Confirmed: proc rate scales with level; on a level 70 it'll almost never go off.

Yes, it’s similar to the Hand of Justice in this way. On a level 70 character the proc will almost never go off.

PTR at the moment, will go on the Live servers with the release of 2.3 if i'm not mistaken. (it's part of the leveling changes that are being made)

Kommentar von hpavc

I dont see the big deal that people are crying about future nerfs, all items with these procs are diminished in effectiveness against higher level characters. Just as a level 70 can duel you with two freezing bands on and they will see 'resist' over and over again on their screen. We all knew this since before TBC came out, this is nothing new.

On the idea of this being a level 29 item and suited for twinks where a level 70 quickly cleans all the mobs except doan. Then the twink zones in and has a chance for the item. Frankly it wouldn't matter if the item was 29 or 30 that stuff is still going to occur. Though most all those doan's will put the twink to level 30 which might be truely funny to someone at Blizzard.

Kommentar von 38795

One thing to keep in mind is that they are also adjusting the level range on many instances. The adjustments might make this just right for the new level range for SM Library.

The ultimate Twink dream... all Twink haters out there, beware!

Kommentar von 88948

Actually it's listed that it has a 5% proc chance :o
Sometimes i realy think that Blizz want twinkz... Damn

Kommentar von 100254

Confirmed to proc on Melee, Ranged, AND spells.

Kommentar von Hevnlyst

Blizzard's own item database has updated and classified this item as having a very low (3-14%) drop rate. Pretty good for an epic. Shouldnt be too impossible for a twink to get.

Kommentar von max123

Furby, the ring is a confirmed drop, it dropped for me yesterday. Keep trying it, it is real, and it is also on armory, you probably didn't spell it right.

Approximately 7% drop chance, however i got lucky and got it on my 6th run

Good Luck on getting it everyone ^ ^

Kommentar von 101385

i just completed my 100th run. no ring
about to give up and say its fake.

i hate u all saying "oh i got it on my 2nd run", "dang im lucky i got it on my 5th run" "Im so cool i got it on my 11th run"

The freeze effect procs shatter for mages.

Kommentar von Chrizz

Did 2 runs with a 70 warrior and dropped for me very cool ring

Kommentar von 98069

Here's a little surprise for you hunters.
It turns out that you AND your pet share the freeze ability.
I've noticed that on occasion, when my pet is struck, the enemy will freeze in place.

Kommentar von Kefra

The item's name is a reference to the legend that famous cowboy Wild Bill Hickok was playing five-card stud and was holding a pair of Aces and eights when he was shot in the head. The term "Dead Man's Hand" today specifically refers to this combination of cards in poker.

Kommentar von scoutz

This just dropped off the last boss in Armory. Procs very often which is pretty cool, LVL 49 now!

Kommentar von 94032

just wondering what class would benefit best from this in the 29 bracket. im thinking druid, mage, priest or hunter but not necessarily in that order.

Kommentar von 8814

7 runs on my twink no drop, switched characters, first run dropped for friends twink.
Great ring coupled with:

of the bear or monkey

Kommentar von 96630

Would it be a waste of time to search for it as a 29 twink or not?...

Kommentar von 115011

well, it can't just be 0.2% drop chance on this... me and my brother boosed a friend of ours in SM and suddenly this thing dropped, without anyone of us ever have heard of it. my brother won the roll cause it could be usefull even if lvl 70 if the proc worked even then. I wanted the ring myself, so when we were done boosing my friend I went lib 2 times, i would prolly have gone there up to 5 times, but not anymore, so i didn't get my hopes up. the first time I killed him solo I got Illusionary rod and the robe... the second time I killed him I got the ring and the robe. so even with 14% drop rating that requires an insane amount of luck, but with a 0.2% drop chance as it sais.... it requires an unaturally insane amount of shitluck.

Kommentar von Fallout

And what brackets are you fighting in? 1300? The scalar proc rate of this item means at 70 it'll almost never be going off. Smart move trading resilience and decent stats for 10 stam and a sub-1% proc.

Calling BS here on 'numerous'.

Kommentar von 62879

Dropped for me today on my very frist doan kill since the patch. Drop rate can't be that terrible or i am just very lucky

Kommentar von birgerogole

I have dropped this ring myself sometime took me 3 runs to drop it the third time i had 4 twinks wíth me and i cleared the hole *!@# thy waited outside then the ring dropped and all rolled funny enough al lrolled 45 then i jsut told them that i was going to roll on it then i gave eacha number to number you know thy all got if it is 0-25 you get and so on and i rolled 100 lucky nr. 100 :) not hard to get as i think of it -.-

Kommentar von 107012

is this ring good for Mage's?. im a level 34 now

Kommentar von 121238

Ughhhh, I've killed Doan 22 times and it hasn't dropped yet :/ This is getting so irritating.

Make that 27.

Make that 31 and zippo :/

0 for 37 :(

FINALLY GOT IT ON THE 39TH KILL. I think I have the worst luck on the planet.

Kommentar von 80714

Expect to see this after NO LESS than 20 kills on average. If it drops earlier you got lucky. If it hasn't dropped yet and you have passed 20 kills dont be discouraged... the odds are now in your favor.

Kommentar von 121961

I was lucky enough to get this for my Feral Druid the second time thanks to my GF! =D
Lucky me 1/2

Kommentar von AuReacT

So I was thinking.. how much does the procrate lower per level? And what will it be at 70 ?

Kommentar von Orvisand

This is the lowest level epic ring you can find, and very handy in Warsong Gulch.

Kommentar von 124374

jus got it as a lvl 33 holy pally was very surprised they made the epics this low of a lvl and the best part is i didnt run it a lot i ran it only 3 times to get it XD

Kommentar von 125038

My friend got this drop on the first try....

Hes very lucky...

Kommentar von 403

I have to say that I was blown away by how much this ring procs. In WSG, my druid buddy proc'ed it like 4 times in less than 2 minutes while defending me as the FC. It was insane. 5% proc rate is amazing. BTW...this was on the 29 bracket.

Kommentar von Kizrak

these two rings would be insane for frost mage in the 49 battlegrounds...

Freezing Band
Binds when equipped
Finger
+10 Frost Resistance
Requires Level 47
Equip: Increases damage done by Frost spells and effects by up to 21.
Equip: When struck in combat has a 1% chance of inflicting 50 Frost damage to the attacker and freezing them for 5 sec.

Deadman's Hand
Binds when picked up
Unique
Finger
+10 Stamina
Requires Level 29
Equip: When struck in combat has a chance of freezing the attacker in place for 3 sec.

or something,
xkq

Kommentar von 115424

Lowest level epic armor/weapon in the game. The only ones lower are the Riding Turtle and the Abyssal Scepter, which are not wearable items.

Kommentar von Sient

Weird, was bored on my 60 rogue and killed the dude and got the ring first drop...

Kommentar von Lizzle

Had my brother run me through the library four times for the dagger off of Doan and had this drop 2 out of 4 trips. Needless to say I got one and my brother got the other just for kicks.

Kommentar von 71587

Anecdotal review: In the 39 bracket--with a feral druid--I fought a pally who had this.
I would conservatively estimate that the proc went off 4 times per encounter (I probably fought him 3 times, we are both twinks, obviously, if I am hitting him that many times).

For a pally...good for flag running or catching a heal (or making a druid noob like me shift-oom). For a class that depends on kiting and distance, I would say this is completely invaluable if you are going to stay at 29/39 for a while.

Kommentar von 114158

still, its wonderring me why i cant DE it. althrough it's an epic item

Kommentar von blessed

If you are a twink and are doubting if you should go for this since it "should" be hard to farm... go for it.
Me and my friend are making a twink together and we were basicly boosting eachother with our twinks still at lvl 21. Got our first one on attempt #3 and the 2nd one on about the 11th.

From a proud owner of a Deadman's Hand

Kommentar von Pane

I have this item on my paladin, and have to say the proc is utterly useless for melee classes in pve. All it does it root the opponent into place, but hey, you're meleeing; you're not moving either!

I can imagine you may have some 'Fraps-moments' in low-bracket pvp with this, but nothing you can count on. It's 10 stamina, which is nice, but the proc is for comic effect and that's about it.

Kommentar von 14300

So I'm confused because I see this ring is supposed to be super hard to get but I got it on my 2nd run and today my friend (the one who also ran me) ran this other guy and he got it first run..? Were we just super lucky or what lol?

Kommentar von Mortenz

Proc chance is listed as 5%.

At level 70, using the *0.66 formula, this will be
5*0.66=3.333~.

So it would be approx 3.3% proc chance, for level 70.

Kommentar von 11507

Took 2 days, 94 Kills before i got the 2 rings my brother n i needed .... got about 8 BOE blues and made like 80Gin silver drop :S

Kommentar von Zillaji

Actually did a run to get the robe/shoulders and staff/dagger, and it actually dropped on the first kill, its a nice thing as a priest, sometimes allow me to get some range for more spells :P

Kommentar von 140452

As a prot paladin farming instances as lvl 70 this is so so. IWhile you pull and run it can come in handy if some mobs are frozen in place. It minimizes damage a little but is it worth switching for other lvl 70 epic rings, I dunno. I have green rings and use this one for know...

Kommentar von 111622

Keep this until level 47

Freezing Band I still have on my PvP level 70 Frost Mage. Got it for 60g at level 48 and kept it since. I think it stacks with Spell Hit + but im not sure, I might just be getting 'loved' by Warriors a LOT more than I think...

It procs very often.

Kommentar von bananastand

I checked out the wowarmory info on the drop and they list it as 3-14% droprate. http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=34227

But for my fun story, I needed a ghetto hearth and decided to run into SM library to get the key, killed Doan got the ring. Seems I can never get lucky with drops when I actually need them.

Kommentar von 144451

Disenchanted into Large Glowing Shard x3 for me.

Noticed it wasn't any disenchant info on this, so..:p

Kommentar von 146992

Took my friends alt through SM last night for exp, this ring dropped both runs lol
oh and it procs A LOT for his level 36 druid

Kommentar von 146872

Say I have two mobs or players on me,and they both hit me,will they BOTH freeze or just one?

Kommentar von 99905

Got today on my soon to be lvl 39 Rogue Twink I found the easiest way to get it was park my rogue twink at the front of the instance, then with my prot pallie on a different account i would clear the first hallway and courtyard area all in one nice big AOE pull. I would then run to Doan, Tag him and run back to the entrance with all the mobs in tow. Id run around teh corner almost to the portal so the ranged would come into range and then i would consencrate them down.

Took about 15-20 runs, and i think its been stated that the drop is actually about 5%.

Kommentar von Xigg

I ran maybe 6 times to get is on my hunter twink.
It dropped on the 6th run.
Came back about 2 hours later, on the first run it dropped again, then about 5 runs later it dropped again, then i ran again the next day and it dropped again. Four drops in less than 12 hours. AMAZING!

When I disenchanted it I got 4 Large Glowing Shards.

Kommentar von 62815

Since its epic, you'd expect it be some lore behind it. Anyone sitting on anything intresting about this ring?

Kommentar von 52664

Hadda say, cos someone's gotta -- first run, first drop. ;)

Kommentar von 165871

I ran my draenei shaman through SM 2 times, once as a lvl 30 (i leveled once inside), and again the next day as a 32, and picked up deadman's hand on the second run. the first run didn't drop much of anything useful, but i got a LOT out of the second. word to the wise..if you are going in as a shaman, make sure you are going in as a healer (i am not, i'm elemental), because the majority of the guys inside are totally resistant to most of your spells...better for you to just sit back and heal=)

Kommentar von 129188

I got it for my pally twink in the making today.

I got it on my 21st run.

I used a prot pally / fire mage / frost mage (only 1 at a time) for 5 runs each time, (hitting the instance cap in about 30 minutes, then logging, coming back in 30ish and repeat).

I just got the 70 to tag the boss, run back to the entrance, kill, loot (with group loot) and repeat. I didn't get too much exp. My twink went from level 20 to 22 from the 21 attempts.

I noticed that, the prot pally was best, followed by the fire mage, with the frost mage being the slowest. All similarly geared. Id say player skill level was fairly even. The prot pally was doing each run in about 5 minutes.

Kommentar von 161942

Ok well I started off trying to get this ring around level 30ish, when I was in my SM craze. I was (and still am) tanking hella lot and the +10 stam beats all other rings around that level, add a sweet effect and a purple name, and you got one badass ring. A few SM lib runs later I was frustrated that it wasn't dropping.. So I looked at the drop rate and wanted to cry. My guild ran SM lib about 5 times every day and still nothing.. To do this day I haven't seen this ring drop and I still stealth SM lib to doan (I am level 52 currently) just to see if it will drop. This ring is EXTREMELY Rare. For the 29 twinks out there counting on being able to get this.. Don't count on it, especially with limited runs per hour.

Kommentar von Maluna

I don't know if I've missed something or if I'm hoping for too much, but;

Does the proc freeze the target, preventing action, or freeze them in place like say roots (only sans DoT ofc)?

Kommentar von 133967

Theres a very easy way to run this all u have to have is close friesnds or guildies looking for a quick buck run the instance with ure main preferbaly lvl 50-60 drop rate is higher then than at 70 ive heard anyways run until it drops dont loot invite a friend to ure party have him come to SM dont log out until he enters the instance then log onto twink(have him outside the entrance) run in and loot the ring easy simple and u dont waste countless money on other people to run u thru the instance and u can skip mobs so theres no aggro on ure high lvl hunters are preferably the best people for the job grab a few stack of swiftness pots run to doan fiegn death kill him if he drops the ring clear the rest of the instance and do what i said oh and pay the guildy to stay in the one spot if u dont trust him well enough

Kommentar von jaxsonbateman

This ring, while overall good for most melee classes, can actually prove annoying at times if you plan on stunning anything. At the very least it shares DR (diminishing returns) with Hammer of Justice, so on my pally I was getting 2-3 sec stuns where I'd usually get 5, due to this ring proccing (at worthless times mind you).

If you're doing something where you *need* the full duration stun - for example, soloing a difficult elite where you need to stun + heal, and need the full duration to get it off - it's not necessarily a bad idea to take it off.

Kommentar von cloverfield

This nasty thing dropped twice in a roll for me.Sadly i cant loot it twice lol

Kommentar von DoomHammer

Its drop rate is about 1 percent id say, its dropped twice for me and with all my alt (5 used to be...) iv ran all together maybe 70 times or so. and with all these people in bg who are starting to get them im thinking its higher then what it says here.

Kommentar von 133837

I got 4 small radiants, enough for fiery :)

Kommentar von 180358

Just solo'd Arcanis Doan for this, dropped first try.

Ashighttur, Lvl 45 Feral Druid.
Maelstrom Server.

Wasn't difficult, I stealthed back to Doan, I never even had to leave Cat Form. Resisted most of his spells, and he didn't hit me for more than 20 damage per.

Quick and simple, haven't gotten to see it proc yet, but I can't wait.

Kommentar von popeguilty

Would this be as awesome for AoE Prot Paladins as I think?

Kommentar von 162789

I recon thats a very good twink ring suitable for all classes

Kommentar von 65503

Just got mine to day.

Nice Hp and a good proc rate i had a mage in my party so i could never tell if it when off.

Looks like frost nova.

Kommentar von aliatross

Got it for my lvl 29 holy palla twink. Im so excited to get to know its proc. Got it at 7th trie boosted by 70 retri palla. Boosting my hunter friend to it tomorrow.

Kommentar von Kalx

I got this on a run to the library today, and, unlucky as I am, it was on the PTR...

Kommentar von aliatross

Confirm Good drop. My hunter friend got it at 5th try. On SW Cartel this item is used by many twinks. So guess its not something to rare.

Kommentar von 231122

I farmed 2 of these in an hour for both myself and my boyfriend's twinks using the technique described by Neverlife, which took roughly 3 mins per instance reset.

That said, I think we were using our chinese gold farmer racials.

Wild Bill Hickock was notorious and he murdered many folk. To my understanding the man who shot Wild Bill Hickock was shot 2 years later by a bartender. The Bartender was then arrested for several months.

Kommentar von ltc3

yeah im making a 29 ambush crit rogue and i wanted full agility and thought this would prolly be better than 6agility ring cause i ca ambush run away if they freeze and maybe get another ambush in

Kommentar von ryanred500

I got this on my first boost on my warr, sooooooooo lucky :P my mate who boosted me went through about 17 runs to get it for his mate and it never dropped so it must be very low drop rate but still possible to get, great for twinks.

Kommentar von sazi

I can't believe how lucky I am..... I just 'finished' my twink 2 days ago, and decided today to try and get this, with some help from a friend.

So i ran in, and waited for my friend to arrive. I committed suicide at the 1st mobs, and my paladin-friend ran and pulled the boss and the whole instance to my corpse and nuked'em all. He looted the boss, and there it was alongside with the mantle.

-1st run i tried, and also the very 1st time i've ever seen it drop... -and i've done coutless SM's in my time.

Kommentar von Bullfred

Dropped today on my shammy Pwnshock.

Kommentar von 169906

noob question but would this be consider a incapitate or stun for http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=20375

cus the extra crit without using hammer would be awesome for my 29 twink

Kommentar von 233333

I was just geting runs from this 80 warr me being a 27 pally and it was the 1st time we did this 1 so we did it, it droped and i got it :D

Kommentar von Seniath

I decided to farm Strat for the Deathcharger (so my Human DK can have a 'proper' Death Knight mount). Up to 90 runs now, still no luck.

Anyway, randomly ran SM-Lib tonight, for the key, and this dropped. Approx. same drop chance. Where's the justice?

Kommentar von Fishrule

Easy way to get this without getting XP, is to make your group a raid.

Kommentar von 99379

Drop rate for me when i ran Lib was low was like my 18th time and close to me giving up when it decided it was time to drop

Kommentar von 290685

I just got this on my lvl 37 pally. My mob info says that ive killed him 17 times.

Kommentar von HORRYSCHMOKES

Quite possibly the best ring for a 39 Druid.

Coupled with http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=16689 and http://www.wowhead.com/?item=7375 you will constantly find yourself escaping from very dangerous situations, as there are quite a few rogues in that bracket (GOFIGURE).

As any decent 39 druid will have a healer/oomkin and FC set, having a ring that gives you the most Stam in the bracket as well as a chance to root any threat on you can only be good news. Numerous times I've been opened by a rogue only for him to get rooted and for me to trink/travel to freedom. One time a rogue even blew sprint to catch me proceeded to hit me, then promptly fell asleep, just as 3-6 of my allies came over the hill.

THe Green Whelp Armor/Nature's Grasp/Deadman's Hand gear combo is invaluable as a 39 druid. Use it wisely.

Kommentar von 185930

Proof that Blizzard really do love us twinks.

Kommentar von magge97

I went in to lib, my first run with me (35 pally), 34 Priest, 58 DK, 37 Warrior and a 35 Shammy.

We went through the whole instance, I dinged right after Loksley, then we killed Doan, he dropped the and everyone was like "WTF?", Almost everyone rolled need, I rolled a 92, and I got the ring! First time I ever see that ring drop. (Well, actually first time I see it in game)

Kommentar von 295855

I didn't know anything about this, but this was the first epic I saw when I ran here for my tank warrior.I was shock to see this to be honest, was like my eyes were wipe open lol. First epic I saw for this level and I won it in the roll, we all greed except the healer though

Kommentar von 299490

helping get this on my friends 29 ele shammy, and boy is it fun >_<
i seriously think it should drop a hell of a lot more. :S

Kommentar von ammo

In case anyone cares this is the lowest level epic

Kommentar von Regigo

Was farming for this and the Torturing Poker from Graveyard, went first to Graveyard, then Library and then reset, back to Graveyard then Library and reset. Took me less than 10 to get Deadman's Hand, and about 20 to get the Torturing Poker. Now going more in Graveyard to get a second Torturing Poker, but from my experience the ring isn't too rare to get. You can get it in 1-2 hours probably with 80 char who can aoe the mobs down i.e. Paladin/DK (since they have high armor and good HP by default)

I went this with DK, in Graveyard I just leave my twink on the door, then I go and Death Grip Interrogator Vishas, kill it and loot it. Then I go to Library, pull ~3/4 of the mobs to the room just before Arcanist Doan and aoe them down with Death and Decay, then I just bodypull Arcanist Doan without dealing any damage and run down to the door and kill it there, loot and go out. Group Loot on at all times.

Kommentar von Leleko

The drop is clear luck!Got it on my first character (warrior) the 1st time I went on Sm while a lvl 70 friend was boosting me.That was before the release of WotlK.Since then I ve been around 50-60 times there but hasnt drop again...

For a paladin, it can be useful to slay ever-spinning rogues.

Dropped after 7 runs on my rogue. Now running it for my lock and it's been over 30 and still no drop. I actually checked back here to make sure it was still on the loot table...

Kommentar von 262723

best ring for 29 bracket.

Kommentar von 344544

I just got it on my frost mage. It's pretty nice cause I do more DMG to frozen targets and this ring has a chance to freeze the target. It gives nice stamina as well.

Kommentar von Santee

I'm trying to get this for my level 29 paladin reb. twink. Think the drop chance of 2% is pretty fair, and the percentage given by wow-armory is weird in my opinion: 3 - 14%. It can't be higher than 10%, that would be to easy obtainable for a twink. I done this instance for 15 times now and got nothing, but I think it will take about 1,5 week farming this one 20x a day to get it :/ But will be worth it, not as good stats as some other rings, but rooting someone for 3 seconds it awesome :)

Kommentar von 350774

I think this ring is an awesome item, cuz of the lvl it is for, however there is really no use farming it, cuz u can get even a better ring at last boss in uldaman. The freezing ability is quite nice though, It came to use when I had it on my rogue. besides it is very nice to walk around with an epic equiped lol :P

Kommentar von TriesteHunter

52 runs so far and no ring... not an exaggeration, I have kept track so I could make a credible post. Good luck.

Kommentar von Santee

Ok got it in the 25th time doing it, so I guess for me a 4% drop chance is reliable, but it's just a good shot of luck :/

Kommentar von ares0027

i start farming at lvl 28 and i was 36 when i get it :) so you do the math

Kommentar von 357702

The drop chance of this ring is roughly 3%.

The Arcanist Doan kills listed on wowhead include a lot of kills from the time before Deadman's hand could drop. So, the drop chance listed is essentially incorrect. I compared the previous ring drop statistics to the updated ones:
25333 kills/518 rings
25633 kills/527 rings

Therefore 9 rings dropped on the last 300 kills = 3% drop chance. This can still change a lot, since 9 drops is next to nothing, but probably a better estimate than 2%.

Kommentar von fiote

Good for PvE tanking if your group are low on snare/slow effects, to prevent runners.

Kommentar von Taif

For people interested in probability I'll give a short break down:
Chance to proc a freeze effect...
on the 5th hit - 22.62%
on the 10th hit - 40.13%
on the 15th hit - 53.67%
on the 20th hit - 64.15%
on the 25th hit - 72.26%
on the 30th hit - 78.54%

Not going to go on any further,
1-(.95^x) with x as the number of hits you want to see, that's your probability if you want to continue it for yourselves.

Got this ring on my first run in SM on my paladin. Was pretty impressed. Ran it with other characters and never saw it drop.

Kommentar von Renikor

A great ring, just dropped for my priest today off of Arcanist Doan, I found myself jumping around the room screaming "AFTER FIVE YEARS OF GAMEPLAY I ACHIEVED THE RING!" My cousin on the phone dared question my judgement.

Kommentar von DrTann3r

Omg...that picture...

Goatse.

This ring dropped today for me level 33 prot. spec warrior and I won it, funny thing is...my group other then my huntard friend was REALLY bad and even caused us to wipe once, but the run paid off and I got the ring. : D it like never proc's but the stam. is always nice. plus, its an epic so it works... : D

Kommentar von 339146

as a lv 80 i still use this ring =)
love to use it in stock/deadmines/ZF heck i have even used this duels!
very nice ring.
proc is very high even at 80 thats if u compare it with freezing band

Kommentar von Biftard

just got this little b*tch tonight after around 40 runs.

so i read a post today - a guy said he had opened a ticket and asked if the ring was still on doan's loot table, since he'd done lotsa runs with no drop. the gm comfirmed that it was in fact still there. so then the guy happened to get it on his next run.

yeah, mkay, so me, im thinkin "the fu@#ing gm PUT it there!" (that or this poster is full of sh*t)

so first run today, while i was waiting outside the instance, waiting for my buddy to clear up to boss, i opened a ticket and just said i'd been farming it for months and please confirm it's still on his loot table. just very polite and simple question. i did not chat with a gm and i deleted the ticket 20 minutes later because

the ring dropped on for me on the very next run after that O.O

Just got mine today

Kommentar von goomba

Just had it drop on my first attempt. I was running my twink-to-be hoping to get http://www.wowhead.com/?item=7756 but they didn't drop, so I thought I'd try for the ring for *!@#z n giggles and it dropped.

Kommentar von MissDarkness

We bloody got it on first attempt!

A friend lvl 80hunter ran in front and cleared the way, I ran after and he killed the boss.
And there it was!

My twink is so OP now ^^

And I'm so excited :D

Kommentar von Postmannen

After patch 3.2 this is extremely easy to get for a twink. It does matter (previously does not matter) where the twink is, as you can simply trade the ring to the twink after looting it. Simply run straigt to Doan, kill him, loot and trade if you got the ring. As a lvl 65 blood/unholy (for rune tap and the other talents) DK I can kill Doan every 1-3 minute (will edit when I got a stopwatch) which makes for some extremely fast farming. The only thing that makes this difficult to get now is bad luck and "You have entered too many instances recently". If you get the too many instances thingy, simply switch booster/twink. Also, try to get this relatively early because in the evening you will most likely be stuck on "additional instances cannot be launched" for a while at least if you're playing on EU.

Edit: Let the twink just go down the stairs or something and s/he should be able to get the loot.

Kommentar von 425131

well, a friend of mine was boosting me trough sm lib, and i wanted the wand that boss drops, but i got the ring.
So, we went a rerun, and guesss what! the ring drops again :P

Kommentar von 354123

This dropped for me today and i literally nerd screamed. Everyone in the group did greed before need except for the newb pally who ninja'd it...FML

Edit: Turns out the pally really was a newb....i just bought it of him for 50 gold!

Kommentar von 122037

Just got this on my 29 hunter won it over a 34 warrior 38 sham and a 33 mage :D

Kommentar von 408047

Hehe i feel really lucky , i just got boosted on my druid 31lvl to SM Lib and boom 1st kill and i got the ring :))) Iam very happy !
Good luck!

Kommentar von 227326

this ring is very good but very very low drop rate..

Kommentar von 423555

With the new LFD system, this ring is unremarkable. The +10 stam I can get from other rings, like Dragonclaw Ring from the escort quest in RFD, or a Aquamarine Signet / Tumultuous Ring with the proper enchantment.
The random root proc is really annoying and always pops at the wrong moment for me, like when I'm trying to position mobs or drag them away from another group or pat. ANNOYING!

Kommentar von mikael11

I just played Library for the key, And it dropped! I was like: Omg! Then I remembered it was BoP Got sadpanda :( Well! One thing to say: Im a lucky bastard! I bet I'll get use of the freeze even tough I'm a Death Knight

Kommentar von 536662

My, hunter got this a long time ago :) everyone asks me where i got it =D
But, really cool ring....
:)

Kommentar von 298390

I have just been traded that ring from a Druid in the group who needed it.

Being a tank, this ring is a definite upgrade over other items available to me; it even prevents mobs from running away, in the case they actually do ever "run away in fear".

I love it =)

Kommentar von 447634

I got this today, some druid healer started trying to argue with me about giving it him because he thought he was a better tank even though he decided to go healer :P And when he went into bear form i still had better stats then him.
He started shouting its a tanking ring and I just said wtf how come im tank and your healer then.

Kommentar von 560858

last seen 16.3.2010! This was second time I heard it dropped, last time was last night ;O

Kommentar von Hyperlynx

As of 3.2 experience earning can be turned off (for a price) so this tactic is no longer necessary.

True, but this method is still faster than a normal runthrough.

Kommentar von 435011

It dropped for me on fourth run, fairly easy. Guess I'm lucky. Don't give up, it's a nice ring and will drop eventually.

Kommentar von 578006

"GOD DAMNIT DUNKER YOU NINJA LOOTED MY RING!"

Kommentar von 570988

I dropped this ring Twice within 6 runs, so i told a twink friend to come on over for this nice ring, we did it 20 times and no drop =(.

Kommentar von 616918

i ran library for the first time on my warrior tank and the ring dropped. i was stoked cause i had no idea he dropped an epic and a nice one at tht. but whn i needed it i saw tht every1 else had needed it. my group consisted of a priest, mage, lock, and rogue. well turns out the mage got it. tht ring would of been nice for me...the tank but no somebody should focus on int and spell power got it instead. sum people jus make me mad

Kommentar von HandsomeJack

This and the Dragonclaw ring(Drachenklauenring), stacks stam really well for a Warrior or Paladin. Hunters don't need it considering the whole range aspect, Shaman, Warlocks, Priests and Mages, have zero need for this, and Rogues shouldn't worry about freezing an attacker when you have sap and stun lock. I'm noticing a lot of people "want" more than they actually need an item, which makes for tons of Facepalms in game.

Let the tank get this one, the 10+ stam isn't too bad, I know the proc and the fact that its purple make people go "ZOMG PURPLES", but if it was blue it wouldn't get that much fame. To all the twink rogues that have this....you're a twink...and a bad one at that if you "need" this.

Kommentar von Skulduggery

Me and my friends were quite lucky. I was running them through Library/Cathedral/Graveyard Reset. Well after about 5 runs, there it was. Deadman's hand. I guess we got really lucky with it .

Kommentar von 637495

Yeah i ran it for the first time and it dropped, but EVERYONE frickin' needed it, and of course, the tank doesnt get it -_-

Kommentar von 700511

So, no one really said it yet, but this ring is excellent for low-level tanks with terrible luck from the loot-sacks. Everyone has been talking about the on-struck effect, but no one about the +10 stamina, which (at a low level) is pretty good for a tank. Even then, just talking about the effect, look at where it drops: Scarlet Monastery. A place infamous for mobs that like to run away from you and find friends. Anything that will keep a few from running away for even a couple seconds is gonna help any tank.
tl;dr: PvP utility? Massive. Tanking utility? More situational on the effect, BUT the stamina makes it more than awesome in the level range one would expect to find this.

it dropped on my first run through the library on my pally ^_^ i think its good tank ring or dps. mostly dps so that you have a chance to freeze sumthing thats attacking you

Kommentar von Fizzlerocket

Just had this ring drop on my first random dungeon run with my guild. Needless to say me and my hunter guildie needed. But I won. Unfortunately this isn't that great anymore, considering the X of the X items. I did one battleground with this on, and it only procced once. Poor.

Kommentar von Angxia

This just dropped for me the first time ever on my elemental shaman. Considering i do much pvp, i decided to need this ring. Much to my surprise the only one in the 5 man group of mine that needed it aswell as me was the hunter in the group. I won it and since then it has saved me a couple of times in bg's from them nasty rogues ;)

Kommentar von Melilithia

Funny... the first time (and only) time I've seen this drop was watching someone streaming their SM run...

Kommentar von 381677

Just got this on my hunter alt, the others in the group were not too happy :P

Kommentar von Mistro

This ring is excellent for any class that plans to PvP, despite how people may argue against it. It is also great for pet classes because the effect can proc for your pet as well. PvE uses are limited, but it is nice for Dungeon Finder survivability because not all groups are created equal. Aside from that, its probably the first epic you'll come across, so why not let everyone have their fair roll at it :) ?

Kommentar von Balkoth

In random dungeon finder, almost everyone need rolls on this just for the hell of it. Even caster dps and healers.
Nobody seems to care that it's for tanks. I highly doubt that would be the case if the ring was blue. :(

Kommentar von Argiach

You can find how to obtain this and other epic items from Classic Dungeons here:Guide to all Epic Items in Classic WoW Dungeons

Kommentar von 941889

This ring is a tank ring, but it is more so a PvP ring for EVERY class.

This ring is highly sought by level 29 twinks of all classes! The freeze is just too good.

Kommentar von Sunsetter

Wonder if this item will be removed from the loot table when Mists arrives and Scarlet Monastery gets a revamp?

Kommentar von leon7421

This is equally overpowered in MW3.

Kommentar von Karvex

Well, as a Druid tank I was stoked to see this drop. At the time I was level 33 and I had no rings. The +10 stamina buff was great and the extra proc was just an addition to the awesomeness. Then a shadow priest needed on it and won.

Kommentar von Sharkon

Library, Doan
See him there
Under books
In their nooks
Seems that he
Has no hair
Hey he's dead
Check his loot

With his freeze ring I will kite the world
With his freeze ring I will find the time to type the words to

Tell you how
How you fail
So hardcore
What's the phrase

Like a noob
Kinda weak
Keyboard turns
Anyways

With his freeze ring I will kite away
It's not a stat stick or a tank ring
They don't need to kite
I just think you're not thinking right

'cause I'm the guy to use it best
A squishier dude than all the rest
I'll Blink away after it procs
And then free-cast because I rock

That's the plan
Run away
From the mobs
And melee

With his freeze ring I will stop...

Kommentar von 884456

Damn, is this unavailable now with the new MoP patch? Just started making my 29 rogue... :/

Kommentar von 137218

This item is no longer available.

Kommentar von Triforceelf

As of Mists, this ring has been taken from the loot tables as Archanist Doan no longer exists.

Kommentar von giantgrape

formerly the lowest lvl epic in the game. another relic now along with several others nolonger obtainable.

Kommentar von jagarock

a shame they remove such things as this.
rare items is one of the reasons why it is fun to make a twink.
i have it on 5x oldschool 29ers, so im lucky, but now 29 is back and many wont be able to get this.

Kommentar von jrs9777

I still have this on my lock. I love bringing it out and people are like "wtf is that"

Kommentar von Sibbemannen99

Ah the memories of this ring, had it on my old account on my hunter until like level 50-60. Such a good item. Btw didn't this drop in old scarlet crusade before cata?
Btw is would be cool if you could buy it on the black market.

Kommentar von CurbHunter

Figured I'd might as well share my most recent go with this little fella. I haven't played for a little while now and haven't tested it out in legion so don't have more recent experiences.

I decided to pull this thing from the vault during Warlords of Draenor and give it a go on my prot warrior in PvP for fun and see if it actually would still work. Well it did a lot better than work and Blizzard must have screwed something up with the coding for the item's proc rate as it everything that hit me had around a 50% chance of being frozen.

I initially tried the proc rate on some boars outside of the garrison in frostfire ridge for fun and the smaller boars were almost permanently frozen so it must affect lower levels significantly more.

I have no proof since I didn't bother recording at the time but a hunter used multishot on me and was frozen 8 times throughout the multishot and I slowly proceeded to just waltz up without charge and take care of him with ease as evertime he'd poke and run he'd only move a few feet before getting frozen again (On temple of Kotmogu).

I continued to use it and was playing a game of Deepwind Gorge going solo for the payload and I got caught by a rogue and monk(?) who also proceeded to get frozen approximately 6 times each during the fight before I went down. I sat there and watched after the fight before hitting release and they both just stood there dumbfounded for approximately 10 seconds before going on with the battleground. I'm sure they've hotfixed it by now seeing as Legion has been out for quite some time now but those games were the most fun I've had in WoW for a long time as it was hilarious watching the proc rate soar through the sky.

I still have it equipped and but not subscribed right now so can't test it. Just figured I'd share my little story here. If you have a build of WoD you can certainly test it out for yourself or maybe they haven't fixed it but good luck with it!

Edit (Patch 8.1): Just resubbed and actually recorded a little bit, this time including Donnerzorn, Gesegnete Klinge des Windsuchers. Results were pretty comparable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6RSnS3S3_4

Will try them both in PvP soon.

Kommentar von transmogfarmer

It’s a shame they removed this, I still have it on my old vanilla 29 that is now sitting at level 60. With the new item scaling the freezing band can scale up to 60 if you’re lucky enough to find it. A good replacement I’d say.

Kommentar von elstohn

does this still proc? with the level squish i find my old lvl 40s are back in the 19s bracket. the ring doesnt grey out in Battleground, but ive yet to see it proc in combat.

Kommentar von GrotesqUwU

Deadman's Hand is obtainable once more. (Especially valuable for collectors and twinks)
https://imgur.com/a/0fqfBCz <- proof
The way this can be done by entering the Old Scarlet Monastery (duh..) and the way you do it is via obtaining which once in your bag you have to enter the monastery (non-instanced) and you will notice a key-chain that will also be marked on your map the first time you click it because it gives you a quest that will require your newly obtained Scarlet Key,
as for this key there 3 simple methods to obtain:
Method 1: Key drops from the Loot Filled Pumpkin that you get after killing the Headless Horseman in LFG. You get bonus drop chance for the key and for the mount the first kill each day if you do it on "Hardmode". The way you enable said "Hardmode" is via speaking to the middle drustvar statue in the same room where the fight happens BEFORE you summon him.
Method 2: Action House - prices range from 10k- 50k.
Method 3: Friends. If any of your friends have the key they can run you through the old version of Scarlet Monastery: Library, after killing the final boss you can loot the key from the box in the last room.
Bonus instructions:
Once you have the key and completed the quest you can go back to the key-chain at any given time to change from old version to new version and vice versa. You will receive a buff that has the same icon as the key, this marks that the next time you enter any of the 4 SM portals, you will be entering the vanilla version.

Bonus gold cheese for those who red this far:
While you're running Scarlet Library, at the end of the last room where the last boss is you can still loot the key which has 100% drop chance from the box there and put it in the action house for some extra gold while you at it grinding whatever you're grinding.

Kommentar von aoex

Why doesnt blizzard increase the ilvl based on player level like they do with the blues that drop in the various legacy dungeons including this one ?
That would be a huge win for the twink community
