We've datamined a new Nozdormu 2-handed Scythe weapon model on the Patch 10.1 PTR! Attached to the model is an icon that clearly links the weapon to the Bronze Dragon Aspect.
- inv_staff_2h_nozdormuscythe_d_01
From the maroon braided leather to the inlaid sand hourglass and even the dragon visage on top, this weapon looks custom made for Nozdormu.
The developers have stated in a few interviews that the focus for Patch 10.1 Embers of Neltharion will be the legacy of the Black dragonflight, but that the Bronze dragonflight story has not been forgotten and will continue in future patches. Is the creation of this scythe just a setup for those patches or will we see Nozdormu playing a role in the events of 10.1?
Regardless, it's interesting to see a weapon for use in an Aspect's visage form since dragons typically opt for combat in their dragon forms. Will we see Nozdormu engage in visage form combat with this new weapon or will it just be a focus for his time magic?
Is there a situation where the weapon was created to fight players in his visage form in an early phase of a future raid encounter? Ok that last one might be a bit out there, but if it isn't then this weapon better be a rare drop because my Evoker needs this transmog.
We have seen Nozdormu wield another 2-handed staff previously in Cataclysm, the
Staff of Dominance
from Molten Core, but we agree it was time for an update.
The choice of a scythe is particularly interesting as it tends to be a rather rare weapon type in World of Warcraft. However, the scythes that do exist tend to be more notable weapons including the Balance Druid Artifact weapon, the
Scythe of Elune
, or the
Scythe of the Unmaker
wielded by the corrupted World-Soul Argus.

Remember that even if we fight and defeat Nozdormu/Murozond, we won't be actually killing him. His death is during the End Time dungeon during Cataclysm- so he has to escape back in time to then. We'll still get plenty of loot though- remember that Jaina, Sylvanas, and Anduin have all been raid bosses (even final raid bosses) that we defeat but don't kill.
That's not really necessarily true we defeat him in The End Time during the "one true timeline" who even knows if we are still on that one now with all the stuff that's happened also I'm hoping we actually work with the infinite dragionflight the race through time chromie quest stuff showed us it is possible so the infinite dragons arent just attack on sight creatures but I hope we work with them or old gods to stop the Titans
You're confusing 'seeing the future' and 'the one true timeline' with 'events that already happened'.
The events during The End Time have happened, will happen, and have to happen. All the timey wimey nonesense can do is recontextualize those events. Maybe Murozond isn't actually Nozdormu from the future, but another character (like Anachronos, Soridormi, or Chromie) who takes that persona to fulfill the event. Maybe all the meddling events of the Infinite Dragonflight have mostly happened already, and thus while they're founded soon in the future they recruited and did many years of activity during the previous expansions, and can be friendly to the Bronze and to us. This would make Murozond still the same Nozdormu, but he mellows out and decides to sacrifice himself willingly during the End Time. Or a hundred other possibilities, but at the very least an infinite dragon calling themselves Murozond has to die during that Cata dungeon, as that's the vision Nozdormu saw when he became Aspect, and that's the event we participated in.
Also I doubt we'll have to stop the Titans themselves- while they don't particularly like us fleshy mortals, they respect our strength and appreciate that we generally fight for what they want. We'd have to know what happens to awakened titans and their planets to consider turning against the Titans, MOTHER, Magni, etc. The only Order pantheon characters we'll be fighting are those with more narrow viewpoints who think they know better i.e. Odyn.
