Seriously, unless a raid leader just wants shiny fire kitties in their raid, this isn't happening. And if it does, well, said raid leader is terrible and doing it for the wrong reasons.

Re: WHAT?!?! THIS IS AWESOME!
True but this stick was designed mostly for druids. Otherwise we A) Wouldn't become fire kitties or B) Hunters would become fire....something. Blizz made it pretty obvious despite we hunters share stats with druids. This will likely go to druids over hunters regardless if anyone thinks its wrong or not.Vephriel wrote:Hunters and Feral Druids compete for stat sticks anyways, this is nothing new. The weapon would be equally useful to both, there's no reason to prioritize one over the other...a bonus aesthetic has no weight in raiding or performance.Jessibelle wrote:raid leaders will probably still prioritize it to druids anyway. Druids will get it over hunters.
Since I also raid with Jessibelle, I will definitely let a druid get the staff over me because I feel it was designed for druids moreso than hunters. Druids haven't gotten much love in a long time. We hunters have been spoiled so rotten that we don't have any teeth and our gums are black.

It's easy to say "let's give feral druids THIS since we already have this beautiful artwork" but harder to say "uhm, hey art department, can you drop everything and make a fire-something that doesn't look ridiculous shooting?"
It's a shiny bonus, not a requirement to wield the thing.

Re: WHAT?!?! THIS IS AWESOME!
I know, I know. Not the same. But there's pets that are for hunters only, and people swear it (Even if they're only a shiny new skin and anyone can kill them) but when druids get a shiny staff that is so obviously intended for druids (Fire kitty form! Come on!) we immediately have hunters going, "Ah, no. Not for druids only."
Again, I know it's not -quite- the same situation, but it does amuse me.

Re: WHAT?!?! THIS IS AWESOME!
Ehhhh. The rewards to either side with clearly intended hunter pets have nothing to do with numbers and are purely cosmetic/emotional. It's not exactly the same thing.Azunara wrote:*snickers.*

Unless you can link to another stat stick in the Firelands raid, though, I don't buy the argument.

Re: WHAT?!?! THIS IS AWESOME!
Yeah, it's not quite the same, like I said. That saying, it is obvious to have a much more sentimental value and use to a druid than it would a hunter. It may not specifically be a druid thing, and it may not say it, and they may have the same stats, but there is an underlying idea of, "Well, it is more "valuable" to a druid than a hunter."Kalliope wrote:Ehhhh.

Re: WHAT?!?! THIS IS AWESOME!
1) I am getting that staff on my Hunter. Why? Cause we have no ferals in my raids.
2) My Druid is getting this on alt-raid night because we have no feral raiders.
Good times... good times...
Man this should turn my pet cat into a firecat. That would rock. I CAN DREAM!

You know, this is actually a fantastic idea. Then neither class could stake a claim and the art department doesn't have to do more work. Huzzah!Rikaku wrote:Man this should turn my pet cat into a firecat. That would rock. I CAN DREAM!

Re: WHAT?!?! THIS IS AWESOME!
Now to get my guild to let me raid on my feral alt for that staff.
I guess once we have that boss on farm...

Re: WHAT?!?! THIS IS AWESOME!
If there would be any other two-handed agility item i would say give it to the druids but we hunters will need it so we can enchant it with the + 130agility enchant we need. *sorry dear druids but hunter's will be needing this to *

Re: WHAT?!?! THIS IS AWESOME!
Yep, thar be a polearm. And it's a trash drop, so it can theoretically be AHed.
Soooooo, grats druids, that's very much a point in your favor. I concede the point!
