Rollin' Stones...

So Blizz is finally getting around to looking at our stones. Since it is all speculation I thought I'd throw an idea into the hat.

Master Firestone
Conjured Item
Binds when picked up
Unique
Relic Ammo
Equip: Enchants the main hand weapon your wand with fire, granting each attack a chance to deal 116 to 174 additional fire damage.
Equip: Increases damage done by Fire spells and effects by up to 30.

Granted not a huge change but one I can see actually being useful. Then again I would probably go a step further and split the Spellstone abilities among the Firestone and Healthstones and create a new Shadowstone in it's place.

So the new Master Firestone would look like:

Master Firestone
Conjured Item
Binds when picked up
Unique
Ammo
Equip: Enchants your wand with fire, granting each attack a chance to deal 116 to 174 additional fire damage.
Equip: Increases damage done by Fire spells and effects by up to 30.
Equip: Improves your fire spell critical strike rating by 20.

The new Master Healthstone would look like:

Master Healthstone
Conjured Item
Unique
Requires Level 60
Use: Instantly restores 2080 life. (2 Min Cooldown)
Use: Dispels all harmful magic effects from the caster.

and last but not least the brand new Shadowstone:

Master Shadowstone
Conjured Item
Binds when picked up
Unique
Ammo
Equip: Enchants your wand with shadow, granting each attack a chance to deal 116 to 174 additional shadow damage.
Equip: Increases damage done by Shadow spells and effects by up to 30.
Equip: Improves your shadow spell critical strike rating by 20.

Just a thought,

With Life Tap, I only carry the wand for bonuses. I only use it as a weapon for the Eagle phase on Zul'Jin. I hope they do something with the firestone, though; it's embarrassing!

Yeah at 70 I rarely use a wand... though I do recall a time when I did use a wand... mainly when leveling before Outlands quality gear. Even this small change would benefit Warlocks greatly while leveling and give them a slight bonus at 70. Whereas the spell goes unused in it's current form.

wow, that would actually make the fire stones useful. better than what blizz has done with it.

sounds great, but i doubt it'll happen... that would get nerfed as soon as someone does any pvp

And if that happened you can bet that carryng 3 different ranks at once would be nerfed :-(

But your absolutely right, almost any change that would make the spellstone / firestone useful anywhere at all would be hugely welcome.

Using the stones as an ammo slot seems like a great idea to me however the tooltips on the above ones seem a little excessive. Crit and damage as an added bonus with no drawbacks seems like it would cause a lot of the wow community to QQ. Good idea but I think it would have be nerfed a little to be implemented.

We used to use wands in 1 of the fights in AQ remember?
