When it comes to orange weapons in World of Warcraft, you may first think of the egg knife, the wind sword, and the orange axe, but there is also an orange weapon that is relatively unpopular, and may not be liked by too many players, but its special effects are extremely powerful.
This orange weapon is Ulduar's Orange Hammer: Valanel, the hammer of the ancient king.
Valanel is also the only orange weapon ever used to heal classes, and it can be done by collecting 30 shards dropped by the Ulduar boss and throwing them into Yugsaron's mouth.
I have to say that the difficulty of obtaining the orange hammer is not very high, and it can be completed in a few CDs, after all, the boss of Ulduar on any difficulty has a chance to drop, which is very different from the orange staff of Naxxramas back then.
A large reason why Orange Hammer is unpopular is because it is designed for the healing profession, but I have to say that the special effects of Orange Hammer are really powerful. The Orange Hammer has an item level of 245, plus 55 stamina, 57 intelligence, plus 621 mana, 50 crit, and 49 haste, and the effect is that the healing spell has a chance to trigger the blessing of the ancient king, allowing the target to gain a shield that absorbs 15% of the damage received for 15 seconds.
How strong is this special effect? Veteran players who have opened up 25 heroes in the past must have a deep understanding of it. If all 5 healing classes in the group have Orange Hammers, then the difficulty of HLK can be reduced by at least 10%. Because of the shield of the Orange Hammer, the number of times you have to reverse the T is greatly reduced.
Because of this, having and not having an orange hammer will make the team look like two things. Not only HLK, but any boss seems to be like this, once the T is down, there is a high probability that the group will be destroyed, but the Orange Hammer can reduce the number of times the T is down.
No matter how high the DPS is, you have to use MT to fight the boss, so the special effects of the orange hammer are obviously incomparable to other orange weapons.
In the nostalgic suit, the Kaijin group will basically give priority to recruiting therapeutic professions with Orange Hammer, and even give additional subsidies, which can be seen how Orange Hammer helps the team. The Orange Axe can certainly skyrocket your DPS, but it certainly won't help the team as well as the Orange Hammer.
It has to be said that the Orange Hammer is indeed the most underrated orange weapon!
