What is funny about these new epics, is blues with sockets can match them.

Hood of oblivion with a Nightseye gem and the spirit shard gem will give:
38 Stam
27 Int
62 damage
Run Speed

While you had to use two gems on the blue to reach these numbers, I am seeing this epic as a downgrade from a blue, and this is only one example.

This seems like a very good piece of gear if you dont have either t4 or spellstrike/battlecast

Has anyone looked at the name of this item? Cho"gall was one of the most powerfull orc warlocks in WC2 (or he was an ogre i can't remember which) but anywho he was one of the tougher chars in the WoW lore, shame noone remembers this stuff and bliz doesn't say anything about it :(

This head item has the highest damage done by spells in all the game.Really good for affliction locks and Spriests.

Комментарий от 5288

Can't speak from the side of a lock or spriest, but as a mage the T4 helm is a much better choice. Fully socketed it can get as high as 63 damage, and it has crit to add to it not to mention the set bonus. Spellstrike hood is also a very easy and good replacement for this helm.

Комментарий от TheMaelstorm

Cho'gall was the first ogre magi, trained by Gul'dan himself. He was a fierce and powerful member of old Horde, albeit insane.
He was eventually killed while defending the tomb of Sargeras against Black Tooth Grin, led by Rend and Maim.

Drops from Gruul. Scrooge from Crimson of Greymane picked it up.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

if equipped and the option to show the helm is checked the hair-model isn't shown properly...

Where is the metagem. Throw this crap in the bin.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Battlecast hood is better than this... it has 10 more stamina, 2 less intellect, and is socketed. If you ignore the socket bonus (+3 crit rating, not worth it for an affliction lock like myself) you can easily throw in 2 +9 spell damage gems, bringing total spell damage up to 61. IMO Battlecast Hood is much easier to get, especially with guild help, and is better.

As stated earlier, if this had a meta socket then it would be far superior.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This was buffed in patch 2.1 which makes it pretty decent now. Throw the Glyph of Power on it and shazam, +90 spell damage. Not too shabby at all.

Комментарий от Thottbot

why is that name so familiar...

Комментарий от Thottbot

Ogre Magi in WC2 I believe. Fun mission where you had to use the Eye of Killrog to scout. I really wish my warlock could lay down explodin runes....whatever. This thing is godly for any caster not relying on crits.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Hood of Oblivion with Swift Starfire Diamond and Glowing Nightseye has exactly the same spelldamage (40+12+5+5=62), same stamina and 2 more int.

An epic downgrade for an easily obtained item with easily obtained gems?

The Void Crystal you get from disenchanting this item will cover the cost of the gems.

Комментарий от Thottbot

This item, like many items, is using the pre-TBC cost for stamina. It should have 49 or 50 stamina to be appropriate for its quality.

Current at patch 2.0.1

Комментарий от Thottbot

This is the epitomy of Blizzard's sloppy itemization. This thing is at best a sidegrade to the second sight helm and an obvious downgrade from the both the spellstrike and battlecast craftables. It is of Gruul ffs.

Another thing is they used the same graphic as battlecast, which is lazy and lame, but I normally would not have minded. Why do I mind? The thing GIVES YOU A GD BUZZCUT! I tried it on in the dressing room and too my dismay looked like a penis with hair. That makes absolutely no sense.

Terrible item.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Blizzard has noticed this. I like that it looks like battlecast, the spellstrike looks like *!@# w/ my frozen shadoweave set, and I won't get the freaking -5 melee damage taken bull!@#$.

Plus, that is alot of spelldamage, and hopefully me after next patch. Maybe you are right, but who knows.

Комментарий от Thottbot

still not that great after patch, but an improvement for mana-etched/ witch hat i guess (heads i use depending on spec)

Комментарий от Thottbot

Neither vampiric embrace, nor vampiric touch can crit.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Affliction/demonology warlocks only really go for spell dmg and stats, Shadowbolt and Shadowburn are the only two abilites that require crits.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Again, remember that with improved shadowbolt every crit gives +20% shadow damage to EVERYONE for 10 secs, which makes for some very happy locks and shadowpriests, so not going for crit at all is not the best of choices even if you're affli/demon specced. This said, obviously crit chance is second choice, but nevertheless a good addition.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Hmm, maybe I could use this one for mage-tanking in GL... Would be quite a waste of a nice epic, but if no-one else needed it I'd spend a little bit of my DKP to get it. Lots of stamina and intellect is what's most important for mage tanking, but 68 spell damage would be a welcome bonus.

And ofc there's occasions where you just need a bit of extra stamina, and this one is not a bad choice for this for those not doing arena.

But generally, this is ofc of best use for those caster classes/specs not really depending on crits.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I got this on my Balance druid the other day, put shatt head ench on it, a good replacement from Oblivion head peice.
And like stated balance druids dont want alot of crit (20-25%) so win win i guess.

Def worth it imo ^_^
