This is a very rare drop from Ambassador Flamelash in Blackrock Depths.

Good luck! Looks like like the Crown of Destruction from what I have heard.

Kommentar von 396

It does look like the crown of destruction (http://koti.mbnet.fi/luolah/sekalaiset/CrownOfDestruction.JPG) and since it's quite rare, you're sure to get a lot of whispers wearing it :)

Kommentar von Noise

Good fire resist, nice stamina, and the health-to-mana feature is nice for casters in long fights. It's redundant with a warlock's Life Tap spell, so better for a priest or mage. Not to mention it's one of the nicest looking head pieces in the game, IMO.

Kommentar von Asmodoues

The use looks like a fiery version of evocation- the same as the fire shield some mobs cast in Mechanar.

It deals 75 fire damage a second to you, non-resistable.

Kommentar von 21394

Still drops, just got one today on my 52 warlock.

Kommentar von 51948

Saw this on my priest and shaman need rolled it...me=1 shaman=100...i also lost my devout robe to him the first time i saw it drop

Kommentar von smdante

The health to mana feature would actually be quite useful for a drain-tank afflict lock- Health drained from the target is turned into mana which in turn fuels the drain life.

Kommentar von Caffi

I'm just wondering, does this work while moving, or while casting spells?
Or do you have to stand still and do nothing while using it?

Kommentar von cucmw5

Damage shields will absorb the health funnel. (PWS, fire ward) This includes Mark of the Dragon Lord. Unfortunately the 750 damage funnel will destroy said ring's regen shield.

Still, it's a crown of destruction for casters. At 70, you can skip pretty much all of BRD to this boss, pending you're one of the old-schoolers who got the Forge Key and the Love Potion back in the day. Be warned though - as a holy priest I couldn't solo the salamander. He grows throughout the fight and starts hitting for ~1200. Best to have a dps with you, or being a dps for that matter. Dropped once on a run-through, then on the fourth farmed kill afterwards. Good luck

Kommentar von soulol

In 2.3 the stats are being changed to:
20 stamina
18 dmg/healing
the use effect stays intact

Kommentar von PhoenixUnity07

Anyone know if this item recieves additional effect from spell damage?

I have been soloing this guy to get the polearm and this dropped the 4th try. The first time I used it it was doing 79 damage a tick.

Kommentar von 147048

This is great for locks/mages in pvp

Kommentar von Discolando

I am the lucky new owner of this beauty. It goes amazingly well with the Summer festival attire!

Kommentar von Cocomatona

The use effect appears to be affected by resilience, with no resilience I was taking the full 75 fire damage per tick, with 255 resilience I only took 70 damage per tick. Resilience only lowers the damage taken, the full 75 mana is restored even if the damage only ticks for 70. There's your useless fun fact of the day.

Kommentar von 142571

Resilience only lowers the damage taken, the full 75 mana is restored even if the damage only ticks for 70. There's your useless fun fact of the day.

Well resilience now reduce a % of the overal Dot damage on you that may explain why the damage is lowered

Kommentar von Xe4ro

It Looks more Like the Bomb Debuff from Geddon :D

And Btw It works in all Druid Forms. Looks great with Tree <3

Kommentar von 134700

this guy is easily gotten too/soloed as a fury war (im in s1 with green boots belt ect.) havent had one drop yet but i can solo all the bosses (even emporer). just get the key, dont need love potion, kill plugger, wait in the doorway for a patroll to come through the door and open it, kill em in there and head on down the ramp. just spam WW and hel die less than a min
-GL, meeck

Kommentar von Shoningun

Ok i gots a question what would happen if i use this with Molten Shields on?
Would i send fire dmg back at my self or would my crown be getting abused?

Kommentar von Zachu

Was bored today and decided to farm this along with Large Brilliant Shards, it actually dropped on my 2nd run.
Looks very nice when u use it, just like the Evocation spell to mages, just with a fiery look.
A real beauty.
(Gonna try to upload a screenshot)

Kommentar von 306853

Noone mentioned.... ITS THE COOLEST HEAD IN GAME!:P

Kommentar von 177729

After 2+ years of 5-15 runs per day farming, it dropped.

I am Thieve, official KING of Frostmane.

Way more eye-catching to wear with your midsummer garb than that halo-ish Crown.

Kommentar von 219437

This thing looks just like the one Nefarius wears.

Kommentar von Eagleshadow

FINALLY dropped on run 256!
So happy :)

Kommentar von fergotten123

I got this my first run through BRD, you could call me lucky. But anyways, its quite good for mages because if they just pop up ice barrier (if frost spec) and do the use effect, the damage is absorbed and you still get the mana.

Kommentar von scartaris

I am up to attempt 185, and still haven't seen this item. Is it still in the game?

Kommentar von scartaris

211 attempts. I was about to give up.

Kommentar von 370816

Sigh... 5days with 220 attempts + couple run each day before i start farming this non stop... still no luck... are u kidding me ?
Im about to give up, really.
Does it really takes that long to dropped ?
Since i thought it has like 1-2%/1.1% chance to drop... while i got Morning Glory Dew which has 1.5% chance to drop 5times...

edit : now i got a superior mana pot which has a chance 0.4% to drop...
can anyone confirm if this item hasnt been removed from the drop table yet ?

edit : 232 of hell and i got it! WOOHOOO!

Kommentar von Octayvius

You guys are so lucky, Took me 376 Runs to get this I literally farmed for 2 months straight this was the rarest Item I have ever farmed

Never lose faith, even if you get 200 Flame Fist

Kommentar von kevindv

wow, did my first BRd uper spire run (lvl 52 priest)
the item drops from boss :D didn't even knew that boss dropped it :D
Gonna be cool at lvl 54 to wear it :)

Cheer !

Kommentar von mindthegap5

The crown of destruction uses the same model and has a 20% cance to drop instead of 1% for this item. Might be able to try solo it? There are vids on youtube on how to do it just go check them out.
Unless all you can wear is cloth, soldier on!

Kommentar von cloverman84

Got this lastnight while a guildy was running my priest alt ^^ (first run) - I also didn't know it dropped, and only just realized the awesome use ability tonight o.O

... so tempted to keep the priest as a 59 twink now... !

Also, good thing to point out for a disc priest (as at level 55), popping a renew for 194 mana easily displaces the damage done :D (edit: shield also absorbs the damage)

Kommentar von mouseno4

2nd run on my priest, doing normal random LFD instances. This dropped and since its an awesome item for a priest, esp at my level - 54, i roll need. A stupid warlock decides to roll need as well, but i win it anyway. Wasnt intending on getting this on this priest or my main 80 priest but ill take it nonetheless for healing til around 60 or so.

Kommentar von 357444

So this dropped the other day while I was running BRD on my 54 rogue...I was tempted to swipe it for myself but there was a mage who had just joined our group after we'd lost a DPS and she needed it T_T Talk about luck..Just in time for the Summer festival, too....It looks much nicer than the Midsummer crown!

Kommentar von 449096

This item dropped twice in 5 runs, as I was solin the instance for Hand of Justice, on my lvl60DK

Kommentar von 596740

You can put this on a Blood Elf Paladin with a spikey up-do and unlock the Super Saiyan Hero Class. LMAO XD

Kommentar von ArashikageClan

If you're a rogue, the fastest way I've seen to get to the boss is to go through the door that will lead you above the arena, across to the other side. Keep following the route until you are in the circular room (the one next to the coffer chest rooms), then Shadowstep across to the mobs on the other side.

Walk down the stairs and the boss is right there. Pretty cool looking model and that's why I want it myself, here's hoping I don't have to run 300+ times.

edit: It seems, with rocket boots and a slow fall cape, you are able to jump across the lava behind the boss and exit the instance via the Molten Core portal, possibly saving you time in reseting the instance. I didn't try because I wasn't in a raid, but it seems like something to look into.

Kommentar von 308807

Brewfest event is the best time to farm for this item. Thanks to Dungeon Finder you are able to kill the boss who drops it every two minutes. Just sign for group, teleport to dungeon and while your party is fighting with Coren go to the Ambassador Flamelash. He is just next to event boss - you just have to open the door from the pub (pickpocket barman for key or do the Love Potion quest). Generally group kill Coren while you are passing the door (it takes some time for sucub to open it). Killing Ambasador takes maybe 15s. Kill him, loot and sign in for next Coren group. It seems to be a little unfair for others to fight without your help, but Coren fight is really undemanding.
One warning - people will see your loot from Flamelash and can roll for it, so you may lose your Circle for someone else.

Kommentar von spawnova

after getting direbrews remote i decided to farm this just for the looks,
less then a week of not really trying just using the remote when i had time i finally got it =]
if you have the remote this will be an easy item to get if you don't tho... could take a while

Kommentar von 703441

I can confirm this is still in the game. I luckily got it when getting my MC attunement.

Always wanted this when playing vanilla and was surprised to see it drop!

Kommentar von Tigr

As of 4.0.3 this has become much easier to farm (outside of Brewfest). Simply walk into the instance and use the Mole Machine Teleporter just off to the right side of the entrance. From there, you can use it to teleport just past the Grim Guzzler. Saves a lot of time walking back and forth through the instance!

If you have a Direbrew remote, you can still use the Mole Machine Teleporter (located off to the right side before walking down the ramp to Flamelash) to get back to the entrance after killing him.

Mine dropped around kill 50. Remember, the drops are a case by case basis, so you only have a ~1% chance of it dropping every time you reset the instance. Good luck!

Kommentar von 712486

It dropped on first try for me.

Kommentar von 498239

Got this today on my mage. A friend ran me through this for the first time and wham it drops. I had no idea there was an epic cloth head in BRD. Needless to say I was very very very happy.

Kommentar von meriax

This item seems like it got a huge buff to it's droprate, since I've seen it 3 times in a row and with 5% that is highly unlikely to happen.

Kommentar von Octayvius

5% is much higher then its old drop rate, by about 4% it used to be a 1% drop.

Kommentar von 173126

I got this on my disc priest the other day and it is an awesome little thing. Way better than the hood I had from UBRS - more intellect and the mana regen.

As a disc priest, with soul warding active, I resist 8 of the fire damage, then take 67 damage. This can easily be covered by a shield (1093 right now when I'm level 57 - 229 mana). It's basically a free 500 mana regen over 10 seconds to me.

Kommentar von 253455

Just dropped today for my priest, but lost the roll to a mage

Kommentar von Draxton

They've definitely upped the drop rate. I've seen it in all 4 of my BRD runs and I got into a LBRS run where 2 of the dps were wearing it.

Kommentar von 562685

Seems blizzard have buffed the droprate of all the epics from vanilla 5man bosses with the 4.0 patch, as i have seen Umarmung der Windnatter and this one drop within a few days, while never seeing them once in 5 years before.

Kommentar von Swosh89

I am suspection a big buff to epics below lvl 60 aswell, i was making some fun gear to go with the Gasmask , i got the Mark of The Dragon Lord at my 3rd run, the Book of the Dead aswell on my 3rd run and this crown on my first Brd run while me and a friend were there to hear the Lvl80ETC play...seems a bit too much of a coincidence to get 3 epics below lvl 60 within a few runs... i am pretty sure the rate haz been buffed...not that i am complaining this crown and the effect look awesome especially with some /Y emote :P

BY FIRE BE PURGED! ;D

Kommentar von 177655

Seen this three times in a row now, definitely either a % buff or a bug

Kommentar von Jevay

I just got this on my warlock. It's use effect appears to be quite strange.
The tooltip states it costs 75 health each tick, but it actually costs me 86 per tick, it's fire damage and I'm currently demology specced. I suppose it's scaling with Dämonisches Wissen. The mana regenerated stays the same, 75.
Also, it crit me for 172 but still only regenerated 75 mana.

It's a fun item with awesome looks and good stats, sad that it's unlikely going to be weared above level 60.

Kommentar von zekeremix

Got this today on my Mage while running random leveling up. :)

Exact head piece that Nefarian in human form is wearing.

Kommentar von Malanno

I've dropped it 3 times in 3 runs (as a level 85), the drop rate is probably higher since the last patches, or it's just a huge coincidence.

Kommentar von Slania

Stupidly easy to farm now at high level, just take the mole machine at the entrance of BRD to "just past the Grim Guzzler", walk past a trash pack and down the ramp to Flamelash's room. The only obstacle is the 5 instances per hour limit :/. *Edit: Did 5 instances, got a few cloaks, a trinket and a polearm. Logged and played an alt for a while to wait out the "too many instances" thing, relogged my main and got it on the next try :D. Will be great for Midsummer :D.

Kommentar von Amoreyna

A note to Frost Mages:

If you're frost shield is up when you use this item, your shield will either absorb all the damage or break part of the way through depending on your level and how much damage your shield has already taken.

Kommentar von wowgeek123

Got this to drop for my warrior (darn it), and on my first try. Didn't even know it existed before the drop.

Kommentar von 808170

I must be the luckiest person ever.
Earlier today, I was running my level 42 druid friend through BRD and it dropped. As I, being a DK, didnt have much reason besides looks to take it, I let him have it.
At 12:02 AM this morning I ran through to make the enchantment trinket (I was just bored). He was the ONLY boss I fought, and I one hitted him. He dropped it yet again. So TWO drops in around 4 hours. I'd call that a glitch in the rng.

Kommentar von Mamimi

I can confirm this still drops after Cataclysm (Posting because one of my friends was skeptical about farming it)

Kommentar von konfupatrick

This is a awesome cloth head i just got it for my 51 mage and its not bad 4/5 stars for it :)

Kommentar von leosen

It dropped for me 3/7 times this evening...

Kommentar von Forumchibi

Farmed this today for the first time, took my mage 12 runs before I got it.

Kommentar von ThaKeeper

This is gonna be on my transmogrification list!

Kommentar von crazymike

The damage is subject to resists, absorbs, and can crit, but you will always gain 75 mana per tick regardless of the damage taken. Although it acts like a channel (you can't move without deactivating the effect), damage done to you while it is in effect will not push it back or cancel it.

Priests benefit the most from this piece, but any cloth wearer can make good use of it. If you're lucky enough to get it in that level range, you won't be disappointed.

Kommentar von 838521

:::ATTENTION FARMERS::: If you are looking to farm this item for transmog/RP, and it is still Brewfest, just wait for your groupies to leave your random Coren Direbrew group and then run to the boss. He's the next boss right outside the bar doors. This worked especially well for me since I'm a healer. The queue times were <1 minute approx. Once he's dead, loot, and re-queue if necessary. Good luck! Hopefully y'all see this in time =)

Edit: Forgot to mention, you will not receive the 5 dungeons per hour penalty using this method.

Kommentar von AnarchyAo

I guess I get to be one of 'those' people because I received this item on my third run today.

It was during the Direbrew event, the third time I had queued as a tank (and I was retribution tanking with righteous fury for my group). This wasn't a big deal because I was pulling 40k+ dps usually and the boss died in 30 seconds or less.

Any who, this third attempt I was lazy and figured it wouldn't drop any way so I ran over to the boss before killing Coren. Well, it ended up dropping. I begged the group not to roll on it, told them I had spent hours and hours farming for the item.

All passed except one person, who happened to be on my server. When he realized this, he did trade me it. I argued that if I had not been there to kill the boss, then he never would have seen it. He was nice, so I gave him 5k gold for being cool about it.

Kommentar von AnarchyAo

I think there may be some truth to the drop rate buff, if other people are seeing similar patterns of success. I actually received the item on my third run, then I had a friend direbrew remote me to BRD so that I could easily get back to Blackrock Spire.

Well, I had about 45 seconds left before it teleported me to the GY, so I decided why not I'll go kill Flamelasher for the heck of it.

He dropped the Circle of Flame again....that's twice in a row, back to back.

Kommentar von sethris

Took me about four hours of farming because of the restriction on number of instances entered per hour (5 per hour). When I finally came here to check the drop rate, I got it on the next drop. So 21 was the lucky number for me. haha

Wowhead is good luck!

Kommentar von llangevi

I wanted this to do a transmorgify for my level 85 priest. Here is what I did.

1) Enter the instance (If you have the special device that drops during the Brewfest, ll the better - fast!)
2) Off to your right (if entering normally) will be an "Abandoned Mole Machine". Click on it and select the first destination: "Just past the Grim Guzzler".
3) I couldn't be bothered killing anything, so I hugged the "curb" on my left and headed to the entrance that is on the right, just past the first mob (you cannot go any other direction anyhow, since you are backed up to a drop to the lower level). Once you go past those mobs (and you did not jump down the wrong way!), then walk down the stairs past the Tauren "Thunderheart". Straight ahead from there is the "boss". Kill him in a few seconds and loot.

Rinse and repeat until this item drops. I got:

2 Pole arm (Flame Wrate)
2 Cloak (Cap of the Fire Salamander)
1 Trinket (Burst of Knowledge)

This means that 5 times I clicked on my profile picture, selected "Reset all instances" and re-entered the instance. On the 6th time it said "You have entered too many instances recently", and I was locked out until it reset normally (another day). Now, while there are some people who claim that they got it on the first try, I was not one of them, but I will keep doing this until the circle of flame is mine!

I got it after the 11th time in. Interestingly enough, the "too many instances" reset each time after a few hours, not an entire day as I had syspected.

Kommentar von thenightfall

Perfect item for transmog if you've got a fiery looking cloth set as I do.

Kommentar von Benzie

Went in and killed Flamelash, it dropped the 2nd time in there, so it is still possible for those beginning to loose all hope :(

Kommentar von Recah

Farming Circle Of Flame Ambassador Flamelash in youtube.

Kommentar von 864570

It dropped for me in about 90 runs..it was a bit nerve breaking but I still consider myself lucky. Just need to keep hopes up and continue trying. Its a very nice transmog headpiece for cloth wearers! :) Good Luck

Kommentar von sinestra139

This just dropped for my gnome priest healer - what a beauty!

I didn't know anything about it until it dropped on probably my 3rd or 4th BRD run. Sorry guys, I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Definitely will keep for transmog!

Kommentar von Measa

Grats Sinestra.
I was farming this Five times a day for a little more then a week after working up an armor set that looks something like this. Each time I did get the feeling that Botschafter Flammenschlag was giving me the big middle finger each time with his Geschmolzene Fäuste from the other side of the virtual grave.

Kommentar von Unpossible

After seeing numerous posts about how the drop rate is currently a glitch because it is seen so often and does not reflect the 4% drop rate listed, let us remember a few things:

1) Random is random.
2) The % drop rate listed is not what is hard-coded by Blizzard, it is simply a number of times that Wowhead has seen the item drop against the number of times that Wowhead has seen the boss die, of the entire life of this particular database.
3) Any increase in the drop rate of this item made by Blizzard in a patch will not be reflected here ... the % drop rate will simply begin to increase from where it was previously, in this case from 1%. This means that if the current drop rate is about 25% of the time, then Wowhead will figure that in along with the other 6 years that this item only dropped about 1% of the time. Normally this would mean the percentage would barely move, especially since lower-level dungeons aren't completed as often these days ... however, in this case, this is a particularly sought-after item, and thus BRD is ran many times each day by toons of all levels that are eligible, and the advent of the LFD tool also helps increase the number of runs, and thus it has managed to increase to 4% now.
4) Your mileage may vary.

Kommentar von 986422

I found a little trick to farming this and to avoid the long wait for the "to many instances" messege if you wanna wait for that to go you will be waiting about 1 hour before you can re-enter the instance but you instead log out for about 15mins and you should be able to enter once you log back in
unless they have fixed this through a patch or something im not too sure

Kommentar von 849346

So far 27 kills and no luck :(

Kommentar von 991315

Took me 14 runs to get it :D

Kommentar von 999086

Got it in my 5th run, thanks to my awsome friends *.*

Kommentar von Neutralis

Help me my hair is on fire! lol

Kommentar von 986725

I have this for 3 of my cloth geared toons and I've helped several others get it for their toons. It seems that the 4% drop rate is fairly accurate (as of current patch) as it seems that you can expect to do this about 20 times (on average) before it will drop. However your results may vary.

Farming this item is pretty easy IMO, the best way to do this is to hop on the toon whom you want to wear/xmog the item and make your way over to Burning Steppes and enter Blackrock Mountain via the south entrance. You'll want to go to the Lower City, so once inside the mountain, fly straight down and you'll see a blood elf quest giver (low level). Go north until you see one of those big metal wheel looking things with a torch in front of it. Then head west briefly until you see a big stone slab on your right, than travel north again via the hallway called "The Masonry". At the end of this hallway on your right will be the instance portal to the Lower City.

Once you're inside the instance, you can take the mole machine and select "Just past the Grim Guzzler " and just past the first mob to your right is a doorway that takes you to Botschafter Flammenschlag who drops the Kreis der Flamme.

It can be somewhat time consuming to make the trek over to this instance every time, so what I suggest is leaving your toon (the one you want to have Circle of Flame) at the instance until it drops. Chances are you will not get this on your first, fifth, or 10th try, so after each failed attempt, just log off that toon and hop on another until about an hour or so passes and log back on the toon you left at Blackrock Depths, and your toon should respawn at the entrance so you can just take the mole machine back to the boss and try again.

As far I'm concerned it's well worth the effort to get this because it can work so well with a multitude of xmog sets, and you have the advantage of showing off your hairstyle with this head piece :).

Kommentar von 489354

So far over 50 runs and still not dropping, just my luck :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

New stats on 1.10 are:
+20 sta
+15 Fire resistance

Use: Channels 75 health into mana every 1 sec for 10 sec.
5 mins cooldown.

I�m very happy i kept it on bank hoping it get buffed.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Might get flamed a bit for asking, but would it be fair for a Warlock to roll on this item?

Kommentar von Thottbot

In response to the question above, this is definitely a piece that warlocks should roll on.
The stats alone confirm that. Sure, the 5 min cooldown use may be more useful for priests, but the stam offered on this helm really makes more sense for warlocks...

Kommentar von Thottbot

this is so useless for a warlock, good FR gear thats it, the ability for it is much more suited for a healing class. the use of mana to health multiplys for healers.

lifetap with talent points even benifits more than this by far, in 1/5th the time.

-lodwkefin 60 warlock

Kommentar von Thottbot

I play a priest, a mage, and a warlock.
I don't think any of the mages and especially warlocks who posted here are dumb. I don't think you really believe that you can get more benefit from this shiny thing than priests. After all, you know your class, and you know what's it capable of. You know you have life tap, mana gems and evocation. And you probably know that priests have no innate way of recovering mana, obviously making this item best suitable for priests.
Knowing all that, you see that that item has loads of stamina and fire resistance, and the manaregen can be of some use to mages in very long fights. So, of course there will be situations when you will use the item (FR fights). But you also know that that item will be worth to you 30% of what it's worth to a priest.
You rolling on that item is like priest rolling on +fire damage item because it has more intellect than their current gear. It's like hunter rolling on +SPI staff, or warrior on +INT plate. You can do it, and you can use the item, it may be better than what you had before, but you screwed someone who needed it more. From my point of view, it's a selfish act worthy of beeing called ninjaing, and paints the person who did it black, even in a computer game.
But as stated in subject, it's a matter of point of view.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Mage: Evocation, Mana Rubies, Clearcasting (talent), Mage Armor (15% mana regen)

Warlock: Lifetap, Health Stones (to help with Lifetap), Demonic Sacrifice (talent; 3% hp every 4 seconds or 2% mana every 4 seconds).

Priests: Meditation (talent; 15% in-combat mana regeneration), Spirit Tap (talent; requires killing blow on green mob)

...

Mages and Locks have many methods of regaining mana without the use of gear. Priests, however, do not. A BWL priest can attain very good mana regen via both Meditation and their tier 2 3-piece set bonus for a total of 30% in-combat mana regeneration. Then again, this is a BRD 5-man item, therefore the argument that they'll get better doesn't hold much water.

Remember: they helped you to even get to the Ambassador; don't roll against them because it's pretty.

Kommentar von Thottbot

So this dropped for us recently with no cloth-wearers present. A Druid and a Shaman rolled off for it, and the Druid won (me).

The alternate healer-gear item I have for that slot is a Feathermoon Headdress, which has 13 Sta, 20 Int, 21 Spi.

It's looking pretty clear that the Circle of Flame is nearly always better:

In long fights where running out of mana is an issue, CoF gives 750 mana every 5 minutes, whereas 21 spirit only gives a Druid 630 mana every 5 minutes, LESS the percentage of time spent in the Five-Second Rule. Even the 200 extra mana at the start of the fight from the +Int on the headdress doesn't make up the difference.

Also consider that (say) in a 6 minute fight, CoF can be used twice, giving 1500 mana, compared to 756 mana * %FSR for 21 spirit.

In short fights where running out of mana is an issue, chances are that it's been more than 5 minutes since the last fight, or that the cooldown will complete by the time it's needed. Once in a while it won't be and the Int/Spi would have been better... in which case (if it matters enough) one can swap in another helm before the fight.

Lastly in fights where running out of mana is *not* an issue, or where caster survivability is more important than mana supply, the 7 extra Sta and 15 Fire Resist are definitely worth the loss of 69 armor.

Druids gain 1/5 mana per 2sec per spirit.
21/2*5 = 2.1 mana/sec. 2.1*300=630 mana/5min. A Priest/Mage would gain 787.5 mana in 5min... of course that's only if they stay out of the FSR the whole time.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm a warlock, and I personally understand that the on-use function of this fiery hat is almost entirely useless for a warlock, and by that i mean that it's useless beyond appearances. However, the fact remains that this item is tied for the second highest FR cloth helm (with Eye of Flame). The highest cloth FR hat i can find is the Wizardweave Turban, which has only resistances, and I'd much rather have the stat buffs of either Eye of Flame or Circle of Flame so i could afford to do 20 Fire Resistance instead of 100 HP enchant, as having a helm with 20 Stamina AND 35 Fire Resistance would be lovely for MC (and any other case for which you'd require FR).

That being said, I already have the Eye of Flame (bought it for a good price the night before my guild actually set an FR minimum), and would probably not roll against a Priest for this item. However, I have already started farming BRD for this, and will continue to do so until i get ahold of it.

Afternote: My figures exlude Goblin Construction Helmet and Fire Goggles because not everyone's an engineer, and could thus not wear these fairly nice FR items without giving up their own professions.

Thi dropped last night. Being a shaman i don't need.. a warlock got it. It's cool first epic drop i saw. XD

Kommentar von Thottbot

Kommentar von Thottbot

Hunter item! :D Hunters need intellect too...:)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Dropped on my first kill of the guy. Only clothy was a priest so he got it, lucky him aye? I've been getting good drops in there though. Like 2 runs and already 3 thigns I can use. All I need is the gladiator chestpiece and some of the gear and I'm good to go

Kommentar von Thottbot

the only thing about this for warlock is the stam....

Kommentar von Thottbot

The new stats on this item after 2.3 are pretty nice for low level. Not sure why I kept mine after all this time, just like the burning crown I guess.
20 stam,
75 health to mana every second for 10 seconds
+18 spell damage/healing.
Not bad for an item wearable at level 54.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This item is as rare as the Baron's mount,or maybe all epic items drops are like it. Anyways, I've been running BRD several times,and still no luck.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was shard farming the other day and got this to drop. and on the same run the mace dropped at the end. It's too bad these drops were wasted on a 70. Good luck guys

Kommentar von Thottbot

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Saw this worn by a rogue today. He is in a naxxguild, I heard they farmed it for looks. Hehheh. She was a troll with 2 bonescythes and a few deathdealers. Quite surprised when I saw it.

She was Lelita <Vanity> Lightnings Blade EU :)

This has the same graphic as the Crown of Destruction that is dropped by Ragnaros of Molten Core.

Here is a picture of a Male Night Elf in the helm ( my 60 Hunter on Cenarius =-) ).

Hrmm looks lik moneys gonan be valuable in WoW.. bet Ebay gets rich for awhile )

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you've ever done Upper Spire, it looks like the helm made of fire that you see on the guy pacing next to Rend before he jumps down. Where can I submit a screenshot?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This is a cool looking hat--nothing more,nothing less. Got this one night helping friends farm HoJ. I wear it before we pull Nef just to screw around, other than that the cool factor wears off after a couple days. :P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This NOT a lock helm...repeat NOT. They can already do the mana vs life conversion already. This is a Mage, Priest, and even maybe a Druid head piece. Although some ppl may argue..."Oh, hey look! FR!" In the end, it should only go to who it would best benefit. The order should goto Priests, then Mages...then ect. I'm a mage and I really want this head piece, but if we had a Priest in the group with us, I would gladly pass on this item. It's a respect thing. Runnign instances should be for fun, not greed.

Pimp! It's got Spirit, Fire Res, and what I've always wanted: HP -> MP!
Not to forget, it looks PIMP as hell!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i found a 60 epic'd warrior tanking with this on (yes i made sure it was this not Crown of Destruction) and he was tanking rag kick'n major tail then during BWL he had it on at one point for the fire resist then he switch to his Wrath

Kommentar von Allakhazam

today, me and my guild were farming FR gear in BRD...

wiped on the boss once cuz some adds pwned us

killed him, he DROPPED IT XDD (first kill for me)

other shaman and me (shaman) rolled on it... i got a 3... was thinking, !@#$ I WANTED IT SO BADLY... the other shaman rolled a 1 XDD

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This head is for healers.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Anyone know the cooldown on the Use ability?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

not bad, anyone got a a screen shot of it?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I wish it still had the original stats of 30 spirit and 15 fr

Kommentar von Allakhazam

How long is the CD on the use ablity?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just want to say, this is fine for any caster, although it's mostly a Lock item.

The life>mana conversion isn't all that great. 750 mana every 5 minutes kind of sucks. The Chief Architect's Monocle which drops in BRD from a boss I can't remember the name of, gives 10 stamina, 26 intellect and 3 spirit. As you can see, that 26 intellect is better than the Circle of Flame's 5 minute cooldown. Maybe if the cooldown was better, it'd be nice.

However, the 20 stamina on this helm makes it more for Warlocks than anyone else. Mages and priest go for spirit and intellect over stamina any day, which is why the Chielf Architect's Monocle is MUCH better for them.

But this thing looks AWESOME so any clothie should get to equally roll on it. It's kind of crappy for anyone but I got mine recently while being run through by my sister and another friend, and I'll be equipping it at 54 just for the looks.

Either way, whatever gear you have at on at level 58 will be replaced by level 60 through Outlands quests.. so I wouldn't get too worked up over this helm if it drops.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got this last night, very nice addition for a priest, made the moment between mob attacks much more mana friendly. cast bubble, renew and then use it. the renew more then compensates for the hp lost and the bubble protects you while channeling.

will keep it in my bag o' fire resitance I think.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Incendius dropped it in BRD...

I was the only cloth wearer, so now my hair is "on fire" whenever I go into a fire-based instance...heh

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Dropped today for me(druid), warrior and mage. Me and the mage rolled need on it, the mage rolled 96 and won..

After some hours i'm still trying to kick myself in the head.. It's a hardcore item.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The Use: ability of this helm is a channeled effect, much like mage evocation, only it hurts and doesn't give you nearly as much mana... so you have to sit there doing nothing else for 10 seconds. It's useful to stretch out your mana bar a little, but as a priest, it's probably not going to save your party in a tight spot - though it could help you avoid getting into one in the first place.

A few other interesting things...
- Yes, Fire Protection Potions will absorb the damage.
- No, you can't resist it. Or at least I never did - and it was part of my FR suit for a long time, so if it were possible, I'd think it would have happened.
- I assume you could kill yourself with this, though I never tried.
- The visual effect looks exactly like Baron Geddon's Living Bomb debuff. I was very quickly banned from wearing it during that fight.

just had a 70 warr helping me trough brd, needed some xp to 54, had 57 shamy healing, i was very happy when it dropd. and i needed on it cuz my chapeau from sm cath was kinda.... old... more stam more mana, simple as that, and since casters best deffence is hp, at some point, at least mine is, i rly enjoy it. very nice

Looks cool if your character is kinda like Victor Nefarius...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ciccero, you can't buy this, see the text "Binds when picked up." That means you need to be there to loot it otherwise you can never have it. So I guess ebay wont be seeing any extra love.

i got this yesterday, very nice stamina and fire res EQ, but the use function is worthless due to the fact that im a warlock...

still cool as hell though...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This dropped on my first run through BRD. I was going to de it, but it looks too awesome. Plus, the +15 FR is pretty sweet and if I take an elixir of superior defense, it makes up for my lost armor when I de-equip my plate helm. :D I probably won't use it for anything serious, but I like to wear it around SW because I look cool, and by cool, I mean totally sweet.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just got this, second time in brd so I can't really vouch for the droprate. It's a nice item but isn't as epic as it should be, a slight increase to fire damage would have been appropriate but nope. Still though I wanted a change from the chapeau which was really getting old, I'm guessing the epic status is mainly earned by looking absolutely kickass and having a cooldown that is visually appealing (Whilst channeling you look like your casting a fire based evocation)(although very lacking in usefulness).

Kommentar von Allakhazam

even if it had +1 int or no stats at all id still ask my guildies to leave this baby for me :>
btw, id really like Blizz to make this drop BoE :/

BTW, Flamelash drops it, not Incendius. learn2payattention

This was made for a lock.

Throw Fiery Weapon on Soul Harvester, pull out your steed, along with this burning above your head = PIMP.

Handy for MC with that 15 Fire res. Pretty decent.

Kommentar von TerribleAtGames

This dropped in BRD today, and my healing priest was luckily the only mana user in the group. I do not imagine wearing this one unless when I need to conserve my water and potions, so it is quite handy occasionally.
