Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Greetz guys,

I'm bearer of the mighty Ironfoe and wanted to share my thoughts with you guys. Maybe some of you agree with me or can confirm some mechanics.

First I want to let you know the proc chance feels mediocre to terrible. For example: it seems to be on par with Hand of Justice, which has a 2% chance.
Does it scale with hit chance? Fighting lower level mobs that don't make me miss that much, I get a good amount of procs.
In addition it might have an internal cooldown, because It never chain-proced multiple times, but I got it immediatly after on the next autohit.

An annoying side effect is when using Heroic Strike/Cleave and get a proc, the rage consumption is doubled, but the spell effect is only applied to the first hit.

For a best-in-slot weapon until Ahn Quiraji/Naxxramas I expect a little bit more. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad overall, but not that cookie cutter that I expected.

Of course it does, at leat non-directly : swings that don't hit the target can't trigger a proc, thus more +hit means more procs.

I'm not sure I understand properly. If a special ability triggers an extra-attack, it's normal for the said extra-attack to be a MH white hit. Your sentence suggests you're expecting a proc from a special ability to actually trigger another time the ability.

Regarding the rage cost beging doubled, I suggest you double check that and report it on the Bug Tracker to get that fixed .

This item was bugged on many private servers, maybe you were used to that .

@youfie--

The ironfoe proc consuming additional rage on heroic strikes is similar to a wind fury bug whereupon heroic strike triggering wf removes 2 more heroic strikes worth of rage with none of the extra damage/threat.

I'm thinking ironfoes proc might be further bugged by not being trigger able by yellow attacks, similar to sword spec, although I can't confirm sword spec is bugged in that way

Okay, didn't know about that bug .

Make sure to report it then
