Although this probably won't affect too many of us in the near future, Blizzard is already tinkering with many of the stats supplied by the Lich King's weapon drops. A community manager on the Korean site posted about upcoming changes (http://www.worldofwarcraft.co.kr/community/forum/view.do?bseq=&currpage=2&perpage=&sortmask=&hfilter=&pseq=783705) to one Lich King-10 and four Lich King-25 weapons, and Boubouille's posted a translation with help from user Locriani (http://www.mmo-champion.com/news-2/lich-king-weapons-changes-blue-posts/). A lot of raiders had been surprised at the itemization decisions, and as a raiding healer, I've seen a lot of commentary concerning the uninspiring presence of Mp5 on the Royal Scepter of Terenas II (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50428). Blizzard's specifically addressing these concerns.
The following is the list of changes Blizzard's planning to make to Lich King-25 weapons:
Royal Scepter of Terenas II (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50428): MP5 replaced with haste rating.
Archus, Greatstaff of Antonidas (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50429): Critical strike rating replaced with haste rating.
Heaven's Fall, Kryss of a Thousand Lies (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50426): Armor penetration replaced with haste rating.
Fal'inrush, Defender of Quel'thalas (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=49981): Haste rating replaced with armor penetration.
And on Lich King-10: Stormfury, Black Blade of the Betrayer (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=51800): Armor penetration replaced with expertise.
We're not sure when these changes are going to go live, but we'll update you when they do.
EDIT: The changes have been confirmed by Ancilorn on the EU forums (http://blue.mmo-champion.com/12/12304216694-0802-lich-king-weapon-change.html) now as well.Filed under: News items (http://www.wow.com/category/news-items/), Raiding (http://www.wow.com/category/raiding/)
