In case this one slipped by you last week, you’ll want to head over to Polygon for a quick read of Oli Welsh’s article: “Why I Still Hold Onto My Phantom Blade in World Of Warcraft.”
Welsh waxes nostalgic about his favorite WoW weapon and Warcrafty! readers will definitely find something to relate to. I’ve got lots of ancient, useless, or nearly useless, Vanilla items stashed away in various bank vaults. These days, I’m hanging onto them because they just aren’t available anymore. Maiden’s Anguish – I’m looking at you!
Polygon Quote:
“The damage stats are OK, and it has a useful ‘proc’ (a chance to trigger an effect on hit): it decreases the target’s armor for 20 seconds, and prevents them from entering stealth or turning invisible during that time. This made it a coveted weapon in WoW’s player-versus-player community for dealing with annoying Rogue players (and was thus hated by Rogues). The thing is, I never played PvP.”
