Arms with Qiang's Polearm

[Freedom]

I just read a thread where someone claimed to have used Qiang's polearm as Arms and it being better than a 463 Str blue (duh), but do you think it would beat a LFR 476, and does anyone have advice on how I can convince my guild to not shard it if it drops again for a Blood Spirit? How much better would it be do you think? I know the 378 FL BoE Agi polearm was better than any non raiding weapon in T12 for Arms. Maybe pay for the lost Spirit/Sha Crystal? Same goes for the Fist of the Spiritbinder for SMF.

Simcraft it. I highly doubt the 476 would be better, anyway. You're an orc too, which means you lose the 1% expertise, which is equivilant to losing 300 crit.

I can use Simcraft fine but can't get Simcraft to recognize Chardev and I don't feel like digging through a bunch of item IDs to do this.

all you need to do is swap the item name and ID (that u can get from wowhead in 15 sec) on the simulate tab
[edit] don't forget reforge and enchant

The problem is that ChardDev doesn't want to work properly though, and I'd really prefer to not do it manually and then have my GM override me anyways. I'll try it later with my gear though.

Ok your choice, but it's not that complex
import your character from armory--->tab into "simulate"---> find the line with your weapon and replace it with

main_hand=screaming_tiger_qiangs_unbreakable_polearm,id=86071,enchant=windsong,reforge=mas tery_crit
or
main_hand=screaming_tiger_qiangs_unbreakable_polearm,id=86071,enchant=dancing_steel,reforg e=mastery_crit
if you want to simulate with dancing steel enchant
and then press simulate

Nevermind, I got it, I needed to dig up my old Chardev account. Here's the profile

http://chardev.org/profile/7061-QiangArms.html

and it simmed as 76700 DPS. Not bad, but not better enough than my SMF Fury sim (74.7k) to justify "stealing" a Blood Spirit/Sha Crystal, especially considering I'd have to re-master Arms. 2.6% damage increase overall.
