This mace is definitely comparable to the BT/Hyjal loot for casters.

The best weapon for elemental shamans and shadow priests.
Stats compared to https://www.wowhead.com/mop-classic/item=32237

-3 Stamina
-1 Intellect
-22 Spell Crit
+17 Hit
+18 Resilience (not needed for PvE)
+11 Spell Damage

Overall if you are a PvE or PvP elemental shaman or shadow priest this is the BEST main hand weapon for you.

This weapon is indeed very nice for a tankadin. In fact, the only weapon currently in the game that would be better for them would be the Tempest of Chaos off Archimonde in Hyjal.

However, as was mentioned, the need for a fairly high personal rating will make this difficult/impossible for a protection paladin to get. If you are willing to respec holy for arena fights, you have a good shot at this. Protection paladins, on the other hand, are of very limited value in arena fights with easily knocked-back heals and almost no DPS (even with Blizzard's laughable attempts to improve the situation with items like a prot paladin arena libram...)

So unless you plan on specing holy for arena fights, I would recommend prot paladins either purchase the S2 gavel (which will drop in price when season 3 starts) or consider the very nice Amani Punisher which will drop from Akil'zon the "second" boss in Zul'Aman which will come out at the same time.

This item now has a requirement of 1850 personal arena rating and a new graphic.

This weapon is NOT good to tankadins. >No defense rating, dodge rating or parry rating.. And you can get a epic tank weapon that gives more than 30 stamina

I'm going to have to disagree with the first post, I don't believe this is the best mian hand for an elemental shaman.

Although it does have some very nice stats in comparison to Maelstrom's Fury, the loss in 22 spell crit is not worth the boost in 11 spell dmg. The gain of 17 spell hit is kinda garbage for a properly-specced raiding elemtnal shaman. And since ele shams get 12% spell hit from talents, we don't really need too much else (head enchant = 1% spell hit, and that's kinda a given...). The only case where i could see this really being better than Malstrom's Fury for an ele sham was if the shammy was having troubles reaching the spell hit cap. The loss in spell crit is just a little bit too much.

Also, for an ele sham, Wub's Cursed Hexblade is verrrry close to being better than this as well. While having ~30 less spell dmg, it makes up for it in spell crit and 6mp5, which are very tasty in the eyes of ele shammies.

Of course in this post you could prolly replace every use of the words "ele sham" and "moonbear" and you'd prolly get the same results.

Same stats as the Spellblade right? It's just a matter of which look you prefer?

Does anyone know if this weapon shows enchant graphics? It kind of bummed me out that the previous gavels didn't.

Comment by Geronin

All armor and weapons that require a personal rating now also require your team to have atleast same rating in order to buy.

Example:

Shoulders 2000 Personal rating now also require Arena team rating +2000.

Not that I know very much about tanking, but isn't a faster weapon to prefer? Cause if so, this one would be better than Tempest of Chaos. ( https://www.wowhead.com/mop-classic/item=30910 )

This weapon confuses me.

The Scryer's Blade of Focus has the same spell dmg, but +12 stam and +8 int and -17 hit and -18 resilience. In my opinion, I'd rather have the Scryer's Blade than this. Let me explain.

1. Same spell damage.
2. -17 hit, but hit is easily capped in PvP for SP's.
3. -18 resilience. This stinks, but with all the resilience on Venge/Vind gear, you should be fine here.
4. +12 stam and +8 int. Both are super important for SP's in Arenas.
5. Probably easier to get. This, however, totally depends on the player, their schedule, etc.

I'm 4/5 Vengeful with all the Vindicator items. I've swapped out my S2 Weapon, S3 Wand and started gemming my armor for +dmg. Currently, I'm at 463 resilience, 957 shadow dmg and 10.9k unbuffed health with the Amani Punisher from ZA (with only a +40 spell dmg enchant on it). The Scryer's Blade would bump me over 11k unbuffed health, give me more mana and help me break the 1k shadow dmg barrier in PvP. Plus, I'd stay at 463 res which is more than enough (481 is kinda overkill).

Any other opinions?

Req rating 1850 - 3150 points

Comment by Thottbot

Considered the best shadowpriest 1hander in game as of patch 2.3 (end Nov '07). Causes much gnashing of teeth from PVE players who consider it better than their Tier 6 raiding weapons.

Comment by Thottbot

Woah! Gonna get this on my elemental shammy once i get my personal rating up, cant wait.

Comment by Thottbot

Would assume that it is also a top notch pally tanking weapon as well.

Comment by Thottbot

you are most correct, top notch indeed

Comment by Thottbot

Is any onther pally spec other than holy worth a crap in arena?
cuz if holy is the only way then wouldnt the Vengeful Gladiator's Salvation be better?

Comment by Thottbot

when I say top notch I mean as a palladin (myself) i would respec holy get the mace than repec back to prot.
