4.3 Patch Preview - Fangs of the Father

4.3 Patch Preview - Fangs of the Father

“They wanted to hold me, to keep watch over me – a prisoner in all but name. But I will NOT be held accountable for the sins of my father. My destiny will be my own.”- Wrathion, the Black Prince

The Contract

Patch 4.3 will offer the most deadly and experienced rogues the opportunity to finally play a central role in the fate of the world the rogue’s way: by manipulating key events from the shadows. Players will travel across continents to accomplish crucial missions of reconnaissance, burglary, infiltration and, of course, assassination. Those familiar with the events that unfolded in the Badlands since the Cataclysm struck may recall the story of Rheastrasza, the ambitious red dragon who acquired a black dragon egg and magically purified it, cleansing it of the Black Dragonflight’s corruption. While those events may lead to a more hopeful destiny for Azeroth, it will take cleverness, stealth, skill, and the help of a few friends to unravel the web of intrigue that will reveal what became of the egg… and determine the fate of Deathwing himself.

Wetwork

Rogues willing to do whatever is necessary to ignite a brighter future must first delve into the Dragon’s Soul raid dungeon to begin the quest line. Those who prove their prowess within will be set on a collision course with Ravenholdt Manor and the enigmatic Black Prince, Wrathion. This shadowy figure could be the key to victory for the mortal races, but what is his true agenda? Before the truth behind these mysteries are revealed, enterprising assassins will need to fight tense raid battles against Deathwing’s most powerful minions, and embark alone on perilous missions to seal the fate of the Black Dragonflight. The quest culminates in the earth-scorching execution of Deathwing himself and a shocking revelation about the true nature of the mission.

What’s in it for me?

Rogues who succeed will receive a paired set of daggers that will become increasingly lethal as their bearer progresses along the legendary quest. At the height of their strength, they will be imbued with the vile essence of the Old Gods, as well as the maddened fury of the Black Dragonflight -- bestowing great power upon their bearer. These powers include a stacking increase to Agility which builds until dark wings unfurl from the rogue’s back, removing the combo point cost and increasing damage of finishing moves for a short time. In addition, the wings which can be spread on command (with no combat benefit) to slow a rapid descent, allowing the rogue to slowly fall to the ground… or enact a little death from above! When it comes to dealing death, the Fangs of the Father promise legendary killing power to rogues of any specialization.

 An incredible adventure and legendary rewards await. The future of all life on Azeroth hangs in the balance. Better get moving.

Need to make legendaries that are good and dont depend on using people to get to em.. I'm sick of relying on others to help me get what I want. (specially since no one will touch old content unless they need what I need) So what's the point? I wanna be able to solo my stuff

@Chromy: this would remove the point of a legendary existing because you are meant to as a team help 1 person to get 1 if you could solo it every single person in the game would have 1

@Blacksword: They already made one for Hunters, which has a very low chance of dropping off of Kil'jaeden in the Sunwell Plateau. Restoration shaman can use the legendary mace created from materials found in Ulduar. I've yet to see anything for Enhancement or Elemental shaman, however.

@Twinkeys: Not quite. The lucky rogue starts out by recieving a quest from the Red Dragonflight, discovers his new boss, and is sent on various assassination and raidboss-farming missions (done in Dragon Soul Normal or Heroic mode), and recieves the Fangs of the Father lengendary dagger set upon completion of the chain. Blizzard created an article about the quest chain a few days ago, if you want more details.

@Ruine: I don't see a problem with it. It kinda fits the lore of the Rogue, who is sort of like the "lone wolf" class, working for their own ends and bowing down to no one.

there 1 way to settle this in each city there be a quest giver to start you on a legendary quest and to finish it u have to complete around 30 to 40 quest with substanail gold to spend in heroic dungens as to getting near the end it get to raid 25 man were you can loot the boss for your piece of quest to finish. and you have to do it quite a few times as it a 25% drop rate and even to finshe the quest you have to kill 25 man Heroic ya i said heroic it is legendary for a reson and then when u finsh all ur quest and return to quest giver u have to fight him solo to prove yur worty and if u die in this encounter yuo have to give him 20 k gold to bribe him (20 k is easy these days) then you chose your weapon congrats u have ur first multy class legendary weapn and for further legendaries they should be like Hairloom as u lvl your weapon lvls with u
