Fyr'alath the Dreamrender

Hotfix Update

Fyr'alath the Dreamrender's periodic effect Mark of Fyr'alath has been hotfixed to be Hasted and can Crit. We're working on an update as to how that works out damage-wise for the new legendary axe.

Mark of Fyr'alath DoT Hotfixed for Crit & HasteFyr'alath the Dreamrender's EffectFyr'alath the DreamrenderMark of Fyr'alath: Passive DoT DamageMark of Fyr'alathFyr'alath the DreamrenderMark of Fyr'alathnot hastedcannot crit

Blood: Heart Strike, Death Strike, Marrowrend, Soul Reaper (initial hit), Consumption (all targets), Bonestorm (every tick)

Frost: Frost Strike, Obliterate (main target only), Frostscythe, Soul Reaper (initial hit)

Unholy: Scourge Strike, Clawing Shadows, Apocalypse, Soul Reaper (initial hit)

A charge (Rage of Fyr'alath)

A channeled effect (Rage of Fyr'alath) that starts when the charge lands, and ticks instantly and every 0.5s for 3s. Every time it ticks, it deals heavy damage to all enemies in front of you, split evenly between them. When this begins, this consumes all Mark of Fyr'alath present on any enemy, and increases the damage of this channel by up to 50% - 10% for each mark. This channel is not hasted, and you cannot move while this channel is happening.

A final detonation Explosive Rage in a 5yd circle around you at the end of the channel. This appears to also be split.

Implications & Verdict: Blood DK (Tank)Mark of Fyr'alathfineBlooddrinkerBlooddrinkerRage of Fyr'alathRage of Fyr'alath

If it is safe to do so, use it as the third GCD of an encounter, just before Dancing Rune Weapon. If you are fighting multiple targets, add a Heart Strike before casting it to add more marks - and therefore more damage - to the channel

If it is unsafe to do so, or if you risk dying while doing so, use Fyr'alath the Dreamrender after your last GCD during Dancing Rune Weapon

Hunters were mad af that the bow was strong enough to be mandatory for hard content, but when it's tuned to be a clear gain but not mandatory people are mad that it's not strong enough for a legendary.

If this was way stronger than anything else we'd have a massively toxic season ahead where any strength class would be required to get this asap and if you get unlucky you don't get to play, and they'd need to be tuned way weaker to avoid it breaking class balance.Comment by sumpfkingcant wait to play heroic raid and people want you to have that weapon as a plate meele <333Comment by GodsFaithholy. no one complains as much as bdk playersComment by ArexithUhahahaha

The game's directors did a great job of creating probably the worst legendary weapon in the entire history of this game.
