Tied with https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=18815 for worst epic in the game award.

The proc will rarely happen, and even if it does, it's barely any armor. Plus it only affects party members. Just plain bad. If you get one, DE it or sell to someone who thinks it's useful.

Commento di 4130

While this is without a doubt the most useless epic in the game, it's an exceptionally rare drop and people will actually pay good money just to say that they have one. It's that infamous.

Commento di 8691

It's not a very good item, so don't waste money on it. Also, reference to WC3, an item of the same name provided Devotion Aura.

Essence of the Pure Flame is, mind you, pretty bad. But it in aoe tanking situations - which it was I imagine designed for - it offers a robust increase to your outgoing dps to all those mobs you're picking up. And that is pretty respectable.

Now, THIS thing? THIS thing is horrible. It's just awful. It was awful at 60 and it was awful at 58. It's awful at 45. If this dropped off a mob in Wailing Caverns when you were level 17 and being run through by a higher level character, you would equip it ONLY because you don't have trinkets at that level, and it would STILL SUCK.

For one thing, passive armor trinkets are generally kinda iffy. They were useful while tanking things like Patchwerk, where a mob is landing huge hits on you nonstop that are pure physical, and they were also useful to bear druids. Well, they still are useful to bear druids, but there's not too many patchwerkesque fights out there. Granted I'm not saying there isn't, I'm just saying I can't think of any off the top of my head. Now, this would still suck for patchwerk. 250 armor? That's not really a whole ton. I mean it's useful bonus, but ONLY if it's up ALL THE TIME. The minute armor isn't up all the time, you can start considering it as divided by the amount of time it isn't up. Now, most mobs hit you something like 2-3 times every five seconds, or we'll say 2.5 every 5 x 12, or 30 hits a minute. So you can probably expect to crack the buff, oh, I dunno, once every three minutes. That means it will be up about one-sixth of the time, so we can divide 250 by six.

Or a passive armor bonus of ~41.6. Wow. Now that there is an epic item. Epic SUCK. Granted it does effect your entire party, but how often is everyone in your party taking hits? Not especially often.

The best thing you could ever do with thing is shown right up in the top corner. Buyout 750g. Yep. It's very rare, so it gets sold to collectors who want those oddball items that never drop. This is sort of like an artifact from a lost age, except instead of being a fascinating relic of lost times, it's god awful and so terrible you'd never hear the end of it if you wore it.

Commento di Bellar

Actually, this used to be the ultimate trinket for flag carriers in WSG. The reason is that it had a bug where it would disconnect players who attacked someone wearing it.

So you would see the flag carrier going through with the flag and everyone would focus fire him. Then all of a sudden those attackers would start disconnecting.

See, all this criticism is fine and dandy, but no-one has said how it drops.

It's a World Drop, with about a 0.02% chance, at best, amongst level 55+ elite mobs.

And I find this item, along with Essence of the Pure Flame, to be VERY handy while farming Deadmines...

Commento di 64287

Back in Warcraft III there was an item with the same name and icon. It gave your hero a lesser replica of the Paladin's Devotion aura which could translate into 5-6% damage reduction for all nearby friendly units.
I guess this item is reffered as "epic" in WoW just because it is an old part of the Warcraft universe, not due to its ...great quality.

Commento di rolled64

word cannot describe how useless this item is

Commento di Thottbot

The proc does not work for your group members. It has a horrid proc rate, and at the moment only buffs yourself.

Commento di Thottbot

had this drop off a random trash in ubrs

Commento di Thottbot

agree, just remove the whole crap

Commento di Thottbot

it should also summon an epic lion mount, then id use it.

Commento di Thottbot

i got it in UBRS today...

dropped at: a mob JUST before we killed The Beast.

Commento di Thottbot

The best thing about this epic : You can disenchant it into a nexus crystal without worries or hard feelings. NOONE cares if you disenchant it.

Commento di Thottbot

This thing is no way close to being epic,I am pretty sure Blizzard has forgotten to put a 0 after the 250 or some of them are colorblind and mixed green with purple.

This trinket should be more like this:

Requires Level 58
Equip: When struck in combat has a 1% chance of increasing all party member's armor by 2500,Attack Power by 250 and increases all damage and healing done by spells and effects up to 100 for 30 sec.

Now thats what I call epic and worth being used over "rare" trinkets,it helps tanks,physical DPS,spell damage and even gives a bonus to healer.

I really hope for Blizzard to boost it up and change it to similar like what I had in mind.

Commento di Thottbot

Edgemaster's Handguards are excellent for a DW class doing boss damage, superior to any other gaunts in the game in fact for boss fights for DW.

Commento di Thottbot

Is this item even in the game anymore?

Commento di Thottbot

This epic was around when people were still "raiding" UBRS, Strath, BRD, etc. I think it lost it's "epic" value when Dire maul came out and Molten core was a farm by some guilds. Me personally have never seen this item in over 2 years.

Commento di Thottbot

it is, i just saw it on the AH on Dragon(drama)blight, for like 200g, first time ive seen it

Commento di Thottbot

This trinket should be more like this:

Requires Level 58
Equip: When struck in combat has a 10% chance of increasing all party member's armor by 1500, Attack Power by 200 and increases all damage and healing done by spells and effects up to 100 for 10 seconds.

Commento di Allakhazam

Guardian Talisman this is way better.....

Commento di Allakhazam

For a lvl 58 epic, this isn't great.

Commento di Allakhazam

this never drop ever lol and its so crappy that even if it dropped no one would want to pick it upp!

Commento di Allakhazam

nobody really cares about shammies. They get wtf pwned by a paladin anyway. And besides i thought the topic was on some epic item that never drops and if it did, shouldnt be used by anyone anyway ?

Commento di Allakhazam

worst crap ever period! Honestly!
i had the missfortune to loot this.
sold it for 20g.

this item should be awarded for kinda "worst item in game"

i would definatly vote for this

Commento di Allakhazam

This item dropped off Baron Rivendare in Stratholme.

Commento di Allakhazam

this item is a serious joke, maybe if it was a 250 stam,agi,str,int or something like that for a min it would be worth its epic status.. as for now d/e it

Commento di Allakhazam

NERF PLZ OVERPOWERED

Commento di Allakhazam

Noooo, it's a full party thing. It stacks too. If it did more, that would completley kill mass- PvP. PvP is about skill, not luck.

Commento di Allakhazam

At level 1 this item is useless...

Commento di Allakhazam

Are there any druids that have this? Does the 250 armor multiply by 360% when in bear form?

Commento di Allakhazam

I wouldn't use this if it were a green quest reward.

Commento di Allakhazam

This has to be the most useless item ever, even if it were a quest reward for a level 10 character, it would still be useless.

Even if the effect was passive, let alone ONE PERCENT chance, it still sucks ass from a straw.

If it were to even be useful it should be 10% chance when hit to increase armor by 1000 and reduce damage from spells by 20% or something.

Commento di Allakhazam

probably another alliance only item, that has uber stats, and will help the alliance be dominant as always... *smiles*

will us horde get anything like this? lol

Commento di Allakhazam

this dropped off a guard in AV yesterday. Yay for free for all looting. :P

just going to try to sell it I guess. /shrug

Commento di Allakhazam

I think this beats Shadowstrike as the worst epic in the game. It should be green, not purple...

Commento di Allakhazam

really thing item is crap for epic.. maybe give a aura for raid or party gorup least that have 1% proc for 250 is a epic

Commento di Allakhazam

make it better!.. /sigh
maybe like 5´chance instead of one.. and like 500 armor.. would be a little better ^^

Commento di Allakhazam

...lol wtf? xD sux

Commento di Allakhazam

just dropped off Nerub'enkan in stratholme tonight.

Commento di Allakhazam

Free nexus crystal imo just wait for them to buff it, they buffed a few items you may have DEd before 1.10 maybe this will be like "Makes you be a sw guard, and bang the kings wife"

Commento di Allakhazam

If a shammy is carrying a major healing potion nub they wtf own paladins..The only reason Paladins can even beat someone is because the cowards bubble to avoid getting killed not that it helps since they die right after it anyway =)

Commento di Allakhazam

I'd think more of +20 sta, +5 str, 5% to 1k armor... THAT would be epic :S

Commento di Vilorin

In SoD, people are trying to sell this garbage for 75k-100k gold. LMAO
