MMO Champion reveals in game footage of Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury

by Daniel Whitcomb Apr 10th 2008 at 6:30PM

Boubouille of MMO Champion has a special treat for Hunters and loot hounds everywhere today, unveiling footage of the legendary bow Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury in action. The bow itself looks pretty awesome, with lots of detail and colors. In addition, it looks like when you shoot it, you get a pretty nice light show going on. I'd say that they've managed to make it rather legendary indeed, looks wise. It's worth noting that the stat data shown in this video is from PTR data mining, so it may not keep those exact stats when the 3rd gate opens and Kil'jaedan is finally downed, but I imagine a lot of Hunters (myself included) are drooling big time over this little glimpse, and can't wait to get their hands on it regardless.

nicee, that brings up a good point...why should you only be able to buy different types of arrows, why not get the ability to buff arrows/bullets...ice arrows slow down attack speed and movement, fire arrows, drop a fire tick on mobs, poison arrows, poison tick, im not a hunter, but i always thot you should be able to enchant ammo. rogues add poisons to their weapons, shammys add enhancements to theirs...

Well, since this bow doesn't use ammo at all (it generates it magically, which is why it's 45 dps or so above the current best obtainable bows, that's kind of a moot point.

if that were the case; it not using ammo, why does it mention that the ranged attack speed increase does not stack with ammo pouches. also the video shows it shooting arrows.

maybe i'll check wowhead for more information.

@jrb

It shoots "magical" arrows, it doesn't require an ammo pouch or ammo.

It has the ranged attack speed increase because you no longer need an ammo pouch so it frees up a bag slot.

I think it's pretty handy that it has that graphic, so that when you find yourself getting totally owned by a hunter you'll think "oh, I see that cool light effect, it's that epic bow that he's owning my face with."

fwiw, the bow is Legendary, not Epic. That's kind of the whole point of this article.

We need a legendary gun, too.

No self-respecting Dwarf hunter would ever be seen carrying around some fancy elven twig-and-string arrow-tosser.

SpaceDog Apr 10th 2008 7:28PM

Well it looks to be metallic and doesn't use arrows, or appear to have any actual string so... close enough? :D

I think I would officially go batty and start leveling like crazy to get a chance at making a crafted legendary gun. Ideally one that's about as big as a gnome.

I love watching videos of things I'll never have

Nickel Apr 10th 2008 9:02PM

isobelle Apr 10th 2008 9:09PM

agility, crit, AP, and armor ignore?

mescovic Apr 10th 2008 9:51PM

Does anybody know what big nerds you all are?

dart Apr 11th 2008 7:13PM

epeen much?

Reminds me of Taulmaril the Heartseeker - Catti-Brie's bow from the "Drizzt" series of books. It was always described as a bow with an unlimited supply of arrows that when fired shot as glowing blue sparkling energy.

Very cool--very freaking cool. :)

Exactly what I thought watching the video, and likely the inspiration for this bow.
