I picked up this Dagger for 50g over the Gut Ripper (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=2164) which was 100g. This doesn't do quite as much extra damage, and you need 6 extra levels to use it, but that's not really a problem if you're doing Battlegrounds, which is normally high-40s. Its also MH only...which I sort of didn't like. But I have it paired with the level 48 Scout's Blade (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=19543). Also got a +4 Weapon Damage on this, and a Fiery on the Scout's Blade. It looks decently nice and has the highest top-end of any non-quest Dagger in the 40-49 bracket.

did ANYONE but me notice how this daggers speed, dps, and dmg are exactly the same as gutrippers? only the proc is different, idk why people pay 300-400g for a gutripper when they can have this for 40g-60g? some people are just retarted

Comment by Thottbot

So as of the 1.8 patch, which of these daggers actually does more dmg, specifically with bs, and ambush? And if you're lvl 46, would searing needle be a better value since it usually sells in the ah for less than widowmaker?

Comment by Thottbot

Usually that dagger sells for about 50-60 gold, but I got it for 35 when a guy was desperate to sell it. Lucky for me!

Comment by Thottbot

On Earthenring this thing cost about 60g >.< anyone want to sell it to me for cheaper :D?

Comment by Thottbot

This dagger could be quite useful for a shaman if he used flametongue.

It might also stack with searing totem which is our most mana efficient damage already (except melee) and the flameshock dot.

Comment by Thottbot

It's perfect! With immolate, firestone, firey enchant and a machinegun imp, this will make a difference. If it adds fire dmg on all procs and fire spells, I'm a happy evil gnome :D

Comment by Thottbot

..that ill also use some good dragonbreath chili, Heart of Wyrmthalak, Heart of the scale and of course my imp's fire shield

Comment by Thottbot

I got this for 6G from a Warrior that had been trying to sell it for days. She was happy to get rid of it. :D

At level 49, I hope to be be weilding this Searing Needle in my mainhand, and the Shadowblade in my offhand. I have both weapons, and all the mats for 2x fierys. I've read a few previous posts and people have said that the fiery proc doesn't get boosed from the Searing Needle proc... that makes no sense! Has that been changed in 2.0? Or will it be changed later? If it is indeed the case that the fiery proc wont get boosted ever, what weps should I use at 49? As I said, I already have this and the Shadowblade. They both seem nice... What am I do to do!

Hahaha some guy sold this to me for 8g last night...

Comment by Thottbot

this is a great ambush dag. and when paired up with Shadowblade is insane dps. i highly recomend getting this as a main hand for rogue.

Comment by Allakhazam

Picked one of these up off some random mob in BRD. Now if only I could find someone who wants it!

Comment by Allakhazam

The dps is fine, proc sucks but who cares? So does the shankers proc... If you're lvl 46 and dont have a widowmaker buy this one instead, realy great dagger.

Comment by Allakhazam

Just got this dagger and put a +4 weapon damage enhant cant w8 to use it at lvl 46 :D i think its much better than widowmaker who cares about the proc its got more dps

Comment by Allakhazam

Dropped off a fireguard in brd, that was patrolling.

Comment by Allakhazam

Best main hand dagger for lvl 46. Not even the epic Shadowblade is as good in main hand as this one, and Searing Needle has the same damage as Gut ripper.

If u compare the prices, this is rly rly rly the best buy option. My twink has it ^^

Comment by Allakhazam

Nice, slow backstab speed. But considering the level, DPS, and terrible proc, I'm having a hard time figuring out why anyone would buy this.

Comment by Allakhazam

This proc goes great with Helm of Fire, and with the enchant you get from the quest inBadlands(Alliance only I think)

Comment by Allakhazam

I've seen this baby proc 3 times in a row and all in all 1 proc every ~10 hits. The 30 sek debuff doesnt work for the proc itself but thats not a point.

There is a crit chance of nearly 1% pushing it to 90 dmg -> 61-62 avg dmg.

Dps doesnt matter because this is a mainhand dagger which needs slow speed(best speedincrease by skilluse) and a high hitdmg(slow speed -> high hitdmg + higher hitdmgincrease per ap!)

Because of this the dagger can be used +10 lvls of req.

Comment by Allakhazam

When this thing procs, would'nt it be awesome to have fiery enchantment on it? Cause of the "...increases
damage done to target by Fire damage by 10 for 30
seconds." ?

Comment by Allakhazam

I have this dagger in my main hand, and a bonescraper in my off, both have firey encahnts and lemme tell you, that proc does not suck... my firey encahnts proc 50% of the time and the increased fire damage only makes the firey do an additional +10

so fiqure this out, firey 40dmg +10dmg +poison 110dmg +dmg average 61 = 221 per hit

221 dmg per hit... sinister strike around 300ish now depending on spec/gear you can hit for around 200-400 crit on melee as a rogue, it doesnt get much better

Comment by Stridsberg

Has anyone actually tested the proc?

I tried it on my lv 50 shaman and the damage increase didn't work with Searing Totem, Flame Shock or Flametongue Weapon.

Comment by GideonAI

I got 27 "Searing Blasts" from 1,028 basic auto-attacks. Roughly translates to a 3% chance-on-hit (or 1 PPM), with 1 crit that probably translates to a built-in 5% crit chance, which dealt exactly 1.5x of base damage. The resulting added average dps is +1, which can increase if you're using any "extra attack" abilities like Windfury or Sinister Strike. I also tested with 100 +Spell Damage equipped, and there was no change in the amount of damage dealt. As a Priest, I can't test much, but the debuff should act the same as +10 Fire Damage from gear and so should only affect Fire abilities that have a scaling coefficient. At least, that's how other +Damage debuffs work, such as the Paladin's Judgment of the Crusader.

Comment by taeynn

I can confirm that Searing Needle's proc does not affect the damage of itself nor the damage of the Fiery enchant. After debuffing the target, the damage stays at 60 and 40, respectively.
