News is swirling around the internets and especially the Hunter community concerning the latest tribute item added to the game, the “BRK-1000”. This gun drops from the Argent Crusade Tribute Chest in the 25 man Trial of the Crusader.
The “smells faintly of raspberries” bit cracks me up. I’m sure most of you are privy to the reference, but for those of you scratching your heads, BRK had a penchant for raspberry lattés. In fact, he’s the sole reason I broke down and tried one a few months ago. I don’t do froofy coffee drinks all that often, but I must say… raspberry lattés are pretty dang yummy.
That gun is pretty extraordinary. Although it looks to be more itemized for MM/SV, it’ll be pretty hot for BM Hunters once Blizz gets the pet stat inheritance worked out. I’m getting excited about this talk of pets getting some of the Hunter’s haste. 😀
I’m not sure if I’ll ever be fortunate enough to acquire this gun, but it really is a thing of beauty. 240.7 DPS + a socket..?! Good grief. This boomstick will certainly blow some holes in things.
Grats on the tribute Daniel. You deserve it.
Even though Daniel was Alliance, grrr, I concur that this is a most fitting tribute! BRK was a must visit for me as I progressed from being “yet another huntard” to a mostly fully Ulduar geared hunter.(MacGruff/Hakkar)
We all struggled through the Great Hunter Nerf of 2008 (3.0.8 I believe it was?) and Daniel was immensely helpful in guiding us disgruntled BM hunters as we tried different specs, switched gems, watched his movies on strats/mechanics and add-ons.
Only wish there was a Horde/Troll version! =P
To one of the best BM hunters about… who can communicate in full fast paced sentences as well as enjoy a joke or 2.
A fitting tribute if ever I saw one. If I can drag myself out of the house, I might even toast this fine weapon with a raspberry whatcha-ma-callit.
