'''Devastate''' is the 41 point talent in the Warrior Protection tree. It is a tanking skill meant to be used as an upgraded [[Sunder Armor]], as it combines all the effects of Sunder Armor with an amount of damage that increases as Sunder Armor debuffs are stacked on the target.

'''Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest''' is a {{quality|legendary}} staff.

It is rewarded by an epic questline that challenges those daring enough to complete it. The great staff duplicates destructive magics, and also bestows upon its wielder the ability to transform into a member of the [[Blue Dragonflight]]. Those who complete the staff wonā€™t be the only ones to receive a reward, though. As this task requires the dedication of an entire [[guild]], upon completion of the staff all guild members will receive a unique [[Companion|non-combat pet]] to call their own.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2685003 Patch 4.2 Preview: A Legendary Engagement]</ref>

Devastate is an instant attack that costs 15 [[Warrior#Rage|Rage]] before talents, giving it the same cost as Sunder Armor. It deals half of the damage of a normal white hit plus an extra amount of damage per application of Sunder Armor on the target. The [[threat]] bonus increases with each application of the Sunder Armor debuff stack and resets the timer on the target's Sunder Armor debuff. Devastate is affected by all talents and glyphs that affect Sunder Armor, including [[Improved Sunder Armor]] and [[Glyph of Sunder Armor]].

On the 5th of April 2011, Ask the Devs #4: Weapons and Armor it was stated that the aquisition rate of the Legendary would be 2 to 2.5 times faster in 25 man raids than in 10 man raids. <ref>http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2353015977</ref> However an interview with Cory Stockton on 28 April 2011, it was said that the both 10 and 25 man raiders should be completing the staff at the same pace, with 25 man teams having a potentially quicker time with the "professions" part of the quest.<ref>[http://wow.joystiq.com/2011/04/28/cory-stockton-interview-reveals-more-info-on-firelands-in-patch/ WoW Insider: Cory Stockton interview reveals more info on Firelands in patch 4.2]</ref>
āˆ’
== Tips and Tactics ==
  
āˆ’
*Note that while Devestate applies Sunder Armour, you do not get the threat from the Sunder that was applied. You get the threat from the damage dealt by the Devastate plus 5% of your attack power as threat. <ref>{{ref web |url=http://www.tankspot.com/forums/f200/39775-wow-3-0-threat-values.html |title=Warrior WoW 3.0 Threat Values |accessdate=2009-11-15}}</ref>
  
   
  +
It has since been confirmed by the drop rate of in game quest items that Blizzard has kept the aquisition rate of 2 to 2.5 times faster in 25 mans with approximately double the number of drops of quest specific items in 25 man, indicating that the information in the Cory Stockton interview was incorrect or changed.
āˆ’
*With [[Patch 2.3]] Devastate is affected by all talents that affect [[Sunder Armor]], will cause the Sunder Armor effect and threat bonus, and will therefore generate more threat per rage than (talented or otherwise) Sunder Armor does. If you are a Protection-tree warrior and have Devastate, use it in every situation that you would have used Sunder Armor before 2.3, as Devastate currently functions exactly as a Sunder Armor that causes damage (and thus extra threat).
  
   
āˆ’
*Devastate recieves bonuses from both [[Glyph of Sunder Armor]] and [[Glyph of Devastate]] effectively making the ability apply two stacks of Sunder Armor to two enemies.
  
   
  ⚫
== Quest line ==
āˆ’
*The higher the DPS rating on your weapon, the more damage that will be caused with this ability. This is a [[normalize]]d attack, so weapon [[attack speed]] does not matter when calculating bonus damage in terms of [[attack power]]. Normalization means, all other things being equal, this will cause less bonus damage when used with a [[dagger]], regardless of weapon speed, and will thus cause less threat. ''All in all, a slow weapon will still apply more damage to Devastate because of its innate weapon damage.''

: Example:

During the 2010 Blizzcon Quest & Lore panel one guy asked for another legendary caster item. After a small discussion the guy said a staff would make him happy to which the Development Team responded that it will be done.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGO3baIJBXA&feature=player_embedded#at=107</ref> Six months later, ''Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest'' was announced.
āˆ’
You have 1400 [[attack power]] and wield a [[dagger]] with 100-100 Damage over 1.30 seconds. Devastate will now do the following, when you activate it:
  
āˆ’
* It will cause 50% of your Weapon's damage not regarding any speed: 100-100 damage = 100 average damage X 0.5 = '''50 Damage'''
  
āˆ’
* It will cause Damage according to your attack power normalized by the weapontype-factor of the weapon you wield:
  
āˆ’
** 1400(your AP)/14 (results in raw [[DPS]]) X 1.7(the normalization factor for daggers) X 0.5(the 50% weapon Damage) = '''85 Damage'''
  
āˆ’
* On top of that it will add damage according to the numbers of [[Sunder Armor|sunder armor]] that you have already applied on the [[mob]]. For each application it will add 35 points of damage at level 70.
  
   
  ⚫
==Patch changes==
āˆ’
So all in all, when 5 sunder armors are applied on the mob, you would cause '''50 + 85 + 5 X 35 = 310 damage''' (when fighting a mob with 0 [[armor]]).
  
  +
*{{Patch 4.2.0|note=Added}}
āˆ’  
āˆ’
As you see, the damage you do with the dagger is absolutely un-coupled from your attack power rating. Whatever dagger you wear (no matter how fast or slow it may be), the contributed damage via attackpower would always be the same. So it can be said that using slower weapons doesn't matter that much, since it only affects the first number in the final formula and will otherwise reduce your aggro gained by [[spam]]ming [[Heroic Strike|heroic strike]].
  
āˆ’  
āˆ’
*Useful when solo leveling or rep farming with a Protection-tree Warrior, since it is an instant attack and has no extended cooldown.

Stave 2h tarecgosa e 01stagefinal
Dragonwrath

Players will need to embark on an epic questline to obtain and upgrade this powerful weapon.

Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest is a legendary staff.

It is rewarded by an epic questline that challenges those daring enough to complete it. The great staff duplicates destructive magics, and also bestows upon its wielder the ability to transform into a member of the Blue Dragonflight. Those who complete the staff wonā€™t be the only ones to receive a reward, though. As this task requires the dedication of an entire guild, upon completion of the staff all guild members will receive a unique non-combat pet to call their own.[1]

Dragonwrath is an offensive caster staff, with bonuses that are not particularly attractive to healers.

On the 5th of April 2011, Ask the Devs #4: Weapons and Armor it was stated that the aquisition rate of the Legendary would be 2 to 2.5 times faster in 25 man raids than in 10 man raids. [2] However an interview with Cory Stockton on 28 April 2011, it was said that the both 10 and 25 man raiders should be completing the staff at the same pace, with 25 man teams having a potentially quicker time with the "professions" part of the quest.[3]

It has since been confirmed by the drop rate of in game quest items that Blizzard has kept the aquisition rate of 2 to 2.5 times faster in 25 mans with approximately double the number of drops of quest specific items in 25 man, indicating that the information in the Cory Stockton interview was incorrect or changed.
