Hand of Justice

What changed in Forever.

The Classic comparison lists 20 Attack Power and a general 2% trigger chance. Forever lists 12 Attack Power, a 1% base chance and the special increase against Dwarves. Keep the versions separate.

What makes it special.

While equipped, it grants 12 Attack Power and a 1% chance on melee hit to gain an extra attack. Attacks against Dwarves are three times as likely to trigger the effect.

Requirements

Level 53; unique-equipped trinket. It triggers from melee hits. The record also lists a two-second internal cooldown.

Binding

Binds on pickup.

How to obtain it.

The current Forever tooltip names Emperor Dagran Thaurissan in Blackrock Depths. Plan the emperor route. Historical guides naming another boss are insufficient evidence for the current source.

Put your find to use.

1. 1

   Agree on a run to the emperor. A short arena or Lord Roccor run does not reach the listed loot source.

2. 2

   Equip it for a melee playstyle. Against eligible Dwarf enemies the triple trigger bonus nominally means 3% rather than 1%, not three extra attacks per proc.

3. 3

   Compare longer combat-log samples with an alternative. A few lucky extra attacks are not a reliable DPS measurement.

Check these limits first.

• Read the database’s additional “3%” annotation in the context of the Dwarf condition. The description gives a general 1% rate.
• It does not promise triggers from spells or purely ranged hits. Attack Power alone does not make it a ranged proc.
• The Dwarf bonus does not apply to all humanoids. Specific enemy classification and special interactions have not been tested live here.
• The internal cooldown is not a player-activated cooldown. A random effect does not guarantee a number of extra attacks per fight.

Keep it, try it or pass?

A distinctive melee option with a specific enemy condition. Ordinary targets use the reduced base effect; Dwarf opponents change its profile. Use Forever comparisons for your playstyle rather than a blanket old Classic ranking.
