Can we get some clarification on Doomerang?

The wording is different than Blade Flurry.

Doomerang states: Throw your weapon at a minion. It deals its damage, then returns to your hand.

Blade Flurry states: Destroy your weapon and deal its damage to all enemy minions.


Blade Flurry's wording implies that the spell deals the damage of the weapon. Meaning it is buffed by Spell Damage but NOT from Envenom weapon or Lifesteal.

However, Doomerang's wording implies that the weapon is dealing the damage, which would mean that the spell benefits from Lifesteal and [[Envenom Weapon]], but not from spell damage.

Can we get confirmation from a Dev about if this is the case or not?

    Correct, the weapon deals its damage in the case of Doomerang, so it benefits from Lifesteal and Poisonous, but not from Spell Damage. Also, keep in mind that when the weapon gets bounced, any enchantments on the weapon go away.

    Does throwing a weapon "destroy" the equipped copy? AKA how does this interact with weapons with a deathrattle?

    No, it doesn't destroy it. It puts it back in your hand, so it won't trigger any Deathrattles on the weapon being Doomeranged.
