Is anyone sure that this item is clickable? As in, do they have the item and are able to confirm this? I have noticed that a lot of the time the effect information on Allakhazam isn't always correct in terms of triggered or random, so before people rant on and on about how uber or worthless this item is, maybe you should find out first. Thats all I had to say - and please don't respond to this by saying "look, it says it's triggered... that means it's clickable" just because Allakhazam's says it's triggered doesn't mean it really is. I'm just asking for some ranger who has one to confirm this or deny it.
does anyone know the cast time or the recast time, it must have a long recast time, or a long cast time , cause they couldn't make a wep that had a 620 dd spell on it, that was clickable, without a long re-cast time, or you would have a quite alot of dead rangers, cause anything doing like 620 dmg every 3 or 4 seconds is gunna get agroed on and killed, would make a sweet wepon if it only had a 2 second cast time and a 2 second re-cast time , and it was war usable, you could just tank with normal weps, put it on click it , then take it off, and then repeat, thats probly the reason it is war useable though = )

I cant imagine any other crappy drop for a ranger... so what its a 620dd. If that ever goes off when fighting you'll get agro pretty much instantly and then your paste.... Jolt wont even save you.
Not to mention the ratio on the thing.... Im pretty sure a minotaur battle axe is better.
I feel sorry for anyone that won this thing.. <DESTROY>
Don't know whats wrong with your jolt, cinder jolt or jolting blades, but I use the sister to this dagger from Howling Stones Steel Hilted Flint Dagger, which procs a 625dd fire spell.
I have yet to die from agro from that weapon and I use this weapon alot in group combat. If I get agro, Just cast jolt and boink the mob is back on the MT. I warn the tanks to taunt when I am about to start using it and sometimes I cast jolt once or twice before equipping it to make sure that I am low on the hate list.
Really it all boils down to your MT in the group or raid and how good he is at keeping aggro.

That's what I always said. It's pretty crappy when the only items that are worth wearing are items you share with other classes. As soon as you see druid only, you know that the AC will suck, the weight will be as high as plate armor, and the stats only in the middle. As soon as it's usable by another class, it becomes decent.
If the effect of this is indeed a 620pp DD that is TRIGGERED and not random, then this is indeed a useable item. Just keep it handy to switch into a hand, trigger the Effect and switch back out..or go crazy and chain cast with it. It just isn't the melee weapon it presents itself as.
Why are so many Rangers posting and saying they are insulted by this item? I would think a mana free 620 DMG DD would be great for them. If you notice this is a triggered effect. I have not even seen one post that stats the casting time. So how do you even know if this is good or not? My guess is that its 6-8sec which makes this ideal for any kites. Just adds one more mana free way to burn threw those HP when mob is rooted. Who knows maybe the casting time is 3 sec, that would be very very good.

Posting some of the info on the stats without a screen shot have had errors from time to time. I highly doubt that a 620pt proc would be clickable for a ranger. For a caster, yes, I could easily see that, but not for a melee class.

The dmg delay on the two weapons are the same. Steel/flint dagger procs calefaction (450dd) and believe it or not with nice dex you can do the same, if not slightly better, damage as you do with epic in primary hand at level 60. So...using this daggger, with flint dagger, you would be doing so much dmg with procs that you would be aggroed and killed instantly. Sounds fun.
Why does everything that drops in a difficult and dangerous zone have to be uber? You may argue Risk vs. Reward, but this is not the only thing that's going to drop off the mob that drops this. Think of this as the random joker loot that pops up every once in a while. :)
Note that this effect is TRIGGERED, it doesn't proc. Spell Info on Frost Shards:
lvl * 10 damage (up to 620 damage) Cold resistance check **NO MANA COST**
NOT a bad spell. The key here -- it's a SITUATIONAL item. I'll let you decide which situation. And if you are too *cool* to use it, practice Destroy. No one's forcing you to use it, or particularly interested in listening to you b*tch about it. :)
