'''Penance''' is a [[priest]] [[ability]] available at level 10 to priests who choose the [[Priest talents#Discipline|Discipline]] tree. While channeled, it [[Direct damage|deals damage]] to an enemy or [[Healing|heals]] a friendly target.
 
  +
'''Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest''' is a {{quality|legendary}} staff which will be added with [[Patch 4.2.0]].<ref>[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2682944#blog Patch 4.2 Preview: The Firelands]</ref>
   
  +
Patch 4.2 introduces an epic quest that will challenge those daring enough to complete the legendary staff Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest. 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 won’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.
−
== Notes ==
  
−
* Contrary to what the tooltip seems to imply, it actually heals or damages three times, the first tick occurring instantly upon cast.
  
−
* Each heal from Penance receives 29.7% of the priest's spell power per tick of healing, and 45.8% of the priest spellpower per tick of damage. This is better than the alternatives both for damage dealing ([[Smite]], [[Mind Spike]]) and healing ([[Heal]], [[Greater Heal]]).
  
−
* Due to its [[mana]] efficiency and healing speed, it is generally the primary direct heal used by Discipline priests.
  
−
* Like [[Holy Shock]], this spell has two ranges depending on its use. When used to attack, it has a 30 yard range; when used to heal, it has a 40 yard range.
  
−
* [[Power Word: Shield]] prevents [[pushback]]s and ensures that the effect of Penance is fully used.
  
−
* Even if a pushback prevents the final tick from landing, this is still a more mana efficient heal than [[Greater Heal]], and will still heal more than [[Flash Heal]]. [[Pushback]] can only prevent one tick, as it can only cancel 50% of a channeled spell.
  
−
* Penance has exactly half the mana cost of [[Flash Heal]].
 
−
* The instant first tick of this spell can save party members who would otherwise die while waiting for [[Flash Heal]] to cast.
  
−
* While the Discipline talent [[Grace]] can be proced by a number of healing spells, it is proced by ''each tick'' of Penance, meaning that a single full Penance cast will bless the target with the maximum 3 stacks of Grace. As 3 separate casts would otherwise be required to produce this effect, this makes Penance easily the fastest and cheapest way to place the full Grace effect upon a target.
  
   
  +
Only those who have emerged triumphant against the evils lurking within [[Blackwing Descent]], [[The Bastion of Twilight]], and the [[Throne of the Four Winds]] will be eligible to begin the legendary quest. [[Bronze Dragonflight]] emissaries will be sent to the [[Alliance]] and [[Horde]] capital cities of [[Stormwind]] and [[Orgrimmar]] to recruit those who are ready to undertake the challenge.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2685003 Patch 4.2 Preview: A Legendary Engagement]</ref>
−
== Improvements ==
  
−
* [[Twin Disciplines]] increases Shadow and Holy spell damage and healing by 2/4/6%
  
−
* [[Evangelism]] stacks increase the throughput of Penance, but Penance cannot be used to build Evangelism stacks
  
−
* [[Inspiration]] procs from Penance crits, temporarily reducing the target's physical damage taken by 5/10%
  
−
* [[Grace]] procs from each tick of Penance - granting up to 3 stacks per cast, increasing healing received from the priest by up to 24%
  
−
* [[Renewed Hope]] increases the critical strike chance of Penance on targets afflicted by Weakened Soul or your Grace effect by 5/10%
  
−
* [[Train of Thought]] gives [[Smite]] a 50/100% chance to reduce the cooldown of Penance by 1 sec
  
−
* [[Glyph of Penance]] reduces the cooldown of Penance by 2 sec
  
   
  +
Dragonwrath will be an offensive caster staff, with bonuses that will not be attractive to [[healer]]s. As for how long the epic staff should take to construct, it is said that 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>

Revision as of 21:05, 3 July 2011

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 which will be added with Patch 4.2.0.[1]

Patch 4.2 introduces an epic quest that will challenge those daring enough to complete the legendary staff Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest. 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 won’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.

Only those who have emerged triumphant against the evils lurking within Blackwing Descent, The Bastion of Twilight, and the Throne of the Four Winds will be eligible to begin the legendary quest. Bronze Dragonflight emissaries will be sent to the Alliance and Horde capital cities of Stormwind and Orgrimmar to recruit those who are ready to undertake the challenge.[2]

Dragonwrath will be an offensive caster staff, with bonuses that will not be attractive to healers. As for how long the epic staff should take to construct, it is said that 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]

Quest line
