[Contests] stranglethorn extravaganza: pole or trinket?

  1. bendez <Angler>, 2 months ago:

    If you win the stranglethorn extravaganza, which reward would you take? and why?

    i would take the trinket since +fishing doesnt really mean anything now. Also turning into a fish is always nice :)

    Pole for me. "It looks ike Nat Pagle himself used this". Nuff said.

    Win twice and get both.

    i was on a "MUST HAVE IT NOW" phase after i read about the trinket on els site so i took it first but i am one of the fortunate to have won both....i was also VERY AND EXTREMELY UPSET when they nerfed the trinket....i loved cruising on top of the water.

    I took the fishing pole. As a master fisherman you should have the best fishing pole in game.
    WTB unique look for it!

    When I won, I took the pole. To me it was a no-brainer. The trinket, while really cool, is something I would rarely ever use. But the pole gets used everyday and is still the best pole in the game. When wotlk was announced, I was afraid my trustly pole would get benched in favor of one of the new ones, but by the looks of it, Blizz intends to keep this pole as the best pole in the game. I just wish they would update the graphics of it to look as cool or cooler than the new ones. Also upgrading it to epic status would be a nice touch being that it is quite a bit harder to get and better than the epic pole in the game now.

    i never won it but i would go for the pole, like stikman said there is a much bigger chance that you will use the pole more than the trinkent and the pole is and (i'm pretty sure) will be the best fishing pole in the game. i also agree that the pole needs to look a bit cooler or somthing because if you look at the jeweled or ghost pole's from the dalaran daily's they look much cooler..

    Back then I was really not sure what to take.

    I won long before BC, so the extravaganza pole was the best for Alliance (the Horde had their quest pole from Desolace), but I had more interest in the trinket.

    So the first time I choose the trinket.
    Some weeks later I got the pole and I am still using it (even after being able to buy the pole from the Kaluak). ^.^

    As you said, the +fishing isn't so important anymore but the sad thing about the trinket is the 30 seconds cooldown. I still got it in my bag, but I just don't use it anymore. I am way faster just swimming instead of waiting until I can use the trinket (and now of course you got flying, so it's even less usefull).
    It's only a fun item for very rare moments - but then it is still awesome. :D

    I used to always say that u were better off taking the pole but when I heard about cataclysm I changed my turn-in macro for the trink. Won the trink and am going to keep trying for the pole. Faster swim speed I think will come in handy for cataclysm; maybe even keep it equipped the entire leveling time.

    I got the fishing pole when I won it and I'm glad I did. Now that there's a Sea Turtle the swim speed bonus of the trinket is obsolete.

    As for the underwater breathing part of the trinket, I have my trusty ring for that :)

    Hook of the Master Angler still has it's uses, it's useable indoors when you can't mount up on the turtle for the speed boost...

    I took the trinket. :D The pole's cool, but the bonus just wasn't enough for me tbh.

    The trinket's great because it's unique. Everyone can get some kind of fishing pole, but you can only turn into a fish if you win the contest and pick that reward. It's very nice for when I go out mining because I can reach underwater nodes very quickly. If I know I'm going to be swimming, I equip the trinket ahead of time. :D It's a real time-saver, and nothing beats turning into a fish at random!
