Changes: Darkmoon Card: Maelstrom

Revision as of 19:09, 24 August 2010

The Darkmoon Card: Maelstrom, one of four level-60 Darkmoon Cards, is a trinket received by turning in the [Elementals Deck] at the Darkmoon Faire.

A highly useful item for melee fighters, it is mostly aimed for Fury Warriors, Dagger Rogues, or Catform Feral Druids, who rely on a high attack rate. This trinket has about 1.5% proc chance, and it procs from every melee strike, including feral attacks (making this very useful for feral Druids) and free strikes. It is known to crit and may be affected by +spell damage (hits over 300 have occurred on non-vulnerable targets), and can be resisted normally as nature damage, it can also hit for 1000-1400 when the target is vulnerable to nature, in BWL for example. Depending on weapon speed, it can add between 1 to 3 DPS (and sometimes higher), on average.

It is useful as a damage trinket in high-end raids, in PvP and solo PvE.

-To obtain the '''Maelstrom''' card you make complete the '''Elementals''' Deck. The '''Ace of Elementals''' drops the various Elemental lords that can be found in Azeroth - [[Lord Incendius]], [[Hydrospawn]], [[Princess Tempestria]], [[The Windreaver]], [[Baron Charr]] and [[Avalanchion]].

-Darkmoon Cards are obtained by completing a set of eight cards (The relevent Ace plus 7 general cards, numbered 2 of X deck and up to 8 of X deck - like, for example, Four of Beasts). After obtaining the eight cards the player can create a Deck item by clicking and activating the Ace card. All the individual cards and the deck itself are [[BoE]] items and can be bought in the [[Auction House]], making an exciting collecting, trading and selling mini-game.
-Each Ace drops from a specific elite boss somewhere in the game, which usually have an estimated (unverified) 10% drop chance (since 1.10 patch). The general cards are worldrops from '''ANY''' general humanoid level 51 and above, including elites. There are no specific place or mob they can drop from. The drop rate is slightly better for elite dungeon bosses.
-Once you have the deck item, you can turn it in the [[Darkmoon Faire]] for your final [[Epic]] trinket.
