Throughout World of Warcraft's history, every orange weapon is sure to be remembered by players. But if you were asked which orange weapon was the weakest, players might not help but think: Safras, the hand of Ragnaros, the fire demon.
This is not groundless, although Safras is also the first orange weapon to appear in World of Warcraft, and it is also very popular, it is a weapon in the hands of Ragnaros, but its usefulness was also questioned back then.
Safras has an item level of 80, which is equivalent to a T2 weapon, with 80.4 damage per second, 3.7 attack speed, plus 12 Strength, 12 Stamina, and 30 Fire Resistance. The effect is that it has the potential to shoot fireballs on hit, dealing between 273 and 334 fire damage to the target, and an additional 75 damage for 10 seconds. On top of that, it deals 5 fire damage to enemies that attack you in melee combat, which adds quite a small aura of punishment.
I have to say that Safras is definitely the strongest two-handed weapon at the T2 level, especially for Augmenting Sa, which can be used to play PVP. It also seems to be a very good choice for warriors and punishment riders.
The problem however is that Safras is not the weapon that the expansion graduated from, which is very different from the Wind Sword and the Orange Staff, and the other two orange weapons are absolute graduates. The level 70 Egg Knife and Orange Bow, the level 80 Orange Axe and Orange Hammer, and the Level 85 Orange Staff and Orange Dagger are all all absolute graduation artifacts, with the exception of Safras.
Just because he arrived at the Angela Temple, the two-handed axe Crazy Dark Blade dropped by Cthun could be on par with Safras, after all, the second damage of the eyeball axe was as high as 86.6, which was still not a small gap. If the gap between seconds is too large, then the special effects cannot be compensated. Not to mention the power of Minasil dropped by Kel'thugad in the back, the second damage has reached 95.3, and the gap is really too obvious.
So, at the end of the version, Safras was sure to be replaced, and he had to be hastily released from the bank, which was a bit embarrassing for an orange weapon.
However, despite being the weakest orange weapon, it is the first orange weapon after all, so its popularity is definitely still very high!
