's take a look here...oh my. What an...odd piece of weaponry. Um, well, I guess I can give you 50 gold for this. Alright, thank you. Have a nice day. Hmmm, what an endearing thing...look how it glows...maybe I'll keep this for myself instead of--FOOLISH MORTALS, ALL WILL BOW AT THE FEET OF THE REAGENT VENDOR! /cackle"

Or even

"Hey, I want to sell my weapon."
"Kay. I'll give you 30 gold for it."
"30 gold? This is Shadowmourne! Bane of the Lich King!"
"Kay."
"It was forged with the blood of an Old God and shards from the Frozen Throne itself, infused with the powers of blood, frost, and unholy! Within this blade is 1,000 souls of fallen heroes claimed by the Lich King, defeated over the course of many months by my own hand. This is the blade that tore into the Lich King's body and ended his reign of terror once and for all!"
"Aight. 40 gold then."
"50."
"Deal."

Kommentar von crusader666

Umm the proc split 1900-2100 betwen all mobs within 8yds? so if there are 10 mobs around you, it will hit for around 200 damage on each of them? that sounds sucky :S

Kommentar von 463441

So my Death Knight tank guildie just told me that ret pallies SHOULD NOT get this weapon because it has armor penetration. As a ret pally i laughed. For all u Ret Pallies who roll on this you are evil people! Ignore the 68 strength u could get from socketing 3 Cardinal Rubies, or the 223 strength it alredy has, this weapon is worthless because of the Armor Penetration. Plus the proc and the 114 extra crit strike rating are lame anyway. O and BTW if u roll on DPS plate as a ret pally go shoot urself, and anything with strength should go to a warrior. So in conclusion Ret Pallies should not roll on gear anymore. Ever.

Kommentar von Raithon

To be honest, I'm somewhat worried about the power of this weapon being, well, a little TOO powerful in retrospect.

Granted that few people will get their hands on this in the long run, this item will undoubtedly smash faces so hard to the point where it may take only a few (or couple) of hits to kill someone. Its DPS is 50 above any other known weapon from 3.3, and it has more than 100 strength and almost 100 more stamina, plus gemming, AND its proc. From a PvP standpoint, this thing just seems to be ungodly.

We will have to see -- grats in advance to whoever gets one of these.

I find it amusing that people would rate this down...Pretty safe to assume it's some Death Knight in blues, whoever it is.

Kommentar von Barrahir

I pity the little locks for not being able to use this. What a better way to get Soul shards than swinging a giant glowy axe that makes them on hit?

The Shadowmourne Quest Chain:

You must be friendly with the Ashen Verdict to obtain this quest.

You first must obtain Arthas' old hammer from when he was a paladin and a variety of mats (including 25 primordial saronite, basically the Icecrown equivalent of a crusader orb, and the blood of the two abomination bosses of the Plague Wing) in the quest The Sacred and the Corrupt, completing this will forge Shadow's Edge.

Then you get to harvest 1000 souls with the axe (just kill 1000 mobs in ICC on either 10 or 25 man) for A feast of Souls.

Next, you must take the axe and complete three quests involving the end bosses of the three wings of the citadel, starting with Professor Putricide in the Plagueworks, then Blood Queen Lana'thel in the Crimson Hall, and finally Sindragosa in the Frostwing Halls.

The first quest is Unholy Infusion, in which you must use the ability Shadow Infusion while controlling the abomination, then proceed to kill Professor Putricide within 6 minutes before the resulting buff wears off. This quest is only completable on 25 player mode.

The second quest is Blood Infusion. To complete the infusion for this quest you must first stand next to your tank for a moment so that you can be affected by Blood Mirror which will apply the debuff Gushing Wound, you don't need to stand there long, just a split second to apply the debuff. After getting the debuff you need use the Vampiric Bite ability twice to get the debuff to a 3 stack, then once more to apply the buff you need to have when you kill the boss to complete the quest (for a total of 3 bites). In order to get all three bites before your raid runs out of people to bite, you need to either be the first vampire, or be bitten by the first vampire. Seeing as the latter is more likely, make sure you're on the top priority to get bitten.

The third quest is, you guessed it, Frost Infusion. To complete the infusion you must get hit four times by Sindragosa's Frost Breath (Inflicts 37000 to 43000 Frost damage to enemies in a 60 yard cone in front of the caster. In addition, the targets' attack speed and chance to dodge are decreased by 50% for 6 sec. Melee range. 1.5 sec cast) four times, then proceed to kill her. Ouch.

You then get to farm bosses in the instance for a while for the quest The Splintered Throne to get 50 Shadowfrost Shards (25-50% drop chance on 25 player normal; 50-99% on 25 hard), they are looted items, however they can only be seen if someone in the raid is on this part of the quest chain.

After completing this quest, you will finally be given Shadowmourne in the quest: Shadowmourne... After obtaining the axe there is one additional quest: The Lich King's Last Stand which has you take your newly forged weapon and slay the Lich King.

This is probably the hardest legendary quest chain since Atiesh, good luck getting this beast of an axe.

EDIT: Think everything's accurate now, let me know if I have something wrong.

I heard Cleave wasn't strong enough. I want to see ANYBODY survive the Bladestorm + AMS combo of a DK and Warrior 3s comp with this ridiculous joke of a topend weapon.

Kommentar von 65340

False. Epics and legendaries are actually budgeted the same way. This is nicely illustrated byt Val'anyr and the Anub ToC mace.

Legendaries are usually better itemised (like in this case!), possibly of higher ilevel (like say warglaives) and they have a procc, which is free of budgeting, making them better than epics of the same ilevel (the shadow damage + str procc, val'anyrs shield, warglaives haste procc and setbonus etc)

By the way Tanks dont have any Ledgendary yet.. I know you know, but I am letting you know that I know too.

And yes I know Paladins can use but they have too...

Thunderfury was primarily a tanking weapon as if it was given to a melee, it would general cause too much aggro.

Kommentar von Squeel

Not sure if this has been posted yet but a JC (socketing all the sockets with those of course) Ret pally with this and 9 stacks of souls would gain 1594 AP. Add berserking enchant and we get up to 1994 AP. So about 2k AP from 1 weapon......may god have mercy on the souls of those in the path of any JC ret pallys wielding this.
(or you kno, warriors and DKs......>_> why did i level a mage again?)

Kommentar von cloudp

Having read most Shadowmourne comments, i ask this of you Wowhead community. Stop. there are 141 comments; 100+ of those say "This weapon is OP. YAY."; "This weapon i too OP. QQ."; "I crit my pants twice". This is a desirable item, with indeed incredible stat allocation, and Paladins, Warriors and Death Knights will be lining up to get this as soon as possible. It may impact pvp, certainly, but do not state comparisons before s8 is even released. This is meant to be obtainable by few, and I doubt any endgame guild would allow this to go to a PvPer. Should a full endgame pve player enter arenas, at a higher level, he'll still be CCed to death. Where this trashes is mostly on lower brackets. Get ratings first, QQ later.

My point is, no point on having 30248712098471029834701928347 comments on how strong the weapon is. Anyone understanding the basics of WoW stats can see that. Keep it unflooded, K?

Kommentar von friedchicken17

Yes Taelroc, your guildie is right,

ret pallies SHOULD NOT get this weapon because it has armor penetration

Pallies have some holy damage spells that ignore armor anyway.
So lets see here...

Classes: Warrior, ~~Paladin~~, Death Knight

I guess that leaves us with Death Knights as the most likely....
Oh wait, DKs have these weird disease effects that also ignore armor.

Classes: Warrior, ~~Paladin~~, ~~Death Knight~~

Oh well, I guess it should go to the real men. The original warriors...
Sorry, they have bleeds which ignore armor.

Now we have a conundrum.

Cannot be disenchanted

And who, gentlemen, does that leave us with?
Yup, its a Hunter weapon.

Kommentar von 326471

Theorycrafting:

This stacking +str buff that explodes to a weak aoe, gives an interesting mechanic:
For maximizing dps, rotations will probably need to be modified, so that the most damaging attacks are done with a full stack of Soul Fragment. (+360str)

Looking forward to find out if this is true (which will happen only after the weapon is on live servers, and numbers are put to the test).

Sooo.. let's see.

Now one question.
Where the hell is a legendary weapon for spell caster DPS? The only spell DPS legendary so far was Atiesh, and you can't even get it anymore and it would be obsolete anyways even if you could.

In Vanilla, we had legendaries for Casters and Melee(Rogue, Warrior). Leaving out Retri, Feral, Shaman and hunter.
In The Burning Crusade, we had legendaries for Melee's(Rogue, Warrior) and Hunters. Leaving out Retri, Feral, Shaman and casters.
In Wrath of the Lich King, we have legendaries for Melee(Warrior, DK, Retri) and Healers. Leaving out Feral and Shaman.

Warrior anyone? :o

Kommentar von Anarchy

It's amusing to know that the people QQing about not getting legendaries (for their classes) wouldn't be able to attain them anyway.

Kommentar von Delix

I think the itemization for this weapon is crazy awesome. I love it!
Three red sockets! I'm putting three Dragon's eyes into this!
Oh, and I'm not going to forget the weapon enchant!
But wait! There's more!
Soul Fragment will stack up to 9 times, summing up to another 270 strength! (That is, before you make your next swing which causes Chaos bane).

So 223 Strength initially
plus 34 strength from each Dragon's eye (102 strength)
8 from the socket bonus
and then 270 strength from Soul Fragment

add it together you get 603 strength

now just take that, and double it to get your AP total: 1206 AP
now add Berserk: 1606 AP
(for those who do not have Jewelcrafting as their profession, the final AP would be 1522 with three 20 str gems)
That's a lot of AP for one weapon

Kommentar von HandofDeath

i believe there will be a new weapon in cataclysm that is gonna be as over powered as this called DeathWing's Fang =P just saying tho it'll be like a hunter and rogue only weapon and healers/spell caster will get something that drops from a nether dragon or black dragon boss in close to the last patch so it'll be more fair for all classes in the next expansion just saying and this will still be a good weapon in cataclysm cause it's only 5 levels so blizzard might have everything even by cataclysm if not then blizzard really doesn't care

Well, one thing I dont understand about this weapon is...Why a "Shadow" weapon to holy fighters (paladins)? Yes, there were/is formed the Ashen Verdict, by some kind of shadow knights, and holy fighters, but anyway...What's Shadow + Holy Light? xD

Kommentar von Shieldless

Shadowmourne is an excellent weapon for any melee class. This weapon would be amazing for a DeathKnight tank as well.

Axe - Increased expertise if you're an Orc.
High Damage - Increased threat.
High Strength - Increased threat as well as parry.
High Stamina - Increased HP.
Three Sockets - Perfect for Stamina gems.
High Critical Strike Rating - Increased threat.
High Armor Penetration - Increased threat.
Special Ability - Stacking threat as well as parry, and after the stack is complete you cause AE damage in turn giving more AE threat which is where DeathKnights are lacking.

As I've said before, this weapon is good for any melee class; I just wanted to explain why it would be amazing for a DeathKnight tank.

Kommentar von frostbolt

my arms warrior will be a super man whit this axe!

Kommentar von 487291

I think that this is a replacement of Frostmourne.. Because Frostmourne is/would be way too powerful for a player to carry.
If it is right what I have heard, Frostmourne drains the soul of anything it kills, and the wielder will get those powers.

It doesnt only drain the soul from anything it kills, because Arthas' soul was the first it claimed. And he didnt die when his soul was taken..

Edit: I know the weapons are two way different things, but still I think it is a replacement. Because you cannot get Froustmourne, they made a new weapon.. Shadowmourne!
~~And it doesnt fit 100% in because Shadowmourne was made to kill the Lich King, but you cannot get it before you have killed him!~~ Edit: You can get it before killing him...

If you dont understand me read this:

I think Blizzard tought about if they should allow players to use Froustmourne or not.. And they chose to not allow us. And I think they also tought that we would be a little mad about it, so they made a new weapon. A replacement.

Of course I am not sure! Edit: Not at all

While it might not be the best after Cata comes out fury warriors who build there trees just right will have the 5 new points to invest into Sword Spec, Poleaxe Spec or Mace Spec in the arms tree. So dual wield this beast of an axe and another 2h axe will be sweet. (i'm fury and gods willing i'll be doing this myself)

Kommentar von 185084

I regret that this thing is NOT worth the cost of making it.

It may be cool looking, and lord knows I wanted it, but adding both Val'Anyr level boss grinding, combined with 25 Primordial Saronite, is more than a bit too inaccessible.

575 Frost Badges worth of Primordial Saronite, a full ICC clear, and 50 random drop shards? No way, no how.

The 575 Frost Badges alone is price enough for a weapon like this, which while excellent, isn't so much better than the rest of the drops in 25 ICC to be worth it. Maybe if those Shadowfrost shards were a quest type drop where multiple people could collect them simultaneously, but with their low drop rate, they just aren't worth trying for in most guilds.

I understand legendaries are supposed to be awe-inspiring weapons, but relative to the difficulty in getting it, I don't know if it's worth it. It's not as if it is Val'Anyr in that the items them selves are passive and that's all that's required, you have to frontload a rediculous amount of mats before you can even start the gathergrind.

Kommentar von 185084

Unfortunately, too many people are going to want said axe. Any and all DKs, Ret Paladins and DPS warriors would love to get their hands on it.

My problem with it is that they made it effectively twice as expensive to make in time and resources as any of the other legendaries. It's up there in the cost/time requirements of Thunderfury, and by and large, they are trying to make things more accessible for people not in the highest tier guilds. 25 Primordial Saronite, and an ICC clear (which may require hardmodes), followed by the 1000kill grind is probably about right for the power of the weapon. Maybe a few Shadowfrost shards like 10-20 even, but not 50 at the proposed drop rate, more than what it'd take to make the Ulduar hammer. Especially as this is a 'crafted' weapon, not one bound by history and lore.

25 Primordial Saronite, assuming the guild is doing some of the donating, means that there aren't going to be many of those BiS patterns bought, made or anything of the sort. Even if people are getting some/most of their own saronite, it's not exactly cheap, and would mean that they are skipping, or seriously delaying most of their Tier 10 stuff to do it.

Kommentar von 487291

Uhmm.. Its a little silly...

"Hello! Do you want to make this uber cool weapon? So we might be able to kill the Lich King?"

"Uhh.. Yeah!"

"Okay.. First we need 25 Primordial Saronite, Blood from Festergut, blood from Rotface and Light's Vengeance and put it in a Rune Forge inside Icecrown Citadel. Could you do that?"

"Nothing more?"

Months of cash/EoF farming farming later:

"Okay, I am back!"

"Great! Now take the weapon and kill 1000 scourge, and let the weapon devour it!"

"Seriously.. Is that all?"

Days of scourge slaughtering later:

"Okay, you have to complete almost half of Icecrown citadel in 25man mode, and kill Professor Putricide then return to me just to be sent back to kill Queen Lana'thel and return again just to be sent back to torture yourself while fighting Sindragosa, before killing her."

"Great! Ill be back before you can say *Ouch it hurts to stand inside Sindragosas frost breath*!"

When you are back:

"Okay I am done.. What now?"

"Now you got to find 60 super rare shards from the Lich Kings throne!"

"Piece of cake.."

You finally return:

"Good.. here is Shadowmourne! Good luck killing the Lich King! I bet 33gold and 20 silver that you fail!"

Isnt it a little much to do? I mean.. The weapon is good, but not that great? Use the emblems of frost at T10 is my tip.

I wonder how exactly long this'll take anyone to get?

I mean, there's a 25-50% drop rate of the Shadowfrost shards from 25 man normal, and then 50%-99% drop rate in 25 man heroic. One has to collect 60 of these shards.
Before that, you have to kill 1000 Scourge in the Citadel.

Wow... I can never even dream of getting this amazing weapon.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am excited that you can sell this thing for 50g+. So, just in case it starts corrupting one's soul, he/she can make a tidy sum and let the poor fruit vendor in Dalaran deal with the undead curse.

Kommentar von Behelich

Mind you, none of us has seen a player w\ Shadowmourne actually trying to face the Lich King. The description from Blizz implies that Shadowmourne is Frostmourne's "sister blade", i.e. roughly equal to it in power and.. EVIL.

Now, would you be so kind as to recall the WotLK trailer?
"Only then will you realise, that you have been following MY footsteps all along"

Just imagine this scene - a ret pally (or a death knight, or warrior) enters the throne chamber, and then the following dialogue happens.

The Lich King - So, you have indeed decided to sacrifice your friends to get this blade. You are stronger, than I thought.
Player - Don't waste words, Arthas. All I can hear now is my blade speaking to me.
The Lich King - You hate me. It is good. Now, let your anger, your grief, your lust for vengeance consume you, turn them into your weapon - only then will you be able to defeat me. Only then will you be able to have your revenge!
Player - Enough! Let's finish this!

Player charges onward, only to be consumed by his/her dark side, and to be transformed into Arthas's new weapon.
The Lich King - Your fate was sealed from the moment you vowed revenge.
The Lich King - Now, my new champion, let's show them the power of the Dark Blades, shall we? NOW FROSTMOURNE!
Player (succumbed to the dark) - NOW SHADOWMOURNE!

EDIT: thx to Kurhan

Just a friendly reminder for those in the middle of the frost shard collection: if you're considering a race change (i.e. to orc to take advantage of the racial), do not do it while in the middle of the quest. Your quest log will be wiped and all associated quest items will disappear.

Kommentar von 104412

The 40 Strength will stack up very slow , as the weapon has a 3,7s speed and only 20% chance to trigger the effect .
The effect will stack up in 3,7x50=185 seconds on average - affected by haste ! . The effect will give a buff for 60 seconds ( as of now, 30/11/09 ) that stacks and refreshes duration each time you gain a new Soul Fragment.

( b4 downrating the 185 seconds average time to get the stack to 10 remember that a 20% chance to proc a thing on a long run will proc the thing each 5th swing - on AVERAGE .. just like a shaman's Windfury )

Even if a weapon is 3.7s speed, special attacks mean you are attacking almost every second. The weapon states "your weapon swings" which would include heroic strike, slam, whirlwind etc for warriors. I would expect the shards to get used up quite quickly in a raid environment.

Just a pity for fury warriors that it is unique :p

Actually you could get 333 strength if you have 350 in JC by socketing x3

Here's the math's

223 + 34x3 = 325

and ofc the socket bonus at +8 strength which makes it 333.

Kommentar von hightdan

After you have attained all 50 shards, you get to harvest 1000 souls with the axe (just kill 1000 mobs in ICC on either 10 or 25 man) for A feast of Souls.

The order you list for this step is different from what wowhead shows in the quest chain. The put this step after
Shadow's Edge step. Is this another PTR bug, or can you confirm the order listed in your walk through is correct?

20% proc rate believe it or not is a very HIGH PROC RATE. What your not thinking about or including is instant attacks made by the wielder can proc this as well.

Fun way to look at it, Bladestorm + Sweeping strikes. In essence the way your are stating it is to say if i auto attack, with no attack speed buffs, then it will take me approximately 185 seconds to reach a 10 stack. Fun times...

Windfury Totem (improved2/2) and Improved Icy Talons = 20% melee haste
Swift Retribution and some other class buff = 3% Melee and Spell haste.
Flurry (fury talent) = 25% melee haste
Blood Frenzy (arms talent) = 10% melee haste

So lets just says that 3.7 base attack speed, will not be their attack speed in a raid, no matter the comp.

Kommentar von cmikhow

Contrary to what most people have said, Chaos Bane does not activate on 10 stacks, but in fact on your next swing AFTER you have acquired ten stacks of the buff. Therefore when you proc a shard at 9 stacks, you will hit 10 stacks, and +400str.

Your next strike will que Chaos Bane, and unleash the shards, and your str bonus. This is a great time for Death Knights to tie up with Blood Lust, activate speed pots, trinkets, blood fury (for the orcs), and pop your Gargoyle/Dancing Rune Weapon.

If you can manage to get a hang on succesfully tying these all together you can summon a pet that will do TONS of damage.

So my Death Knight tank guildie just told me that ret pallies SHOULD NOT get this weapon because it has armor penetration. As a ret pally i laughed. For all u Ret Pallies who roll on this you are evil people! Ignore the 68 strength u could get from socketing 3 Cardinal Rubies, or the 223 strength it alredy has, this weapon is worthless because of the Armor Penetration. Plus the proc and the 114 extra crit strike rating are lame anyway. O and BTW if u roll on DPS plate as a ret pally go shoot urself, and anything with strength should go to a warrior. So in conclusion Ret Pallies should not roll on gear anymore. Ever.

Psst, Crusader Strike, Divine Storm, and auto-attacks are all physical. 35%-40% of my damage in Ret is physical and I don't even have the 2-piece T10 set bonus yet: Lightsworn Shoulderplates that would increase physical damage yet more. Armor Pen. is going to be very valuable to a ret pally in ICC raids.

Kommentar von 475776

@viror: What are you talking about? The gear change in Wrath was nowhere near as huge. Kara gear lasted until 74 blues and 78 greens, and BT/Sunwell gear was good enough to raid in. It was not at all like replacing your Blackwing Lair epics before you even got into Zangarmarsh. (by Supercool)

I thought I'd test this claim. To make things simple, I picked caster cloaks to compare:

Best BWL caster cloak: Cloak of the Necropolis - requires lvl 60
First TBC caster cloak rough equivalent: Spoar-soaked Vaneer - requires lvl 62

Best Kara caster cloak: Stainless Cloak of the Pure Hearted - requires lvl 70
First WotLK caster cloak rough equivalent: Mantle of Keristrasza - requires lvl 69

In this example, the BWL cloak lasts at least 2 lvls into TBC while the Kara cloak is already outdated the moment you can wear it. In summary, the real question should be "@Supercool: What are you talking about?"

Current:

Your weapon swings have a chance to drain a Soul Fragment granting you 30 strength. When you have acquired 10 Soul Fragments you will unleash Chaos Bane, dealing 1900 to 2100 shadow damage split between all enemies within 15 yards and granting you 270 strength for 10 sec.

Old:

Your weapon swings have a chance to drain a Soul Fragment granting you 40 strength. When you have acquired 10 Soul Fragments you will unleash Chaos Bane, dealing 1900 to 2100 shadow damage split between all enemies within 8 yards.

Older:

Your weapon swings have a chance to drain a Soul Fragment from their undead, demon, and elemental victims. When you have acquired 10 Soul Fragments you will unleash Chaos Bane, dealing 6840 to 7560 shadow damage split between all undead, demons, and elementals within 8 yards.

223+110=333 (BAse Strength and Sockets and Bonus)<----------------------
333+270=663 (Base Strength, Sockets, Proc Effect And Bonus.)
663+200=863 (Beserking)
Creepily Enough, 666 AP just for wearing this.
1726 AP when procs are active

Fury Warriors with the right spec get 30% extra strength, if you do not know how this is done, you are a dumbass.

333x 30%
This is another 110 strength for a fury warrior
333+110=443 strength just for wearing this. ( As a Fury Warrior with the right spex)
Assuming that you have absolutly nothing but Bold Cardinal Rubies, Two Sovereign Dreadstones and a 21 crit 3% crit bonus, and the right enchants along with https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=50730 with three Bold Cardinal Rubies socketed, you would be one badass mother %^&*er.

I can see that the text says "Your weapon swings have a chance to drain a Soul Fragment granting you 30 strength. ..."

Does this mean that only this weapon's actual swings (not skills) and "Next Melee" attacks (ex: Heroic Strike) will have a chance of proc'ing it? So almost all classes that can use it will have pretty much the same chances of getting the buffs to stack if they're fighting a monster... outside of getting more haste or talents that provide a speed increase?

Kommentar von 331679

is there any1 that has this yet? how long is the quest chain after u have the 25 bars?

Kommentar von 42532

Now I'm not going to get too much into this whole "arms is the best class for this axe-discussion" paladins, death knights and warriors can obtain this axe and put it to good use as well.

Now I have yet to see what the damage proc is like, but Death Knights have Blood Presence which will up the damage by 15% and a talent "Black Ice" further increasing its damage, and the "Ebon Plaguebringer" which is probably one of the most useful death knight abilities, being able to afflict multiple targets with the equivalent of "Curse of Elements" boosting the damage even further by 13%.

Haste could also factor in on this whole thing, as how many swings you do affects how many Shadow Banes you make during a fight, both paladins and death knights put haste to better use than warriors wielding this as a 2H dps frost Death Knight you are able to increase your own haste by 5% at all times and 20% when applying Icy Touch (basically at all times as well). Paladins also get more strength from "Divine Strength" gaining 15% more strength also being able to apply BoK to themselves further increasing that by 10% they also have "Vengeance" which increases their physical and magical damage by 9% when stacked, and they keep this to a maxed stack pretty much the entire time they are in combat. Due to the nature of paladins they are epic keyboard smashers, limited only by the cooldown on their abilities, for example Crusader Strike and Divine Storm are two abilities directly affected by their weapon damage, also their seals are affected by their weapons in some cases, for example "Seal of Command" is affected by the weapon damage, and "Seal of Righteousness" is affected by weapon speed.

Clearly this axe is great for arms warriors for many reasons including the ones mentioned by the original poster.
The reasons would be the way that arms warriors utilize their weapon, they're bleed effects are affected by their weapon, they get 6% more damage with two-handers from two-handed weapon specialization, 5% more crit with axe specialization, 10% more speed with blood frenzy their bleed effects are affected by weapon damage and this is axe is the most damaging weapon thus far in the world of warcraft.

Now I'm aware you're not saying thats the "ONLY" class/race combo but you are saying it is the best class/race combo thats where you've got me confused, now I'm not saying it is the best class/race combo, I don't know what the best class/race combo is but you haven't really proven why Arms-Warrior/Orc is the class that gets the most from this axe.

If anything is clear, it is that this axe is awesome for any class capable of wielding it not just Orc warriors that have chosen to spec Arms.

Kommentar von 42532

So basically..

Death Knights can gain:
Blood presence: 15% more damage.
Black Ice: 10% shadow damage.
Ebon Plaguebringer: 13% more magic damage and 3% crit at all times.
Improved Icy Talons: 20% haste when applying Icy Touch, 5% haste at all times.
Merciless Combat: 12% more damage when target is below 35% health.
Blood Gorged: 10% more damage when you are above 75% health.
Two-Handed Weapon Specialization: 4% more damage with twohanders.
Bone Shield: 2% more damage.
Annihilation: 3% crit with all abilities.
Dark conviction: 5% crit.

Also several talents that increase critical strike chance and critical strike damage on certain abilities.

Death Knight abilties affected by weapon.
Blood Strike.
Heart Strike.
Plague Strike.
Scourge Strike.
Frost Strike
Death Strike.
Obliterate.
Blood Caked Blade.
Necrosis.

So from reading this, the argument seems a lot bigger than what it seemed at first doesn't it?
And I'm not saying that Death Knights would put this weapon to its best use in their hands, I'm simply saying that we all will put this weapon to a good use, and in the end I think it relies more on the player that wields it rather than what class/spec/race he is. Giving an arms warrior priority on shards for this weapon would be a waste if the warrior was less skilled than the other guy, a person that does not maximize their performance will never perform as well as a good, skilled and concentrated player.

Kommentar von 149382

To answer all the people asking about it, no, as of 3/15/2010, no one has managed to create a Shadowmourne.

Sindragosa, the last boss of the infusion quests, was implemented on 2/2/2010. Since then, there have been 6 total dungeon resets.

We CAN estimate the max # of shards anyone could have by now, but this requires mathematically impossible conditions. Let's look anyway.

Situation 1: Max Shards

A) The individual had already completed both the Putricide and Blood Queen attempts.
B) The guild in question killed the Lich King the first week he was available, and continued to clear the instance after each reset.

The first week Sindragosa was available, you had to clear to her. At that point, you could potentially get the Sindragosa infusion, then kill the plague wing (3 bosses), Blood wing (2 bosses), and the Lich King.

Max Shards after week 1: 6

ICC Has 12 bosses in it, so you could potentially attain 12 shards per week (Mathematically impossible, since even on heroic the drop rate is not 100%... but let's go with it.)

Max Shards after week 2: 18
Max Shards after week 3: 30
Max Shards after week 4: 42

Assuming this drop rate (again, mathematically impossible) it would have been possible for someone to attain Shadowmourne after killing 9 bosses in week 5 (March 2nd - March 8th).

Situation 2: Realistic shards

Now, if we throw in drop rates... it severely affects our numbers. Drop rate on normal-difficulty kills is 37.5% (25-50% = 37.5% average probability). Now, actual probability will obviously deviate from this, but let's just go with it.

Drop rate on Heroic difficulty is reportedly 74% (50-99% = 74% average). Again, deviation possible, etc.

To assemble a realistic idea, we can apply these probabilities to the to the future kills.

Week 1, 6 potential shards X .375 (probability for ez mode, since they couldn't be heroic kills) = 2.25, we'll round down to 2.

Shards after week 1: 2

In week 2, the best guilds cleared 11/12 Hard modes. LK Has yet to be killed on heroic, so we'll use the 74% probability for 11, and assume a shard from LK every 3 weeks.

Week 2: 8 shards (10 total)
Week 3: 8 shards (18 Total)
Week 4: 9 shards (1 from LK, 27 total)
Week 5: 8 shards (35 total)
Week 6: 8 shards (43 total)

Since we are currently still in week 6, it's statistically VERY unlikely anyone will have a Shadowmourne by now. That said, it's possible we will see one either tomorrow or Wednesday (3/16 or 3/17, beginning of Week 7), and we should definitely see the first Shadowmourne by week 8 (3/23).

As for me... 15 shards and counting. (I'm in a casual guild).

We can probably expect to see Shadowmourne numbers explode pretty rapidly in a month or two, as more casual players obtain the shards needed.... and since ICC as a whole will be ridiculously easy to complete once the 30% buff is implemented. Also, this may even open up the possibility (if not the probability) of even the truly casual players picking up Shadowfrost Shards from PUGs.

Kommentar von 531712

The only thing I dislike about this weapon and most of WoW's weapons, is that it totally puts the other ones out of business. I mean if you're level 80 and could have any weapon, there is no choice. It's this one. It really makes you feel epic I guess having this, but I think they should have more balanced weapons to a certain level. Like maybe other weapons that are just as powerful as this, but in different ways.

I also gotta wonder what casters are going to do once this thing becomes used a lot. I mean it seems like it will really buff up any melee class that has their hand on this, and casters can only make their spells so much more powerful. (The new level 85 cap should help... but it will help melee's too).

Kommentar von frmorrison

For a Ret Paladin, it takes about 5 seconds to get the 30 strength up to 10, and then Chaos Bane goes off.
The stacking strength adds up to be about 155 strength average for 5 seconds, and then the 270 strength for 10 seconds (you can't stack it while Chaos Bane is up).

For Ret, you can assume the value of the proc is 155 *1/3 + 270*2/3 =~215 strength plus 2100 shadow every 15 seconds = 140 dps. For Ret strength is ~2.2 dps, so 613 dps just from the special ability.

By xBlazex on 11/18/2009 (Patch 3.2.2)
This axe is beastly, being able to have up to 291 Strength + 360 more from the proc.

And Orc Arms Warriors will be extra happy as this is an Axe.

Also, our second permanent available to players Legendary 2h Weapon.

And to be even clearer on why Arms Warriors and Orcs would love this it is because Arms Warriors get Poleaxe Specialization and Orcs get Axe Specialization therefore, an Orc Arms Warrior gets 5% more crit and 5 more Expertise (about 41 Rating) than other race/class combinations.

But, also don't think I'm saying this is for ONLY that race/class combination, just that that combination gets a lot more than others for just having it equipped.

Just wait till cata when we can have something like THIS on a orc warrior. by the way i was not being realistic just going for the end result of titans + poleaxe specialization + orc racial = total pwnage =O but of course rather stupidly, i forgot about the (supposedly MAJOR) changes to racials. the link above may no longer exist :(

Does anyone knows how the AoE abilitie really works ?

Trying to get some info or videos but can't actually see anything clearly.
Tooltip says that when you get 10 stacks you get Chaos Bane = AoE, then what, back to no stacks, i presume, rinse and repeat ?

Vendor price is beaten by this unfortunately.

According to the Find Upgrades page, the only item that has any dps boost is this for Unholy DK DPS.

Its pretty @#%$ing amazing but it doesnt look as epic as i think it has the potential to look.

Kommentar von zeneder

this is such bull*!@# a pala can use shadowmourn.. -.-? a holy guy with a unholy wepon.. yeah.. right

Kommentar von 610257

if you have the shadowmourne, can you please put your name in a comment.

Kommentar von 586781

this weapon = UBER PWNT and is at the moment one of the best weapons in the game

Kommentar von steinmetz342

lore wise i don't mind if warriors use it but i find it offensive when paladins wield it,

Kommentar von 423630

Whats up with the Icon for Shadowmourne, it looks nothing like it! Yet the icon for the feat of strength looks exactly like the weapon. Go figure.

Kommentar von 442407

No because you use Shadow's Edge to create Shadowmourne, so you will no longer have SE after you've created Shadowmourne.

Hi all
this is a dps weapon, is there any quest in ICC for something like this but for tank? or healer?

Kommentar von 435011

My hand up for next tank/DPS caster legendary wep. At the moment we have one tanking sword, one caster dps, one ranged DPS, one healer mace, and thr ee melee dps weapons.
And Shadowmourne is pretty similar to Sulfuras in terms of stat distribution, so it seems that circle is full and goes on.
Blizz, make next SPDPS legendary not a staff, but a dagger or sword, and if latter, sheathe it at the back.

This weapon should not be allowed into arena IMHO. This weapon can carry entire teams to arena master. Almost every DK or Warrior team above 2300 in 3s and 5s has this weapon on my BG. It's ridiculous how much of an advantage they have, and how hard that thing hits with an MS.

Kommentar von Barrahir

If there is one thing this weapon lacks... it's duct tape.

Kommentar von 373850

I love how this is the best weapon in the game, but there's still a button that says find upgrades.

Kommentar von NightmareMJ

It is a sad pity shaman's cannot use this weapon :(

Kommentar von Odin47

Could someone answer me this: according to the second quest in the chain for this weapon it says the races that can do it are Human and Blood Elf. Does this mean that you have to be a human or blood elf to get this weapon?

Kommentar von 620180

I dont get why yall are fighting it is a awesome axe that gives better stats than any other 2H axe plus the gems which makes it good for a DK blood tank since they use 2H weapons

Kommentar von Succendo

A note for the "eat 50 souls" part of this questline:

The debuff that grants you a soul when the mob dies is granted upon tagging the mob. If you kill the mob in one hit, most of the time it will not count, as the mob isn't tagged. Very frustrating!

To work around this, use abilities which tag enemies without damaging them. As a warrior, I used Demoralizing/Challenging shout to pull groups, then Thunder Clapped to kill them. After a few pulls I had enough.

Happy grinding!

Kommentar von nantte

Should 100% be paladin prio, especially if the paladin is called Kännimald.
