Best dagger out of a 5-man for any caster

Comment by 27509

Great Dagger, from my experience the drop rate is LOW. Drops off the 2nd boss in shattered halls (the two-headed ogre). I've done him about 6 times and no such luck!

Also for mace users there is a great caster weapon from exalted w/ Lower City (shaman, priests, druids)

Stormcaller has +29 damage and +1crit when comparing to this dagger so it's not that much of an improvement and it proves how a good blue this is. Probably the best one-hand choice for destruction warlocks. Ones who prefer +damage instead of crit chance can go to Mana Wrath (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=27899) for more stats and some spelldamage or Greatsword of Horrid Dreams (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=27905) for stats, damage and hit.

There is a shortage of +dmg maces and daggers compared to 1-H swords.

Pass to the shadow priests, as it's quite easy to obtain 1-H swords via reputation.

See Greatsword of Horrid Dreams, which drops in Shadow Labs off one of the easiest bosses, Murmur.

As mentioned, this item is a significant upgrade for most shadow priests.

Yes, mages and warlocks plz pass this to druids, priests and, above all, ele shamans. Caster swords are plentiful, but this is the only 1h caster weapon that drops in normal 5-mans that can be used by druids, priests and shamans.

Elemental shamans in particular need this. Their soloing involves a lot of melee. While technically they can use staves, they really need the armor mit of an off-hand shield for effective soloing. Every other class can use staves just fine.

I(70 arcane/fire mage) got both this dagger and Hortus' Seal of Brilliance(https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=27534) in one run. It's a bit short on stamina, but those two together with +40 spell dmg are IMHO better than most of the blue staff drops (Bloodfire Greatstaff, Bringer of Death)

As a shadowpriest, I would only roll on this if it was a significant upgrade for me and there were no mages or destruction locks in the party who needed it, because I agree that crit is wasted on a shadowpriest.

Yes, mages and warlocks can use swords, but priests can use hammers.

https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=30832 is available for purchase when lower city rep reaches Exalted. The rep is easily farmed in the Shadow Labyrinth, and all priests should run it repeatedly anyhow for the 2 Hallowed garments that drop there (70 PvE priest healing set).

This is the ideal weapon for an Elemental Shaman for a few reasons:

1) Spell crit - used for our Clearcasting ability

2) Speed - Flametongue Weapon is the best weapon enchant for Elemental and gains a percentage of bonus spell damage regardless of weapon speed. This makes the fastest weapon possible ideal for FT. Every strike is unmitigated fire damage that interrupts an enemy's casting time and will even eat Grounding Totem. FT also crits for double damage with the Elemental talent.

If you are a caster who can wield staffs or swords and a Shaman in your group N's this dagger, please consider passing it to them. There are few alternatives for us and many for you.

its pretty stupid tbh to even think this is wasted on a shadowpriest. Thats just your greed talking. There are plenty of easy alternatives for mage/warlock out there. Nothing much for ShadowPriest - this is as good as it gets pre-raiding. I dont mind you rolling but saying its wasted on a ShadowPriest is completely wrong.

or here's a better idea, the priest rolls on the dagger and the lock/mage can run SL until https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=27905 drops. i guarantee you will see it multiple times before you hit exalted.

blame blizzard for putting the good shadow priest stats on swords.

Elemental shaman's dreams pre-kara.
-Spell Crit Strike Rating (maces give spell hit rating. /spit)
-Pretty High Spell dmg and Healing (121)
-Next upgrade would be Nathrezim Mindblade

Comment by CrackHead

to say that this dagger is lost on an spriest is tantamount to moronic, yes, we only have 2 spells that can crit, but since we only need to find +6% hit rating (the other 10 come from talents), we can boost our crits of those spells, and every end game raiding spriests will feel the benifit of succesful spell crits against adds for spirit tap proc's, as well as the larger amount of mana returned for casting the spell in the first place AND having there DPS come out higher at the end of the day, something EVERY spriest should be aiming for.

now don't get me wrong, if i was in a group and it dropped, and the mage needed it, i wouldn't think twice about passing, but you can't say that no priest has a use for crit rating.

my 2 penny's
