Phat Loot Phriday: Arcanite Reaper
Phat Loot Phriday: Arcanite Reaper Yes, the Reaper, like 40 man raiding, has basically gone the way of the dodo. But with the coming of the Arcanite Ripper and even more references in Wrath, you kids today might not realize that there was once a weapon that everybody simultaneously loved and feared. Name: Arcanite Reaper (Wowhead, Thottbot, Wowwiki) Type: Rare (yes, it’s not even Epic) Two-Hand Axe Damage/Speed: 153-256/3.80 (53.8 DPS) Abilities: · +13 Stamina (this was before resilience was introduced to the game), +62 Attack Power (which is still substantial, but back then was phenomenal) · And the main reason the Reaper was so nuts was because of it’s slow attack, but high damage. Back in the day, before things got all normalized, Mortal Strike was the shiznit. It was an instant attack based on weapon damage, and since this weapon’s damage was so high, pushed forward by the Attack Power bonus, Warriors basically owned PvP back around early level 60 times. In fact, you might even be able to trace the current population of Warriors
