This was the old reward for the Skyfury Helm quest.

Kommentar von Thottbot

...where?

Kommentar von Thottbot

of course cause the diamond quest ist prequest for this

Kommentar von Thottbot

Yea, you are wrong.

Its more like 10-12 lvl 60 elites that come at you at once if you are in the middle of the room.

It sucks.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This is basically the same quest as the end of the Paladin Epic Mount line. Blizzard made this quest really difficult for shamans. There are a total of 4 waves that come. At the start, it seems simple but it becomes harder ever wave. 1st and 2nd waves are simple non-elites or 2-3 elite waves. After every wave there is a "boss" ghost, Aspect something. 3rd and 4th waves are difficult you practically get zerged by 10 lvl 60 elites 3rd wave and 6 + add waves for the 4th wave. Since shamans do not have the super pally shield(the immune shield) this quest is very very difficult and requires a balanced group, skilled characters and patience. The group I went with was a 60 warrior, 60 mage, 60 priest, and a 60 warlock
The helm itself is awesome, I use it for pvp but for running mc/world bosses and any other high end content I stick with the Coif of Elements.

Anyways good luck on getting this helm!

Kommentar von Thottbot

And watch, as soon as I get the helm they come to terms with how ridiculously hard the quest is and either nerf the quest or make the loot epic or something....

Kommentar von Thottbot

lol jmrwacko you're wrong... there are naked female trolls in ogrimmar all the time dancing by fires they made asking for gold.

Scholo has aparently been nerfed (many mobs have been removed). Se we went in there today to do this quest. The party was 2 shaman, 1 druid, 1 warlock, and 1 warrior. I know... not the perfect party, but we got to ratlegore no problem. Drop the quest item there and stand in the bottom right. Most times you aggro the room and must figt whish isn't too bad most the time but there are certain stage that are bad:

there is a stage with 9 59-61 elites, but our group took them out with no AoE except warlock channeling that could be broken. Of course we whiped a few times but oh well.... My best suggestion is bring a priest to shckle at least one and have 2 mage AoE the rest of them no problem.

As the fight goes on there is not as much problem, the last boss is a joke, but I mean 2 shaman, 1 druid, 1 warlock, and 1 warrior fiinished the quest and we werent even on top of our game. So it can be done without much problem just make sure to bring ankhs etc. b/c it helps to get afew tries in at every stage

Kommentar von Thottbot

ok, I'm currently using Helm of Exile (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=3521/geschickt-verschlüsselter-brief, and had one of the two diamonds drop (specifically, Pristine Black) and wanted to know if the 300 gold and int bonus were good trade offs for the armor, stam, and passives. probably an idiotic question, but I need to know how many more weeks of SM farming I'll do before I get an epic mount.

Kommentar von Thottbot

in fact, you do. i tried it once. i got 9 copper :(

Kommentar von Thottbot

I recently acquired one of these. Here was my party:

1 warrior, 1 shaman, 1 rogue, 2 priests

During the 9 specter wave, the priests shackle 2, tank takes the hits, and rogue and shaman take down the mobs 1 by 1. 1 priest heals the tank and the other priest heals the rogue and shaman. If the rogue/shaman combo can work well, the second priest barely needs to heal them (low/no aggro)

The rest was pretty cake. Total time to finish all the waves was round 40 minutes or an hour (didn't keep an eye on the clock) We were able to do it with no wipes, and very little resting, since the priests could tag team with one out of battle resting, and the other healing.

Kommentar von Thottbot

these are the stats of the "once" crappy helm in the next patch:

Skyfury Helm (Epic)
324 Armor
13 str
14 stm
12 spi
spell crit 2%
crit 1%

godly for pvp ;)

Kommentar von Thottbot

No doubt better then the old helm but where is the INT?

Kommentar von Thottbot

they call that better because it is purple? i would much prefer the old helm. give me int!

Kommentar von Thottbot

if you wipe on the chain can you redo it or is your epic helm done for.
what i am really asking is the item that you lay down able to be used more then once?

Kommentar von Thottbot

you can use it once. if you fail you have to move back to the quest npc to get an new one.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Its also the pally mount quest and its pretty easy
basically u stand in a corner and pull small groups and just aoe them to death...not sure bout shammys but pallys can kill them using judgments which make aoe dmg.
Nice helm for shammys

Kommentar von Thottbot

Should've farmed the cash for a pristine before they changed the reward to that piece of %^&* Batman condom, elemental shamans > any other caster / melee shamans.

And by elemental I don't mean a build where you can afford improved Ghost Wolf.

Kommentar von Thottbot

It's called the skyfury helm now its the same thing just with a different name thottbots kind of outdated on that but oh well

Kommentar von Thottbot

Sure the sky would be furious aboutt the unsightfulness of this helm,

i mean LOOK AT IT!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This thing is garbage WTF was bliz thinking?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

lvl 58 quest for a decent lvl 57 item, something is amiss.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Can someone clarify, is it the helm of latent powers you get, or is it the skyfury?

Because the Skyfury looks like the Earthfury helmet while the heml of latent power looks like the Ten Storms helmet... Equal UGLY AS HELL that is.
You look like a bird with that helm -.-

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i cant believe i wasted my time on this piece of junk, could have sold that diamond on my server for a good 100g =(

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Maybe since it is the Helm of "Latent" Power it will get some major loving in apatch one day, or maybe have some amazing abaility that summons the Earth Mother to wtfpwn your enemies or something. So I'm dreaming, let me dream kthnx.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

right after i got the quest a pristine black diamond dropped in UDS, turned in the quest and now i just have to do the darkreaver menace to get the helm.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I have found that have your healers on a mage. have the mage AOE constantly. he will get allt he aggro, your healers MUST be constantly healing him, the rest of the party can take a guy at a time. By doing this we pretty much run through it.
After each big group the mage drinks his water and onward we go. I have done it this way a number of time and except the first time we ran it no one dies. Well at this point in the instance anyway.
After the mass mobs the stradegy changes.
Hope this helps U get through a rough start.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Did this last night (patch 1.6.1). I found it really quite easy, considering some of the comments that were on Thottbot and Allakhazam.

Everybody needs to stay in one corner. We used the corner on the right as you enter the room. Our party makeup was protection warrior, mage (with instant AE of course), holy priest and two shamans with resto up to NS. Warrior had full +def tanking gear (the best ottainable outside MC), the other shaman had 7 elements + earthfury boots, the priest had full devout, I wore my +250 healing mail, and the mage had mostly magisters with a handful of other blues and greens.

The first wave will be non-elites, 12 of them or so. They all aggroed us at once, so this is what you bring your mage for. AoE, with heals on the mage.

We got little to no time to get out of combat after the first wave, so mash that level 55 water button, because as long as you start drinking in that few seconds, you can keep drinking until the next wave of ghosts are upon you.

The 2nd wave were all melee ghosts from memory, and they're elites. We kept stoneskin, earthbind, mana, health, GoA and windfury up at all times. Don't waste mana on magma and fire nova totems, it's of the utmost importance that the shaman(s) keep all their mana for when the priest goes OOM, which will happen very often. This wave wasn't particularly hard, as the ghosts for some reason didn't link all at once, meaning we could take them down almost one by one with good use of shackle.

The next wave, from memory, is the hard wave. Somewhere around 9-12 elite ghosts spawn in groups of three, and they all aggro you at once. Even if you range pull them from your corner, the other groups will run (float?) over to where the group you pulled were, then head straight for you. This wave is extremely hard, bordering on impossible. I hope you brought your ankhs. Our prot warrior is very skilled, and he held aggro on all of them. If you have a rogue a secondary warrior (or you, the shaman, if you have neither) use the 'target lowest health' hotkey, which is V or B by default I think, and have everyone assist that person to kill a target. DO NOT have the mage AoE. Kill as many targets as possible, and when you're about to wipe, which is very probable, run into the corner (I mean very corner, mash yourself up against that wall) and wait to die. Self-rez, and rez everyone. The quest will not fail if you wipe. Med up (you won't get aggro if you're in the corner) and pull the last few mobs, who will again link on you. We got 5 mobs down before we died the first time, so the last 4 or so were cake.

The final wave involves some caster ghosts who cast shadow bolt. Make sure the priest gives everyone shadow resist, and put down grounding totem.

After each wave, a named mob will come. The name is always "Aspect of ...". The final wave's named, "Aspect of Shadow" from memory, is the only one worth mentioning. He casts shadow bolt volley, and has a shield of some variety which is purgeable. He was really the only one we needed to concentrate for. What we did (cheap tactics 4tw) is to keep the nameds constantly shackled, and have our own spirit and mana/health totems regen us to full health. It takes a long time, but it can make the ensuing waves so much easier, considering you don't always get time to drink.

After these waves, the Darkreaver will spawn in the middle of the room. Med up and buff up, you have plenty of time. The boss looks somewhat like Baron Rivendare, and is quite fun to fight. He has a Balnazzar-esque mind control, and he always used it on one of our shamans, burning our nature's swiftnesses and healing himself. Mind control CAN be purged (use rank 1 purge so as to not knock of another buff) and can of course be dispelled by the priest. That's really the only interesting thing he did. He has a lot of HP and hits relatively hard, but nothing a skilled warrior and priest shouldn't be able to handle, with the shaman throwing the odd heal in. Put a searing totem down, there's no more mobs after this one so you don't have to worry about aggro. After he dies, the head is lootable and can be looted by more than one shaman. Link to the mob with loot table. He dropped Oblivion's Touch for us, which is the most awesome looking wand I've ever seen. But it's borked to attack as a melee weapon, so if you get it, you'll have to wait until 1.8 or 1.9 to have it fixed.

Turn in the head to the shaman trainer in Orgrimmar to receive the Helm of Latent Power, or post patch 1.7, the Skyfury Helm, which has a graphic similar to the earthfury helm, and stats:

13 strength
14 stamina
12 spirit
2% crit with spells
1% crit with melee

Kommentar von Allakhazam

it is NOT worth the reagents ...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Helm isn't bad, but really needs to be boosted and marked epic. Unless you're very lucky to get a pristine diamond for free via a drop, and have a very competent group to take darkreaver down in the middle of one of the toughest rooms in Scholo...

This helm is a crappy prize for all that trouble in honesty.

If the quest was easier or made the items a bit less wanted (ie same item for pally epic mount quest), then it wouldn't be so bad now would it. I wouldn't spend 300g+ for it tho.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The helm, in my opinion, is very good. However, the quest is impossible to complete as it is. I've tried two times, both with very good groups of people, and failed both times. Alliance have a way to deal with the third wave, but the Horde do not. I'm waiting for a Blizzard tweak to the quest, but I doubt it'll ever happen.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i've done the diamond quest in AH - 1g for the pristine and 4g for the azerothian, it payed off to get a epic helm for 5g(diamonds)+2g(repair bills from Scholo)= 7g! now thats a bargain!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

ok i recieved that diamond during scarlet run with my guildies. The next place we went was ofc scholo. ffs tell me how to bring that huge amount of mobs down. /cry /sigh

Kommentar von Allakhazam

For the hard waves se below.

Kite 3-4 with Blizzard Rank 1 to get aggro from a few, kite them to a corner, get off another blizzard, iceblock yourself and they will go back, break iceblock, do it again... earthbind near the rest of the group in the corner helps.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This entry is incorrect I think.

The reward for the darkreaver menace is Helm des Himmelszorns]
Skyfury Helm.
SO.........

Where does this helm come from?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

From patch 1.7 notes: "The Darkreaver Menace" quest has had its reward improved; any Shaman who has already completed the quest should speak to Sagorne Creststrider in Orgrimmar to get their new reward.

It looks like Blizzard has someway improved the helm.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Supposedly the reward for the new shaman quest.

It's good, but given the difficulty of the quest (and the cost of the pristine black diamond)...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

OMG! Pristine Diamond costs 500g on my server... in exchange for a piece of junk! What a waste of time and gold on this quest. The reward should be an epic instead. STUPID BLIZZARD!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Yay, more shamen only gear with +spellcrit. I wish i could just DE all my pally healing gear and give the shards (now nexus crystal) to shamen, cuz they obviously need more stuff.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I discovered the deal here.
This is the original reward for the darkreaver menace quest and is no longer available :( which is sad. They should make it a drop somewhere at least.
