Verigan's Fist gets a Holy Forgefire proc in the files

Verigan’s Fist, the level 20 Paladin weapon Alliance players earn from The Test of Righteousness, gains a chance on hit to cast Holy Forgefire in the latest beta build. The spell deals 39 to 59 Holyfire damage, Holy and Fire at once, and three times as much to Fire and Earth Elementals.

Our copies of the files show the change. In build 1.60.1.70170 the weapon carries an on-hit effect that casts the spell, which build 70124 did not have, and the spell’s school is Holy and Fire combined. The same build also lowers the weapon’s Stamina and Spirit, while its Intellect stays as it was.

With Forsaken Paladins added in Forever, the Horde got a similar quest and its own weapon, Wolfsbane, whose proc deals bonus damage to Worgen. Our files name that proc Blazewind Blast: the same 39 to 59, as Holystorm (Holy and Nature) damage, tripled against wolves and Worgen. Some Alliance players had complained about the gap on the forums and hoped Verigan’s Fist would get a matching update.

Why it matters: Alliance Paladins leveling through their class quest get a damage proc the Horde’s version already had.
