OK, was running Blackrock Depths with a few friends on my enhancement shammie, and we were doing alright until we got to the final boss. seeing as we had all done the quest, we had the tank hold the main guy off to one side as we burned down the add. after we finished burning down the add, we started to burn down the emperor, as usual,but with a slight twist, we got him down to 10%, and the healer lagged horribly, and the tank died, followed shortly by the healer. me and the other 2 DPS managed to kite him around until he got to 1%, were we screwed up and the other two died. i continued to dps him, but without any heals, i died fast, but i noticed my self rez was up. thought "why not" popped it and hit him before he could reset. full MH windfury proc with nothing but crits, followed by a offhand crit, downed him on one shot. after rezzing the rest of the party, we looted, and guess what dropped? This. we all proceeded to roll on it, i won it with a 100 after someone had rolled a 99. needless to say i'm using it right now
back when MC was the thing to do. My second run on my shaman I was able tog et 4/6 earthfury and I remember how bad ass tauren shamans looked in it.
My best "epic" was fishing up the ! Ring in Orgrimmar. As a level 76 paladin i'ts completely useless to me, but I laughed my rear-end off when I looted it. I may have to create a new character just so I can get some use out of it.
The most epic would have to be when I took in my main, a prot pally, into arena's, in a 5 man. The battle lasted only a moment with all players dead, with exception to myself and a tauren warrior (both sides were horde). Then the real fun went..on, and on.Both myself and the warrior were left with a small amount of health, but, both were determined to win for our team. I used every available cool down, as did the warrior, but to no avail could either of us win. Every time I would get him close to the final blow, he would charge...every time I would be down to a small amount of health, I would bubble and heal as much as my mana would allow. This battle went on for over 28 minutes, both of us wanting to win, until finally, realizing I was not going to be defeated, he finally sat down, as I chunked away at him bit by bit. For whatever reason in his mind, just as I was about to land that final blow, he got up and charged, yelling at me I was taking to long. His hit allowed for a huge mana return on my judgement, and I managed to crit him for 1337! Talk about leet....and epic. We still talk about that fight to this day in my guild, and that happened almost a year ago
My favorite epic loot prior to WotLK was getting Tuskbreaker from a chest drop in ZA. Sadly, I just replaced it at level 78.
It was the emerald whelpling. A pet, but still really cool!
Well I've been pretty lucky with epic loots. I've had Gloves of Holy Light, Icemail Jerkin, Kang the Decapitator, Krol Blade, Life Giving Cloak, Kamaei's Cerulean Skirt and Pants of Living Growth all drop for me along with a couple of epic patterns. The most epic was probably Gloves of Holy Light, while waiting for a named mob to respawn a mob in the area spawned on top of me forcing me to kill, droping the gloves :)
