This sword (or its model) was used as the "Sword of 1,000 Truths" in the 10th Season premiere episode of Comedy Central's "South Park" cartoon. Aired: 04 Oct 2006

This sword is wonderful for tanking, and a great step towards tanking. However Blizzard recently announced that in patch 2.0 for World of Warcraft the +weapon skill will be nerfed, so that it no longer effects glancing blows. Instead the +skill will increase your chance to crit, and hit. This leaves +weapon skills in the ways of dps to be viewed as less superior to other weapons, due to the fact that previously before +weapon skills were used in order to help reduce the damage mitigation that you would recieve on glancing blows.

A lot of speculation, rumors, and overall confussion rattled around while naxx was in its beta phases all the way up to when the first one drop live.

Many believed this sword was gressil, dawn of ruin after live hit and during beta it was often reffered to as one or the other depending on time of day and who you talked to. It was unheard of that two sword drops could drop from the same boss.

They are two very differen't weapons from the same boss. Kel'thuzard is the only boss that drops two one handed swords currently in the game.

Kommentar von 6626

This is the other one handed sword that drops off Kel'tuzad. Tanking warriors will probably see this as a better weapon than Gressil, Dawn of ruin because of the 140 armor and the +6 to sword but with the nerf to weapon levels on TBC Gressil will, definately, be alot better for rogues and DPS warriors

Kommentar von InfinityX

The Hungering Cold is one of four pre-Burning Crusade One-Handers that breaks 70 dps. The Hungering Cold, Kingsfall, Gressil, and Claw of the Frost Wyrm are the only One-Handers that can boast this, and when it comes to the random factor of loot drops, you take what's available to you.

So this is arguably (Thunderfury) the most amazing tanking weapon currently in the game, while also serving as one of the highest dps "fast" weapons in the game.

Kommentar von 7069

With the recent nerf to +weapon skill, this weapon is no longer as beneficial to Rogues as it once was. Previously, Maladath was the only other Sword with +weapon skill to Swords, and this was the only upgrade to that.

This could only really be considered an off-hand item to a Rogue, and items like the Claw of the Frost Wyrm are much more beneficial to Rogues. This Sword is pretty much solely aimed at tanking Warriors now.

Kommentar von 75355

This was a GM weapon before BC.

Kommentar von xeonx

This sword is featured in the South Park episode 'Make Love Not Warcraft'. This is Season 10 Episode 8. The stats mentioned in the episode are not correct and it is also a two-handed sword in South Park.
Make Love Not Warcraft was also referenced ingame through and achievement where you must /hug an enemy player before he releases his/her spirit.

Kommentar von 83067

If i seen correctly the same texture is used on Arthas sword Frostmourne.
And with the rumors of Naxxramas moving this might be a cool sword for a Deathknight.

Kommentar von 60273

Does it not looks like frostmourne to anyone but me?

Kommentar von 62449

Changed in patch 2.3.

+14 Expertise Rating.

Kommentar von Batleth

For those of you that are going to be collecting the WoW figures coming out ( the first wave is alredy out), the Human Warrior in Wave 2 is wielding The Hungering Cold. The Shield he's carrying kind of looks like The Face of Death, but its not quite it. Nice touch IMO...
:-)

Kommentar von 146222

http://www.wowwiki.com/Frostmourne it looks a little like this sword :) frostmourne

Kommentar von Horry

The blade of this sword is surrounded by a shifting aura of frost which leaves a blue trail behind it as you move about (sadly the pics provided don't do it any justice). Aesthetically it matches both the Dreadnaught Armour (most notably the Shoulders & Helm) as well as The Face of Death perfectly.

In my opinion probably the best looking sword currently in game, which is a shame since it also seems to be just about the rarest given it's place in current progression (possibly with the exception of Apolyon depending on your server's progression and luck). Here's hoping it makes a return when Naxxramas is retuned to 80 in the expansion and more people get to see (what is hopefully still) Blizzard's best work.

EDIT: It seems that since patch 3.02 the cool aura does not show anymore (does not show on Widow's Remorse now either). I am not sure whether this is a result of enchants being made visible on it (crusader in this case) or if it's just been removed all together :(

Kommentar von 225829

This is without doubt the closest thing anyone will ever get to Frostmourne, until WoTLK. And even still, it ill have the lowest drop rate in the game. Anyway, it has the skull with the horns and spikes and the runs. Cooler the Gressil-Dawn of Ruin unless you like a sword with a moving mouth...

Kommentar von 225829

Also goes perfectly well with Dreadnaught Armour and The Face of Death. Kudos to Blizzard to making it look like a coincidence.

Kommentar von 210971

Also a little bit of trivia- this is the weapon wielded by Darion Mograine. And he looks really cool with them too.

Kommentar von wildowned1995

I think Darion Mograine dual wield's Slayer of the Lifeless, Hes tank isnt he ? I dont know, but he looks imba with dualwielding Slayer of the Lifeless ! and this is an exelent tank weapon for all tanking classes, as Death Knight, you should dual wield ;) thats imba and really cool

Kommentar von 427607

https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=39276 is it me or do they have same sign on the skull? and btw: they look as a set if together or with https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=39344! i have them, unfortunately my acc was banned for 14 days, so i cant sumbit a screen yet

Kommentar von 370554

Ah, so many wonderful memories of this sword back in the day... Our MT used to have one of these, a Quel'Serrar, and Sickle of Unyielding Strength with him at all times. When we fought a boss that had alot of aggro resets where he needed to mass produce aggro he'd use this. This is definitely missing the mitigation stats tanks love, but when it comes to raw threat production this was unrivaled for 1v1 tanking just for that base damage and high speed gave him fast heroic strikes, and HARD heroic strikes. He was quoted to have said the threat production difference between this weapon and Quel'Serrar was about 20% just because of how many more Heroic Strikes he could do per minute with the faster weapon, and for the fact that they (And his other abilities) hit much higher because of that beautiful base damage.

Kommentar von 988997

it was taken out of the game because it was to powerful for users to possess. but one day someone who has proven he has no life may rise to claim it. as told from sulzman hes in accounting

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ilvl of this item = 89

Ilvl of TF = 80

This item drops from Kel'Thuzad himself, the last boss in Naxxramas.

He drops another sword too: Gressil, Dawn of Ruin.

Gressil has the stats that this sword USED to have, that is to say

Gressil, Dawn of Ruin

Unique, One Hand Sword

138-257 Damage Speed 2.70

(73.1 Damage Per Second)

+15 Stamina

Requires Level 60

Equip: +40 Attack Power

Gressil is a longword with black etching on the blade, a large triangular point, and a purple glow, similar to the Skullforge Reaver

Kommentar von Thottbot

i got a bunch of screen shots ill show them on my text post

Kommentar von Thottbot

My guild is a couple of bosses from this sword becoming an issue, but its already been layed out that tanks will have priority on this weapon, you can't ignore 1.5 speed, armor, stam, and +weapon skill for tanking.

However I have no problem with rogues picking it up once tanks have em, it makes a sick offhand.

Kommentar von Thottbot

+ Weapon skill is amazing for tanking. When you're tanking bosses that are much higher then you, you have to worry about whether or not your attacks are actually hitting the boss. By having the + weapon skill, you hit those mobs and bosses harder, and have a better chance of landing a blow. It also reduces the amount taken away from a glancing blow.

+ Weapon skill is just as good as + defense at that level because a tank with tier 3 has defense up the wazoo.

Kommentar von Thottbot

We dont need to flame you you are just uber dumb .
Stats show ewrything . Tanking Weapon.

1-MT/Prots
2-Rogues/Furry
eot.

Kommentar von Thottbot

due to the fact that increasing your skill in something makes you more acurate and acuracy is important for tanks this would be a good sword for those warriors who in instnces tank but can still pack an agrssive punch much better then https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=53742/art-template-cloth-chest-robe-common-b-03-blue as it is a little bit slower alowing the tank to load up on rage for concousion blows and sunder armors altogether nice sword looks sweet

WE CAN'T TRUST THE SWORD TO A NOOB!

6) DOES NOT BIND
7) THEY KILLED KENNY!(bastards)(rez him imo)
8) HUNTER WEAPON!
9) nuff said

Kommentar von Thottbot

Thats the whole point of stuff like this. If a "Legendary" or "Epic" item was so easy to get that you could 10 man it... well then it wouldn't be that great of an acomplishment to get then would it... The epic weapons and out of Naxx are the Thunderfury and Sulfuras of 2 years ago, almost no one will even see them and even fewer will get them.

But then again look at how many people have thunderfury and Sulf now... just wait till you are 70 and you can 25 man Khel.

Don't complain about how hard it is to get all these cool things just because you cant afford to spend all your time playing. They are the rewards for those who have no lives or have decided that WoW is their life.

If you just want to sit an whine about how you dont have any cool gear maybe you should go back to first person shooters that give you all the cool gear in the first level. WoW isn't that type of game.

Kommentar von Thottbot

How do you kill that which has no life?

Kommentar von Thottbot

if you had TF and we're a DPS (fury DW) warrior TF now goes in your OFFhand.. there are much better higher-end damage weps out there, like EoC or this blade.. the TF proc still makes it godly though

ask any decent fury warrior..

Kommentar von Thottbot

If it's about DPS wouldn't this and Gressil paired up make good sense? +15 strength on each for the dw fury warrior(me for example),hell it might not be the ideal to some but I'd sure as hell take that combo.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I love doing DPS with my rogue. I also love when our MT is equipped with the right gear and instances go quicker.

Look at the stats and the speed on the weapon. If this was anything but a new uber l337 sword, rogues would pass it up and they know it.

Raiding guilds who are downing Kel'Thuzad already know this, but for all of you with a bunch of level 31 characters who like to come here and share your wisdom, let the MT warrior have it first, then when you have Naxx on farm status let the rogues get it.

So in conclusion, priority goes to tanks, look at the stats, and if your a rogue who is dieing to see their character with it, just inspect someone who has it and ctrl click the weapon.

Kommentar von Thottbot

What an entertaining thread...

For all of u guys that have posted the last month stating that this is THE MOST IMBAH SWORD in the game, and you are going to rally up people to get this... No, it is far from the best sword u can get in the game. Its actually really bad compared to the new stuff in the expansion. And it would be needles to say that if u didnt know this allready, u are probably not in a possision to get your hands on this (or any of the current endgame gear that is actually worth getting).

There are entry-level swords in the game atm that are easily attainable by a few days of grinding, that beat this sword by allot.

Have a look around Thottbot, and you will come to see that no pre TBC instances are worth doing for gear anymore. Not even Naxx. I switched out my weps from naxx at lvl66, and all the rest of my naxx gear were gone by lvl70.

Kommentar von Thottbot

they changed this to give expertise in patch 2.something for what reason? no one's going into naxx after BC and using the gear

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got this sword by now and I can say tanking with it is awesome.
The +skill, speed and dps gives you tons of rage, great for offtanking and maintanking.
Because of the speed on it you can basicly dump how much rage you want with heroics in a matter of seconds, you can never have too much rage..
..and it looks awesome together with the face of death ;)

Does ANYONE knowthe model ID of this thing?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This is good for not just one thing, however I see it best as MT weapon, as that will increase the whole raids total DPS even more then just one rogue.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

ZOMG its the !

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The +weapon skill essentially gives you +chance to crit now, right? No more glancing blow reduction. So what value does +weapon skill have over +crit, or are they the same thing? Why isn't there a useful ability in it's place, like a proc-on-hit? Or is +weapon skill actually a useful thing still?

Also, TF's proc goes off all the time, allowing the tank to hold multiple mobs, damage them all, slow them down, etc etc... TF's threat generation is so superior to anything else out there right now it's not even funny - it beats the pants off of this sword.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Looks ALOT like Frostmourne.

If it was ment for tanking only, they would have made it "Mainhand" only. But since it's one-handed it makes it the best sword offhand in game for rogues. Human rogues can drop Weapon Expertise and put into other dps talents

I don't see why the rogues are even going to be whining about getting this sword when they are going to be replaced in BC anyway. Once shammies can Duel wirld wtf is gonna be the point of having the in raids when shammies duel wielding with windfury with %^&*in pwn rogues on dps plus supply extra healing for the raid which rogues can't do.

Kharazans worlds firsts, anyone?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

As of right now there is only one of these out there. Even after BC comes out, there might be 5 to 10 across the world of servers (EU, KN, CN, US). Do you really think a guild is going to give this to anyone but a warrior. Lets say your guild is the second to down Kel and just like Nihilum, you are lucky enough to get this, are you going to give it to offer it to your MT(s) who it will help you get past the 4H again, Sap and Kel or give it to your GM who is a rogue and really likes it so they can own in PVP.

If my guild had one or two of these and gave the third to a rogue (even if the rogue was the GM and started the guild two days after the first ever release of WoW), I would vote to disband the guild right there. Until this sword is as common as Quel or the Krol blade, guilds will give this sword to tanks to help them in Naxx and whatever BC throws at them. THC with a crusader will gain aggro fast and keep it, the sole purpose of a tank.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

For tanks, not a hunter...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Thunderfury is topically still a better mainhand. It keeps aggro of one monster better, but also keeps the aggro of multiple monsters as well. The debuff is phenomenal, but that isn't as arguable as the DPS and hate generated.

This sword is an off-hand to every single class.

Fury Warrior would love this sword, but Rogues will use it better. Poison procs and, in the future, the ability to hit with the off-hand in Burning Crusade. Of course, that's not including Rogues being able to gain a decent bit of survivability in PvP...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Yes, I know that this does resemble Frostmourne, but the one problem with it being Frostmourne is this:

ARTHAS STILL POSSESSES FROSTMOURNE.

At the end of Warcraft 3, as Arthas takes up the Frozen Throne and becomes one with the Lich King, he still possesses Frostmourne. Also, Frostmourne has a very distinct Skull on the hilt.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It's a shame that a sword that drops off of the final boss isn't superior in every way over a sword that drops off of one of the first five bosses (Widow's Remorse). If they just gave this sword 4 or so extra stamina, I wouldn't be complaining. :)
