WoW: Cataclysm still on target for a 2010 release
Phat Loot Phriday: Last Laugh
by Mike Schramm 
Jul 17th 2009 at 2:00PM
Name: Last Laugh (Wowhead, Thottbot, Armory)
Type: Epic One-hand Axe
Damage/Speed: 192-357 / 1.60 (171.6 DPS)
Attributes:
- +37 Strength, +73 Stamina. Interesting -- I don't know if I've ever seen a weapon where the attribute numbers are reversed like that. Probably not done intentionally, but it's an interesting little quirk.
- Increases Defense rating by 31 and parry rating by 34. So it's obviously a tanking axe. Which is too bad...
- ... because it also adds to your hit by 24. That's a nice stat for melee and even some Hunters, but with the rest of the stats on this one, it remains squarely in the domain of the meatshields.
- Plus, it has a face. A demon face. This axe is so metal.
- And it'll give you the last laugh, because with all of that Defense, you'll still be standing when your foes run out of HP. And as the old Italian saying goes, "Ride bene chi ride l'ultimo."
Getting Rid of It: Sells for 23g 7s 55c back to vendors, and disenchants into an Abyss Crystal. Can you imagine getting stabbed with one of those horns or getting caught on those bony teeth? I'm telling you: metal.

Methinks you should do some Algalon loot next time.
Naxx is just soooo 2008.

Apart from playing my priest I've been gearing my Protadin, and let me tell you Last Laugh looks undeniably sexy alongside the Barricade of Eternity on a Human Paladin. ;)
Good pick for this week, Mike. Slap Mongoose, Blade Ward or Blood Draining on that bish, and you've got a tanking weapon to end all tanking weapons (at least in the awesome department).

Excellent choice for Phat loot ! That is the most badass 1 handed axe I have seen.
We are going to kill KT sunday and I'm really hoping this drops now for one of the tanks.

Great pick. Nothing rounds off the look of Warrior T7 like a Wall of Terror and Last Laugh.

Awesome... now all I need is a raiding guild that actually raids.

\m/ Crank the Amon Amarth, Windir or Bathory and you've got some great viking sound track to hack and slash with!

Hunter?Hunter!
You hurt my hunter pride.If the ML give to hunter this...... /applaud
Blue item or even green q reward can be better for us, hunters.
Okay every item is hunteritem. For 24 hit rating.....
Lupius Jul 17th 2009 4:30PM
The hunter can now officially roll on 50% of the items on KT's loot table!

Hit is actually a decent stat for Tankadin threat generation. I wouldn't gem for it but it's certainly not wasted itemisation.
Stevo Jul 17th 2009 3:29PM
Not wasted itemisation, and not to be contradictory to your comment, but tankadins are probably the worst tanks for hit. Most of their attacks aren't based off of it. Warriors, on the other hand...
Taladan Jul 17th 2009 6:17PM
@Stevo: Actually, they are. Hammer of Righteous needs hit (otherwise, it shows as "Deflected" -- and you see a little hammer flying away); Avenger's Shield needs hit; Ritheous Defense needs it (we have a glyph to make it hit capped, though); the judgements need it...
Banndit Jul 17th 2009 3:30PM
Even better for Orc tanks such as myself :)
Turall Jul 17th 2009 3:33PM
I'm biased towards my Legacy of Thunder + Blade Ward paired with my Barricade of Eternity.
Hal Jul 17th 2009 3:49PM
Now if only I could be there on the night my guild finishes Naxx25. *sniff*
MechChef Jul 17th 2009 4:19PM
Obviously rogue loot. :D
splodesondeath Jul 17th 2009 7:09PM
Quick! Someone link the Lumberjack Song!

You know, I am the luckiest tanking bastard in all the land.
First night I got my Warrior through Naxx25, the axe drops. And this is salt on the wound for one tanking friend of mine, because it took him a few weeks to get it.
And one night, my guild was low on tanks for 25-man Ulduar and though it would work out to take me in. So, I did, and what drops off of FL? Titanguard!
Anyway, Last Laugh is so awesome. I loved having it.

I nearly shat my pants when Last Laugh dropped and it was awarded to me. From the moment I learned of its existence, I had to have it--not only was it my Best-in-Slot (at the time, anyway), it was KT'S FACE ON AN AXE THAT I WOULD HIT PEOPLE WITH.
Even when I get an upgrade, this baby is staying in my bank forever.

I like these articles, but I wanna see some more DPS caster items in here. Seems like it's been a while.

Being a tauren, this weapon just looks even nicer (with blood draining enchant on it). took me awhile to get due to just being plain unlucky, but picked up wall of terror on the guild first KT kill. now up to thw wachers in 25 man uld and yoggy in 10 man, yet to find a upgrade
