Blizzard Claws > Claws of the Furious Storm

Just wanted to know if this change was intended, I'm playing a beastlord that wore the blizzard claws (H2H primary secondary with a cool 400dmg proc) and now iI just noticed t's a non BST useable 1HS with Whispers of Hate proc. It would be a harsh hit for me to destroy it since it was clearly my best weapon, but it's no use for me as it is.
 
Did it drop in SK or SE? If so prolly got "upgraded" along with my 2h sword that was changed to a 1hb. Sword wasnt a big heartbreak though because I really didnt use it.
 
Pretty sure its meant to be the equivalent of Ragebearer for giant killers... but yea, it does kinda stink for BSTs and MNKs that had looted it. However, the new claws are definately more useful for the guild looking for stick with Dragon faction.
 
Well it"s one thing to make an item equal for each side but I just find that senseless, do both sides really have to be totally symetrical o_O Dragons aren't giants ffs, they have the right to do different weapons and gear don't they ? and well why not making Great Librarian drop a book of Archmagi so that every caster in this world would gate to badlands and cheer endlessly at the spires in a burst of joy ?
As you say it really stinks for BST/MNK, the super H2H just became another one of many 1HS for the tank [EDIT : I'd rather say Armor wearing classes, it's WAR RNG BARD maybe SK or something] classes and we have to change our gear to go with it ? (I have a nice +10 to H2H skill on my gloves, perhaps I could just suggest removing it and make it proc teddybear hug ?)
OK sarcasm off, anyhow I'd just like an official stance on the subject ( Jayelle I think is in charge of item design ?) because for once I honestly have the feeling it was not supposed to be this way, no high level farting or anything.
 
Definitely Jayelle LOL!

But to be honest, it sounds like a bug to me :/ Even if they did change some items around, they wouldn't take a Monk item and make it War only (or some such). In addition, I've seen bugs where procs have changed on accident due to other changes in game, so it doesn't seem like that big a stretch of imagination.

Maybe it's a bug, maybe not, but neither Onos or I have any actual knowledge of what's going on =P. (Well let me speak for myself; I don't). We're just speculating. Did you /petition it? Or /buglist it?
 
Sorry for the confusion :p for some reason your names sound the same in my head.
Anyway back to topic, no I'm not eager to visit the Plane of Justice anytime soon so I prefer "discussing" the problem rather than petitioning something that obviously isn't fixable by GMs, nor buglisting which is more likely to be a mistake than a bug.
I'm not in a hurry, so for now I'll just keep the weapon in secondary hand. But I cannot proc anything for sure, and my hit rate is down 100% :( But I will hold ! I won't throw my life away before someone from the staff answers my question ! FTW
By the way if it should be moved to suggestion/request forum, please feel free to do so even if I don't think it fell in this category.
 
I highly doubt ( note: it is possible ) that they would change an item so that the previous version of said item allowed classes to use the item, and the modern version didn't allow those classes to use it, that would be quite stupid.
 
Petition to have it replaced with a Quickwind Baton. Due to the incredibly limited classes on weapon drops in SE, we had to totally revamp some of them.
 
how about changing claws back to mnk/bst and leaving the hate proc? it would make it a good utility weapon for tanking (before the change it wasn't that good of a mnk/bst weapon anyway)

No. SE needs the equivalent of Ragebearer, and the mob that drops the claws already has a mnk bst only item, two mnk bst on the same raid mob is overkill.
 
First, thanks to Wiz for the clarification , I'll petition it asap. Hope the Quickwind Baton isn't too nerfed compared to Blizzard Claws :p
Second, to Momatose, that's what I call high level farting :p it was a very good weap, I mean good stats and a near 400dmg proc (w/cunning) it's good enough.
 
I know , it's a bug (Baton is staff in french fyi, I suppose it comes from there), it's gonna be changed soon I'm sure.
