Permanently enchant a melee weapon to grant +15 strength.
Friendly with Thorium Brotherhood
Do this exist in Classic? Can’t find anyone on the server with it.

It sounds like even if it existed, it would be inferior to Crusader, but I’m no math guy.

Druids cannot use Crusader.
Druids would use +15 agility for 1h or +25 agility if it’s a 2h for feral. +15 strength doesn’t exist in Classic.
It’s not hard to get to Friendly w/ TB, so there there should be some enchanters around with it.
Wowhead says it does…

It exists, I have it on my weapon. If you’re a bear 15 agi and 15 str are pretty comparable. Think agi edges out str if fully world buffed. 15 agi is superior for cat at all times I believe.
Get agi if you can’t find str, it’s probably better for most circumstances. Only reason I got strength is because the first enchanter I found could do the str for me lol
It’s like glove enchants…haste, agi, and threat are all good. It really depends on your budget and what you’re doing most of the time.
TLDR: just get agi
On a druid, +25 agility is strictly better in every scenario over 15 strength.

I assume he has a BQWH, so it’s 15 str or 15 agi.
If you’re on a boss you’re likely using an MCP, so we’re talking about trash parses lol
If you’re using a 2 hander it should probably be a mace with an iron counterweight
Yes thank you. I’m not worried about parses. Just wanted something different. I do have Blessed Qiraji War Hammer. So obviously 25 agi is not an option. I’ll just stick with 15 agi I guess. I thought strength would give more AP for a cat unbuffed. Maybe I was mistaken.
Thank you for the responses.

Oh… Well it would seem it does. I guess I’ve just never seen it. Druids would always want to get +15 agility instead. +15 strength is inferior to other enchants for every class afaik.
Had to look it up on the druid discord. That place is full of the sweatiest theorycrafters there are so I tend to just go with what they say. From their pin:
Conclusions from the new combined EHP/TPS model using balanced weights:
- If you use 2/2 Primal Fury and have full world buffs + consumes, then 15 Agi is higher value.
- If you use 1/2 Primal Fury OR are not fully buffed and consumed, then 15 Str is higher value.
Both enchants are very close in value in either case, so if you care enough to min-max at this level of detail then please sim your own weights! Also note that 15 Agi is more DPS than 15 Str in cat form, which may be a factor in your decision depending on how often you tank vs. DPS on trash.
^so according to that it doesn’t seem like a huge difference either way if you’re a monobear. If you plan on going cat more often than not then agi seems best. So overall I’d say that agi is probably the play, but str is not bad either

Druids are heavily reliant on crits (hense the term crit kitty). Go with 25 Agi. 15 AGI is reasonable if you have one of the few feral attack power weapons in classic. Sadly, offhands are crap for us. I personally use Nat Pagles Fishing Rod right now w/25 Agi.
Counterweight won’t work as it was mentioned earlier. Counterweight adjusts the speed of the weapon. Druids don’t swing a weapon. Our attack speed is static and only adjustable with haste buffs.

Counterweight affects feral attack speed. Strange but true. Not sure about cats, but for a bear counterweight is best TPS if you’re using a 2 hander. If you’re really sweaty you can even counterweight your MCPs.
If you’re a bear without BQWH then Draconic Maul or Unstoppable Force with a counterweight are not bad options when not using MCP.
Edit to add: you can also get the 1 handed Mace of Unending Life w/ 15 agi from Silithus. Too bad we’re stuck with Tome of Knowledge as an offhand.
I’ve been a druid since OG vanilla. I have never once heard the term crit kitty. I have heard crit chicken but never crit kitty.
