Kiril, Staff of Beasts and Hunters

I believe I have spent enough time with my Kiril, Staff of Viagra that I feel comfortable with reporting it's uses and functions for all (one reader) to review!

When 4.3 was announced I wasn't very excited for the new raid, nor did any of the new bosses seem very interesting, heck even the fact that we got to fight ON Deathwing didn't draw my attention much. It wasn't until the loot lists were revealed and I read very carefully on the tooltip to the staff in question. "It makes you grow big!"

*Gasp!* As with the popular WoW mentality, bigger is better! But it also brought back "cool proc" weapons!

The proc on this weapon happens ABOUT once a minute, which is about 15% earlier than our Bestial Wrath cooldowns after the very initial Bestial Wrath at the start of any fight. Therefore while it sounds ideal to lineup this proc with BW, sometime's it's not worth waiting for it.

The proc gives you a stack of agility, up to 10 stacks every second until it is at full power, and when you will be at full size. The last ten seconds of the proc is when you are at your strongest. I tend to wait until the buff has stacked to about 9 to use my very first Bestial Wrath for ultimate pet crits! After this, if I see myself start to grow and my BW cooldown happens to be near cooldown, then I may or may not line the buffs up again. This weapon is also nice for Survival hunters, as it gives that class a sort of "cooldown" (Haha). Otherwise gameplay doesn't really change with this, other than the fact that you might not be able to fit through doorways anymore!
