Viper - Question about the timeline & PvP.
Do you think that means they're doing it blizzlike? As in, before BWL was released. Tier 1 and 2 were obtainable in MC, including Talisman of the Binding Shard.
And then in preparation for BWL's release, in patch 1.4, the Talisman became no longer obtainable along with the Tier 2 sets (save the pants from rag and helm from ony). The Tier 2 sets were then once again obtainable in the BWL patch, but the Talisman was never put back in the game.
If I remember correctly, only one person ever had it drop, and he got to keep the item after it was removed from the game's loot.
