In a way I agree with you, but according to their recent stance on the Shaman changes and honestly probably other things that have been fixed or changed in the past I think the standard of 1.12 is no longer really the bar Blizzard seems to be using for what will get changed and what doesnā€™t.

Classic is probably too far done for any of this to matter anymore but if the plan truly is TBC I hope Blizzard takes that as an opportunity to build a much stronger team capable of giving the project the love it deserves.

Just got this weapon after a great raid with my team, Given that all other spellpower weapons scale 1:1 with spellpower and that wowhead stated that Neretzek scaled as well, I was super excited to try out a spellpower build. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered that my shiny new epic item was the only lifesteal proc on a weapon that didnā€™t scale with spellpower.

Blizzard, please fix this. Vendorstrike works for crying out loud, make the rewards from raid content in classic matter.

Blizzard please make this fix. The PTR notes show fixes to hunters and totems that didnt exist in Vanilla. This weapon was clearly intended to scale with the exact same wording as all the other weapons that do. Look at the DPS on it, for crying out loud its from AQ40 and given the DPS the proc is clearly meant to make that up.

@bluepost are you kidding do you not see everyone wants this fixed. I literally have been tirelessly gearing out my paladin in pure spellpower gear so by the time corrupted ashbringer is released i can finally have fun pvping on a paladin for once with reckoning and some 600+ lifesteals. I have ticketed and sent multiple bug reports about neretzek not working and that ashbringer is showing the same results in the database. How can you let the most iconic weapon in classic be broken. Why are we all paying monthly for something you dont care to fix!? Apparently you can patch an item in 1 minute like baron rivendares sword but not ashbringer!? Get real and do your job please.
