Sawed Off

Saw this in a batch of beta screenshots somebody posted here. Figured Ringo would appreciate this...

Serious Firepower

Damn, I'm gonna have to roll a drwaven hunter now.

i hope thats crafted.

Heh. Remember when this game first came out, people were upset over the steampunk being introduced? Now the guns are getting crazier and crazier!

For some reason, that reminds me of the BFG from Doom & Quake.

Dammit, you beat me to it Vash. BFG 9000 was the bestest gun in Doom.

Looks like it's the "Consortium Blaster"


Which apparently requires "Revered" with the Consortium, whoever they are!

I think the Consortium is the Outlands equivalant of Steamwheedle Cartel.

crit strike rating?

Yeah, new system coming in with the patch. I'm not sure how it works for melee, but 18 spell crit rating on Piko worked out to right around +1% spell crits.

Heh, that's a graphic that was originally going to be on the Blastershot Launcher from Molten Core, which instead they decided (inexplicably) to leave looking like a double barrel shotgun.

And yes, The Burning Crusade is all about new guns and goggles for me.

From what I've read, once you hit friendly with the Constortium, they pay you a monthly salary, which makes them better than those Steamwheedle cheapskates.

Yeah, they even give you your first pay packet on the spot.

Closing in on Honored now with Consortium. They have an upgrade ammo pouch for me -- 18 slot, 15 percent, so equivalent to the MC epic quiver, and same speed as the AV ammo bag, just with two slots more.

I don't know if I'll get the Consortium blaster, since I have my eye on the even-better rifle from Honored Hold faction. We'll see if I get to Revered with Consortium before I get to Exalted with HH, of course.

I was reading about Consortium rewards, and they have some pretty impressive equipment. I'm looking foward to working on that faction one day, although I have a long ways to go before Outland.

I'm currently a bow user (and Thrallmar has a very impressive one), but if I come across a nice gun, I'll definitely put it to use. I just trained in guns in Thunder Bluff yesterday, in fact.

Nagrand has a faction for both Horde and Alliance that gives a quiver equivalent to the MC epic one. Not sure about bows, which are only fit for wussy little elves anyway.

Ah, bow envy, the affliction every dwarf suffers from.
