Humor / Meme Shoutout to that Warlock that yoinked Ashbringer from the last Naxx of TBC
That Warlock in StaySafe’s last Naxx of TBC that yoinked Ashbringer a couple years ago, I guess he was playing the long game because in a few months it will be useable in the Mists of Pandaria pre-patch.

I saw a warlock on retail with the warrior challenge mode sword on his wrath guard. No where near this level but I love seeming things like this

u/LeorickOHD Mar 03 '25
I have that same sword and other weps for that reason. I wish I had something this cool tho.

u/Hyrcyne- Mar 04 '25
Have a few warlocks alts (big altoholic). One of them have the WoD giant blue glaive from WoD CMs, my other lock had the big mace that everyone wanted off the Jailer in SL, when you could buy any raid weapons with dinars.
Warlocks going out of their way to get a sick 2H just as a cosmetic for their pets are cool as fuck. However I feel hella bad for the people rolling need on Corrupted Ashbringer and losing to a warlock that takes it for their Felguard to use 3 expacs later though lmao.

u/Luunii Mar 04 '25
There is no warrior specific sword and you can get the weapons on your alts aswell i have that on my wl and i never played wl in wod
6
u/_Gothicalcomy_ Mar 04 '25
The legion mage tower artifact appearances, would be the only "challenge weapon" I can think of that would be specific to only warriors but that is impossible to get on any other class unfortunately. The WoD challenge weapons are as like you said purchasable by any class as long as they've unlocked them.

u/LeftyHyzer Mar 04 '25
warriors also have a quest after lvl 10 once they complete the quest for defensive stance, it gives green weapons. and iirc labelled "class warrior", not that you'd want to give such a puny weapon to a pet.

I'm going to lie. I wouldn't be caught dead next to that pet in a Costco.

u/Bell_Grave Mar 04 '25
if you're unsure how that phrase works the thing you're not lying about is by omission, by not saying you think its cool looking in this situation
aka hes not lying because hes sayin it instead of keeping it to himself

u/midsizedopossum Mar 04 '25
It's a turn of phrase. Have you never noticed it used that way before? That's genuinely bizarre if true.

u/SvenskaLiljor 24d ago
It's a really stupid turn of phrase. Not gonna lie.

u/midsizedopossum 24d ago
It's no different to saying "to be honest" or anything similar.
Why do you think this one in particular is stupid? I suspect it's just because it's younger than you.

u/grethro Mar 04 '25
I guess the context is that corrupted Ashbringer was “wasted” on a warlock. I’m not going to pretend I think it was wasted at all.

u/Trick_Wrongdoer_5847 Mar 04 '25
So he wasn't lying when he said "keep it for transmog."
Or was this someone else?

u/StevenTheRock Mar 04 '25
And I was called crazy for trying to get teebus blazing longsword on my warlock.
It's not about the dps, it's about the drip.
22
u/onlygetbricks Mar 04 '25
Yes because the glyph works for 2h weapons not 1h
11
u/farmercyst Mar 04 '25
I think they intended to use Teebu's for their character transmog, not pet mog

u/Soggy_Association491 Mar 04 '25
When tbc launched teebus was less than 1k on AH because the box pickpockted from BRD mobs can drop it.

u/StevenTheRock Mar 04 '25
I didn't have that much at the start of tbc classic, in fact I think I finally got my dreadsteed like a day or two before it launched. So I was pretty broke heading into outland.

u/Organic-Week-1779 Mar 04 '25
Nah its unironically mostly contained to classic its not anywhere close like that on retail
Turns put most toxic manchildren are not just stuck in the past for this game but also mentally
Compared to classic a lot of women also play retail unlike classic i wonder why

u/Saked- Mar 04 '25
Yeah classic is just riddled with unhinged toxic manchildren, mostly on Nightslayer from what I see.

u/tacitry Mar 04 '25
Dreamscythe horde is really chill and helpful in my experience. Bizarrely a lot of people I meet on the anniversary servers never even played vanilla, they came to WoW years and years later. It’s a nice mix of new and old players supporting each other.

yeah PVE servers generally seem so much more chill and laid back than PvP servers.

Well if you're calling someone a white nationalist, it's usually best to give examples people can look up. It's a pretty big accusation, even slander in some places.

I have a corrupted ashbringer and went to SM the other night, invited the only other person there on the chance they weren't a bot and wanted to see the Cathedral Event.

That’s unfortunate and I didn’t know about any of that. Apparently the expectation around here is that you do a Google background search on any streamer you used to watch back in the day just to make sure they didn’t do anything bad before empathizing with them for losing the sword in such a devastatingly hilarious circumstance 6 years ago

Corrupted Ashbringer is an epic not a legendary so still would have been xmoggable no?

but, it's a purple-legendary in spirit with it's famously small droprate.

That was funny to watch. The man absolutely malded over the lock taking it, all because the idiot didn't think to use master loot, and instead gambled on rolling in a pug raid on stream. That thing was getting yoinked faster than he could have said need, if not for themselves than just for the clout of one-upping a streamer.

No, classic progressive servers. They're about to enter MOP where warlocks can assign weapons in their bags to their pets through a glyph. (This is my vague understanding of it, I'm sure the specifics of how it works are slightly different, but I've never mained warlock)
