Alcor's Sunrazor

Nice offhand for MC with the 10 FR.

Sadly, this dagger has no place. These 2 slots you don't want to change for resists (on a rogue) are the weapons. Not only is this item usually over priced, but it never lives up to expectations. 10 FR is not worth the stat loss of (lets say) Corehound Tooth. It's too fast to make a good mainhand, and the proc/stat composition makes it a weak offhand.

Save your money.

Man, this comment didn't age well. Every tank will want this come Classic!

I think this weapon will be really good come 2.0 because of the new talent Combat Potency. You need a really fast dagger (preferabily 1.3) in order to gain enough energy. So get this dagger with 5 points in Combat Potency.

The best use for Alcor's would be an offhand for a SS or Hemo rogue. The 1.3 speed, being the fastest in game, gives this dagger a much higher chance to apply poisons via the offhand. A poisons build rogue with the Alcor's for an offhand would be very deadly with the amount of poison procs hitting the target.

There are two other weapons in the game with 1.30 speed. They are both daggers.

Although this is one of the fastest daggers in the game, I have to disagree that it's viable for a rogue. Generally, there are just too many offhand daggers out there with MUCH better stats and are still pretty fast. If you're in any kind of raiding guild, I definately would not bother buying this. I agree with the poster that said the 10 FR just isn't worth it. Even if your build relied heavily on poisons, I don't think the small speed difference would have a large enough effect on your poison procs to make this weapon worth it. If you weren't in a raiding guild, I'd probably go with something like bonescraper: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=13368 It may have less dps, but it has good stats, is pretty fast, and doesn't cost money.

This item is useful as probably an offhand in Molten Core for the +10 Fire Resistance.

If you find one that drops, good for you. However, anyone who wants to buy it, if it is placed for more than 200g, I would not buy it. I have seen it for 1200g, it is just simply not worth it.

Not sure what the odds are on this, but just snagged this on my rogue off a [url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=16885]Heavy Junkbox[/url] pickpocketed from an [url=http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=19261]Infernal Warbringer[/url]. I was, to put it mildly, stunned.

Alcor is a Blood Elf currently being trained in Murder Row in Silvermoon City. He is a rogue.

this is a pretty good fire resistance daggers.

Actually, this is probably a reference not to that npc, but rather Alcor the Alchemist in Diablo 2.

Necroing for interest. Just found this dagger in a [url=http://www.wowhead.com/item=16885]Heavy Junkbox[/url]

In the days before the windfury nerf this was a mean dagger.

I remember back pre-TBC, our MT for MC used this dagger for quite some time. Rather strange weapon for a tank, but he used it and did a good job with it. Kinda of an odd site to see a tank with a dagger...especially one that isn't that great

Most definitely due to the Fire Resist. Especially with Ragnaros only hitting for fire damage opposed to melee.

Responding to a post somebody made months ago, yeah. But anyway this was a great tanking weapon, not only because of the fire resist, but because of the speed. Back in the pre-BC days you got the majority of your threat from sunders and heroic strike. Heroic Strike was very important for aggro back then, which is why this weapon was great for tanking. It was super fast, which meant more heroic strikes.

yes, you're probably referring to Zent :p

I completely agree!

Currently the fastest weapon that can be acquired by players.

This is wrong. As there's also plently of other 1.3 speed daggers.

worng this is the fastest DAGGER in game. search it and you will find it.

1.3 speed is the fastest weapon available to players, and there are very few of those. This happens to be one of them. Everything else is nit-picking, or not looking deep enough.

Now with the poison proc change this item is worse than before

This is another of those 'Can be found in lockboxes' items. I managed to pick one up while Heavy Junkbox grinding for reputation. As the Wowhead looter didn't work for me for some time, I haven't got it installed to add to the 'dropped by', unfortunately. :(

Confirmed and still working. Got this weapon from a Heavy Junkbox while doing random dungeons.

Just had this drop for me from Qiraji Swarmguard(i think, i just killed a lot of things in a pile). Looks pretty rare from the drop % listed here.

Five years later, it looks like I am the THIRD running the looter to get this from a junkbox, out of almost 50k boxes. o.O I will def have to upload tonight.

note: i got this from Heavy Junkbox :D

Dunno why my comment was downrated,but u can now see that is "cointained" in the heavy junkboxes :)

I have been farm Heavy Lockboxes for someone for their achievement. Out of the 400 I have done so far I have yielded Star Rubys and 1 Alcor's Sunrazor. Nothing else fancy yet ;)

This weapon would be good for Rogue ☺ ☼☼☺5☺5151555151♣1♣15☺5☼55☺55☺5☺

Found it today in a Heavy Junkbox whit my rogue. I was very lucky.

The stats on the following [item=14555] as showen above are outdated. I just saw this dagger in the AH and checked WoWHead for further info.  I was surprised to see that at some point Blizzard must have altered the stats on this dagger.

I've taken a screenshot via the Mobile Armory and when I transfer it to my PC I'll submit it.  The current stats are as follows:

[item=14555] BoE One Hand Dagger Speed - 1.30 Dmg - 44-77 (45.4 DPS) Durability - 75/75 Required Level - 58 Item Level - 63 Blasts a target for 90 Damage

When the two are compared the changes are obvious.  The fire resistance has been removed and the amount of fire dmg is fixed at a static +90 dmg as opposed to ranging from 75-105. +90 dmg being exactly inbetween the aforementioned range would on average not change the dmg output of this proc, over the long haul, when all the mean of a few hundred procs using the old range would average out to be about +90 dmg. Everything else has remained the same.

Seems odd that Blizzard would nerf an already "so so" epic?  A low level Epic, that even in it's heyday, was considered not worth the money and much better items could be obtained quite easily.

But at second glance, there was a KEY change in how that damage was applied.  Note the old description "Chance on Hit:......". The new description states:

"Blasts a target for 90 Damage" This may mean nothing and it's still a % chance of proc per hit, or could it be per hit? Would seem overpowered if the effect was not proc based.

Slapping a [item=38838] would make a nice low level flame blade of death!

Behold the dagger of Flaming Death!

(Warning:  Blizzard cannot be held responsible for burns or spontaneous human combustion while handling this dagger.  It is advisable to use the enclosed oven mitts to reduce fire dmg.)

Edited: after viewing the downratings I started to doubt my above new itemization, so when I saw it a second time I closely compared my stats to above stats, thinking I'd made a mistake, which I had not, posting picture of item now.

Just confused as to why my post is being down rated, the stats for this item are 100% correct. There is currently another one of these items in the AH and the stats are exactly as I've stated. I'm simply trying to inform people about the correct itemization for this weapon. I can garuntee that whoever down rated me has not seen this item post patch 4.3, or if they did they did not examine the stats correctly. I will personally cut out my still beating heart, I'm wrong. Now that I've seen it twice, I'm absolutely confident. I'm going to post a picture of said item now.

Screen Shot has been submitted, after review it should be added. Please before down rating a comment that has correct information that is attempting to improve WoWHead's Website, actually take the time to discover you are wrong about your assumptions, before mindlessly clicking a button.

I uploaded my pic a few days ago, and it has yet to appear. Please, if anyone else sees this on the AH can you confirm what I've posted is correct, I swear on my life that the above stats are now the correct ones on this dagger. Please help me correct the inaccurate stat info on this dagger as it appears. I'm only trying to provide more accurate data by informing others as to the actual in-game stats of this weapon post patch 4.3.

I just saw this in the AH, and I think you are incorrect about more than a few things. The fire resistance is still on the weapon. The Dmg is 41 - 77, and the DPS is 45.6. Also, it's still Chance on hit. I came here to look up this weapon because it's 100g on Uldum server, Alliance side. I was curious about it. I'm sorry if you thought you were right. I thought you were too until I inspected the weapon a bit further.

Agree with Teeny, just had this drop today (Aug 22, 2012) and the stats are what Teeny says they are,

Say it ain't so, disenchanted 33 times! All they wanted was a happy home, instead you guys crushed there dreams. I hope you're happy with yourselves.

Fun fact: In the Wheel of Time's fictional language, the old tongue, Alcor means "The Night".

+1 for the WoT reference!

sigh, i got this item 3 times, from junkbox while i was farming them for Teebu's Blazing Longsword and rep. apparently it's rarer than Teebu's Blazing Longsword but why cant i get the damn sword. this is frustrating as hell.

I am confused as to why this has a banana icon in the WoD database.

In WoD this item can drop from salvage boxes, obtained by misions (if you have a salvage yard built).

Dropped in [zone=3429] off of [npc=15324]

This dropped after 32 runs of Molten Core. There is no 'good' or 'right' way to farm these with any success other than using the Auction House, but for those doing self-found or wanting to farm it personally, you just gotta pick a spot and kill. Might take 5 runs, might take 500, there is no promise. You should hunt other things to keep from going insane or take breaks. I truly wish you the best of luck.
