The Precious…
Go read MMO-Champion for all the official 2.4 Test Realm Patch Notes goodness. We’ll be along in a bit; got some drool to clean off the desk first.
Doesn’t use a quiver or arrows, it makes it’s own… /faint
Trading card game Rocket Mount… /passout
Now wait a d@mn minute. This isn’t fair. “Phoenix Pet”? Non-combat thing or Hunter-pet? We think Mania will start raiding 24/7 if this thing can be tamed.

WAAAAAAAAH!
*must have bow* {drool}
*must have bow*
*must have bow*
/fail {moan}
*must have bow*
*must have bow*
(why, oh why does it have to drop from a T6+ boss :c)
Mania won´t be the only one doing so if that happens to be tameable…
so cuuute!
may i please have your e-mail address so i can ask a question/opinion to you..don’t see it on your webpage.
thanks maddog,corina
Hmm… If it produces its own arrows, then it’s possible that you don’t get the arrow DPS bonus… Black Bow of the Betrayer - 95.8 DPS, Timeless arrow - 53 DPS, total 148.8 DPS. Thori’dal - 148.7 DPS == Epic fail.
Well, the other bonuses are nice, but one still expects a bit of a DPS increase from an orange weapon
that thing is slower than an turtle mount. :/
WTB permanent haste rating gear
I started drooling over that bow the second I heard “legendary” and “bow” in the same sentence. Looks like Blizz is making up for the fact that the Warglaives weren’t hunter-weapons.
@maddog - Read back on this blog a little bit, you’ll find why the email is nowhere to be found.
unfortunately,this bow hasn’t any +stamina…but it still an exelent bow for pvp ^^ neeeeeeeed !
If it gets a DPS bonus from whatever arrows it can use, and that is equivalent to what we can get now, then this bow is by far the best weapon out there…
For MM and Surv. I’m not convinced that it will actually be an upgrade from BBRL, I hope it will be, but I fear it won’t be. So sad… And if that is the case, this is the most impressive Legendary fail Blizzard could ever have hoped to make.
In any case, since MM slowly gains on the massive lead BM has and by T6 it isn’t that much behind, I think this might be enough to push it into the top spot again. And once more we have collected the PvP and DPS in one tree. Fail again Blizzard.
Luckily there i hardly going to be many of these lying around in Orgrimmar, so for the 99.9% of us who won’t even hear that it has dropped on our server, BM remains top dog.
But PLEASE make that phoenix a pet… A flaming pet, just lovely, but make it hard. Make it a reward for an enpic quest. Give us a chance to have something to work towards since we have lost the Ghost Wolf.
The mounts are cool, I just hope they will be rare, very rare. Like the mount drops, or perhaps even less.
I hope the phoenix is the apolgy to the Hunter community for taking away the ghost puppies and it’s tameable.
But I want it to be like the ghost puppies in that it’s a challenging tame.
erm, i think people are mislead by your statement.
“Doesn’t use a quiver or arrows, it makes it’s own”
It requires quivers and arrows. What it doesnt do is
“stack with quiver or ammo haste effects”
Doesn’t stack with Quiver haste…odd. That means quivers are no longer needed, which would free up a slot for an extra bag, but you will still need a place to put all your arrow, so I don’t see the point except to render your expensive and hard-earned quiver completely worthless. Or, if you keep your quiver to get those extra couple slots for arrows then the Bow stat is completely worthless. Would have been nicer if they just made it a 1%-5% stackable haste.
If you RTFA, it says “uses no ammo”, so no quiver nor space for arrows needed. It would be nice to know what type of arrows it creates.
Thank You Kindly,
Corwyn
You realize that that stuff is completely fake, right?
Oh thx Corwyn,
That makes more sense. I was just going by the graphic and didn’t see the link. Thank you for kindly pointing it out.
Now GFY
At Poolstick,
You DO realize that these are currently on the PTR right now? As in, people can see them and touch them in game?
What did they do, hack into the PTR and implant false date that Blizzard is not aware of..?
“Please research before commenting about the non existing of existing things.” - Bigfoot
as far as im aware, the bow will not use any ammo at all… and while normal weapons will use bow dmg + ammo dmg… this thing will just use its base dps stat and nothing else.
so on shots that do get ammo bonus, this will not be a significant upgrade. On the shots that ignores ammo stats, this bow WILL be performing better.
so probably not a huge upgrade from existing weapon/ammo setups.
+ epeen
+ saves ammo costs and bag space
- dps upgrade is “shrug” worthy
If this’s an early April Fool’s, I’ll happily be fooled for a happy fantasy for a bit. A BOW! that uses no ammo? A neato weapon like that and it’s not a gun? Squee. That’d totally save my bacon (er, beef?) as I’m a terrible packrat and always have jammed bags/bank full of odd shiny things (such as interesting shirts or two-year-old Preserved Holly or a Hallow’s Wand from my first celebration). Bring on the spare bagspace!
And even if the fiery bird looks kewl and can be tamed…how would it different from any other bird-pet flapping in groupmates’ faces? ^^; Besides being, like, fiery while doing it.
I think I just shat myself.
Am i the only one who dislikes the idea of WoW bonuses given to people who spend extra money on some card game?
guys the bow is true from what i heard
and it does spawn his own ammo
the only thing is u can only use it in raids like MH,BT etc etc.
and the Phoenix is a 310% mount dunno how to get 1
but i already saw someone flying on it
call me a n00b, but where does it say it doesn’t use ammo?
Folks… the bow does make its own arrows.. there is a post on MM0-Champion that shows the breakdown the effects.
Yeah, it might only do the same DPS as the Black Bow and timeless arrows but its going to save the hunter a crapload of gold. Those arrows are bloody expensive and I burn through 40-50 stacks of ammo clearing Hyjal and BT.
The Phoenix mount is a ultra-rare drop off of Kael (last boss in TK)… think “Baron mount” rare for those of you that actually did pre-BC instances.
