In Diablo 3 , the “Corrupted Ashbringer,” a cult weapon from World of Warcraft, was spotted in patch 2.2.0.
As reported by 2p.com, players discovered the following weapon on the test server in the latest version of Diablo 3:
At Blizzard, they congratulated the finders first and then explained that they also held a “Design a Legendary” project within the team, parallel to that of the fans. The result that the developers came up with from the project was indeed the Ashbringer. Even though it doesn’t appear in the patch notes, they want to balance it and therefore ask for feedback.
The “Corrupted Ashbringer” can summon up to 5 skeletons in Diablo 3. When the fifth one appears, the “Corrupted Ashbringer” transforms for a short time into the “Ashbringer” and deals massive Holy damage.
In World of Warcraft, the Ashbringer was a weapon closely associated with the Scarlet Crusade. To this day, many legends surround this “Legendary” in WoW.
