Death Knight gets Thunderfury

But of course, there's a pretty big question that's simple enough: Death Knights can get Thunderfury? Yes, the bindings are now usable by all classes. German CM Rynundu confirmed this, and added that a future patch will get rid of the class restrictions on the tooltip. I have to admit, I may be a 2-hander diehard, but I'd have to reconsider dual wielding if one of those weapons was the Thunderfury. The DPS is nothing to write home about anymore, but damn if it doesn't have style.
Now here comes the next question: Will we see a Warlock walking around with Thunderfury just for the heck of it soon? And will we see the class restrictions come off of Illidan's Warglaives? This certainly would seem to open the door to just that. I have to admit, a pair of those might look cool too. But I'll still laugh at you if you try to roleplay a Death Knight Demon Hunter.

We cleared MC with two 80s (prot warrior and holy paladin) and a lvl 73 Hunter yesterday. The baron was tricky, but the rest easy going. So it's really just a matter of luck (for the bindings to drop) than skill.

I cleared MC for just about 80 weeks. Never saw a binding drop. This guy is on my sever, and admitted that he got insanely lucky on this drop on his first run.

Playing on Frostmane-EU myself I've seen the guy standing around in Dalaran with it before and I was impressed.
I'm not sure if the drop rate has been buffed or not, but a paladin in my guild got both bindings drop in a single run this week - now he's the proud owner of TF too.

Put me back on your F List and I'll see what I can do. Been a while since we did a CC slam raid. Be sure to holler at your priest and hunter friends for Lokh and Bennie.

People still wanted the haste debuff in TBC, but this is rediculous!
Moreover, does this mean the T1 in MC might have lost their restrictions?

And whats the point in having something so useless?
Ok yall have 22 slot bags and like that sort of crap...but for legendary items...there are some you may use by lvl 80

Style.

Legendary? What's that? I'm a shaman
More seriously, it does take dedication to go through this process even if level 80s lower the difficulty of clearing MC.
Grats to the people who pulled it off

Sulfuras was the shaman legendary, and many a warrior or paladin ate a Sulfuras enchanted with Windfury back in the day to prove it.
Amaxe Jan 3rd 2009 3:48PM
Whoops, forgot about Sulfuras... my bad
Madinauzi Jan 4th 2009 1:13AM
As soon as 3.0.8 hits, i'll be trying to get my sulfuras!
Amaxe Jan 4th 2009 9:21AM
Of course in my defense, I couldn't roll a Shaman til BC (my friends are all Alliance), and then nobody wanted to run the old stuff

Now go spam Trade channel like most... erm... "bored" people in Firetree did a few weeks ago (all reported for spamming.)

the bindings are only lootable to certain classes, this was actually gotten through a "bug" you might say. Someone who has all the materials ready to summon Thundaerean has him summoned, kills him, and master loots the wind kissed blade to whoever wants it i.e this DK.
The Elitist Jerk Jan 3rd 2009 3:49PM
Idiotic comment ITT #1.
The Dormant Wind-Kissed Blade is ONLY visible by the person who summoned Thunderaan. Therefore the DK did go through the effort of getting 2 bindings and 10 elementium ores.
