One of the coolest trinkets I've seen

Comment by Mayo

Uses the same in-game animation as the summoning of a warlock's Infernal. The damage this trinket puts out can be enhanced by +spell damage/+fire damage gear.

Also, there's an excellent demonstration of the this trinket's power in the video located at http://warcraftmovies.com/stream.php?id=25500 .

This has about a .2% chance to drop off of AQ 40-man trash mobs. I hope to get level 70 and 5-man grind these guys for the trinket ^^ Just for the coolness factor.

Unless this was nerfed, it is 100% affected by spell damage. Best I can figure from what I've seen in videos, it runs roughly 70% coefficient. Note, however, the damage is dispersed amungst all targets. So, if it will deal 1000 damage to a single target, it will deal 500 each to 2 targets.

Enjoy!

I keep getting conflicted information about this trinket. No doubt this is the craziest and coolest looking trinket I've seen.

However I keep hearing that it is and that it is not affected by +spell dam. and +fire dam.

I really want to know before i go balls to the wall to get this thing. If it does affect it, wats the coefficients for it?

i cant really take the vid to heart and figure it out the damage, cause it's like a highlight reel - it might not be consistent. I did see it hit 565(i think), however, which suggests that it possibly could = . I don't kno what Dernos's +spell damage tho, so i cant measure up anything.

also that vid is b4 TBC so i could have been changed within that time.

If i don't get a response, ill come back once i got it and tested it out for a bit.

ha ha.... i still see 70's running with the six demon bag.. its not bad and with the damage you can "add" to it with +spell dmg.. makes it a trinket that grows with ya.. i can only expect that this trinket.. as outdated as it may be .. Use to be the Best you could get.. I wouldnt mind grabbing one myself.

Truth: This trinket has been the secret weapon of many of my guild's major boss kills.

Comment by Cocomatona

Although there are trinkets which have much better function at 70 this would still be fun as a demoralizing finisher in pvp just like the Vanquished Tentacle of C'Thun. The intimidation factor of dropping a meteor on an opponent would be awesome.

Comment by reeth

I'll be sure to get this as soon as I reach 80! I've had it on my old char, and it's just awesome to finish people off using this in PvP :D

Comment by Fixx11

My pala friend had this, and for the 4 weeks where retribution kicked ass, (with crusader strike being implamented through patch right before TBC) he kicked ass every day outside Ironforge. It was nerfed rather quickly though, due to it's scaling with spellpower, and hiting for 1/4 of most pvp'ers health. To this day it's still a kickass item, though it won't do alot of dmg, still a complete showoff!

Comment by Blechy

Can anybody confirm if this still drops? People have been farming the instance but I haven't heard of anybody getting it.

Comment by Ithryn

This still drops. I won the roll for it earlier tonight, patch 3.1.1. <Spooky Action> cleared AQ40 this evening on Zangarmarsh for our weekly 'old school' raid night.

It has an extremely low drop rate, so it wouldn't be surprising if no one else has managed to see it drop in the short couple of weeks since the last patch, especially given AQ40 is not being cleared by many on a regular basis.

Comment by articuno301

i got it to day!

Comment by Fox24

Congratulations!

Comment by Wirxaw

Pretty useless trinket without spell power scaling. If Blizz hadn't fix it, it could scale like: orig. WoW - ~500 spell power = 600-700 damage(nice for that time), TBC - ~1000 spell power = 1000-1200(also quite fine) and now in WotLK it could be like +2000 SP = ~2400 damage. Not that much but still could have done some harm. It would never be OP with even 100% scaling. Now it's just a waste of time to grind it for the sake of awesomeness.

Comment by Lasergut

A fun trinket, although not really that useful for killing anything bigger than a critter. It does seem to get quite a reaction out of people though. Nothing like having a huge meteor crash into a few critters out of nowhere.

Comment by Corbon

Can't describe how much fun I had with this trinket in Lv 60 battlegrounds. Coolest finisher ever.

Comment by rodmin

A great trinket for some nice "cataclysmatic" RP.

Comment by Omgomgesiuol

This isn't unique? So you could possibly use 2 of them, right?

It's official, Deathwing uses twin Shards of the Fallen Star pre-nerf.

Can anyone confirm this item still drops?

Comment by Adrassius

Dropped for me today, so yes, I can confirm it still drops.

Comment by Deathbang

Useless because it doesn't scale with spell power? It still summons a meteor! Sure it may not be useful for combat, but the on use effect gives you +9001 awesome rating.

Comment by Amadaeus

This dropped for me recently in 4.03a, so it still in the game.

Pity it doesn't scale with spellpower or anything else, its just a novelty, but an extremely cool one :)

Comment by Chaserbl

it's freakin' meteor -.-

Comment by Fauvist

Can't believe no one pointed this out yet: Image for it is totally a buttplug.

Comment by vicarea

It originally had a stun as well.

Comment by NightmareMJ

Deals about 60K damage (more from destro lock/fire mage/frost mage) single target before magic resistance @ 90

Comment by zestroz

Can confirm it stills drops as of Patch 5.4.7, Happy hunting!

Comment by nirv

For those curious, it still drops as of 2014-11-11, but it's extremely rare. I think this is the first time in years that I've seen it.
