Unlike some special effect weapons of the past, Ashkandur retains full stat budget, suggesting the special effect won’t be too powerful.
Ashkandur, Fall of the Brotherhood is the third incarnation of the popular Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood from Blackwing Lair and Reclaimed Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood from Blackwing Descent, with six datamined colorations that can be seen in our previous highlight. It’s interesting to note that unlike powerful special effect weapons of the past like Jaithys, the Prison Blade and Gavel of the First Arbiter, Ashkandur appears to retain full primary and secondary stat budget, suggesting that the special effect won’t be overwhelmingly powerful – as Blizzard typically removes stats to compensate when an effect is inordinately strong.
Although there are only four raid difficulties, we’ve datamined six different color variants for the sword.
In addition to the sword, we’ve also datamined several placeholder cantrip effects referencing an as-of-yet unnamed Agility Polearm, 10.1 Raid – Black Dragon Labs – Boss 05 – Djaradin Elder – Weapon – 2H Polearm AGI, indicating that it will also have a special effect.
The special effect associated with this Polearm is not yet implemented.
